The consumer market is rapidly evolving which induces a burden in the manufacturing sector in order to meet the customised demands of customers. Therefore, utilising technologies like Three Dimensional (3D) printing to accelerate production by providing smart and innovative solution is pivotal to the survival of companies globally. In this paper a 3D Metal Laminate Printer based on Laminate Object Manufacturing (LOM) is presented as a low-cost alternative to address the mould demand for functional testing and small orders of injection moulded parts. A LOM process is discussed which utilizes Aluminium foil and high strength epoxies to produce a composite part that has the potential to be used in short to medium cycle injection and blow moulding for mass customization needs. Tensile tests of Aluminium foil and Aluminium sheet composites were conducted to assess the mechanical properties of the manufactured composites.
