The impact of additive fabrication technologies on Institutional Research Development and the SA product development community-the CRPM story
Published Aticle === The Centre for Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing (CRPM) made a humble start in 1997 as a spin-off from a proposed research activity in 1995, at a stage when Technikons were still being seen as occupational training institutions rather than higher education institutions and and...
