Layered manufacturing - A preliminary assessment
Journal of Manufacturing Systems ; Layered manufacturing is a fabrication method whereby artifacts are constructed layer upon layer by depositing material under computer control. Also referred to as Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF), layered manufacturing complements existing (conventional) manufacturing methods of material removal
Theories on rapid design, assembly of prototypes.
MetlFax ; Suppose your 6-year-old daughter has just ruined her favorite Barbie dolls face with nail-polish remover. Though you've tried repainting the lips, eyes, and eyebrows, somehow they don't look quite right. If only you could build your own Barbie from scratch, right at home. Building a model is
Reconstruction of volume boundary from layers by triangulation
Journal of Manufacturing Systems ; Abstract Volume boundary reconstruction from a stack of layers is necessary for process planning tasks such as determination of the optimal part orientation and nesting if a model is represented by layer contours. This paper presents a new algorithm for this purpose. The algorithm is able to
Multi-orientational deposition to minimize support in the layered manufacturing process
Journal of Manufacturing Systems ; Abstract A support structure is necessary for part fabrication in some layered manufacturing (LM) processes, but the utilization of support structures often causes low efficiency and poor quality of the finished parts. In this paper, a process planning approach based on a multi-orientational
Embedded fiber Bragg grating sensors in polymer structures fabricated by layered manufacturing
Journal of Manufacturing Processes ; Abstract Layered manufacturing allows full access to any point of interest during the production of a 3-D part, making feasible the embedding of sensors and components inside the functional part. Shape deposition manufacturing was used to integrate fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors during the
Green flooring. (Flooring).(advertisement)
Building Design & Construction ; Commercial-grade vinyl floor covering is engineered for environmental sustainability. Its three-dimensional effects are achieved through a layered manufacturing process. Luxcia is completely recyclable and has little or no VOC content and excellent indoor air quality. Available in 44 colors and
Socially responsible. (Flooring).(To Market)
Building Design & Construction ; Commercial-grade vinyl flooring is made from recycled materials and creates a 3-D effect through its layered manufacturing process. Luxica is made from 35% post-consumer recycled PVC hoses, tapes, and other materials, which are used in the base layers of the backing system. Made without VOC
Automatic Process Planning and Toolpath Generation of a Multiaxis Hybrid Manufacturing System
Journal of Manufacturing Processes ; Abstract With the integration of multiaxis layered manufacturing and material removal (machining) processes, a hybrid system has more capability and flexibility to build complicated geometry with a single setup. Process planning to integrate the two different processes is a key issue. In this
An octree-based algorithm for the optimization of extraneous material removal in laminated object manufacturing (LOM)
Journal of Manufacturing Systems ; Abstract Layered Manufacturing (LM) has emerged as the technology of choice for creating prototypes from CAD models. Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM) is a form of layered manufacturing technology developed by Helisys Inc. Here the solid is built from stacked-up layers of paper (or other
