VLM-ST process requires an additional human interaction due to the manual stacking and bonding Hence, building time, building cost and the part quality are dependent on the skill of labor In this present work, a novel rapid prototyping (RP) process, as an automatic VLM-_ST (VLM-_STA), has been proposed to improve building efficiency of VLM-_ST process and reliability of products The apparatus of VLM-_STA is designed to embody the process. Several characteristics of the proposed process and the apparatus are discussed in order to examine the efficiency and the applicability of the proposed process, various three-dimensional shapes, such as a piston, a human head shape and a human bust shape, are fabricated on the apparatus.
