ABSTRACT
Laser Chemical Vapor Deposition is a very special process that a solid deposit is formed from gaseous
reactants. These reactants are formed by extremely high temperatures. LCVD results in the deposition of various types
of materials. Materials are such as semiconductors, metals, dielectrics, on to different substrate materials. The
deposition happens on a pyrolytic chemical reaction which occurs in the focus of a laser beam. This process has
unbelievable capabilities which start from a small size of a heated zone. This is a very special technology used for
precise control, of thermal deposition. The direct control of the direction where the deposition occurs is extraordinary.
The LCVD process is a mask less technique.

INTRODUCTION
LCVD is a recent application of the process CVD which is Chemical Vapor Deposition. CVD process used for
producing extremely strong and ultra pure ceramics, metallic fibers and surface coatings.
II.
Rapid Prototyping system fabricates complex net shaped metallic and ceramic structures. The LCVD bonding
occurs at the atomic level, producing a material that is fully dense and pure and mechanically sounds. The LCVD
process can fabricate fibers in any given directions. For the rapid prototyping this will give the capacity for multiple
materials to composite structures. There will be no limitations on multiple fabrications in this method.
Rapid prototyping is a technology which can automatically make models from (CAD) data. The rapid prototyping uses
a 3-d technology rather then 2-d. The models fabricated in this process have many uses. It makes a great visual aid for
