Laminar Flow The flow of a resin in a mold is accompanied by solidification of the layer in contact with the mold surface that acts as an insulator through which material flows to fill the remainder of the cavity
Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM) A laser cuts the outline of a cross section, then a new layer of material is indexed, bonded to the previous layers, and cut. This process is repeated using very thin layers of material
Land 1) The horizontal bearing surface of a semi-positive or flash mold by which excess material escapes; 2) the bearing surface along the top of the flights of a screw in a screw extruder; 3) the surface of an extrusion die parallel to the direction of melt flow; 4) length of the gate from the runner to the cavity
