The laminated object manufacturing (LOM) process is a freeform fabrication process used to produce wood-like prototypes and patterns for manufacturing processes such as sand casting. Therefore, surface roughness is an important factor in the utility of LOM prototypes. This study investigated the source of surface roughness in the LOM process to offer insight into the in-process control of surface...
