Error modeling and compensation for FDM machines
Jiaqi Lyu, Souran ManoochehriThe purpose of this paper is to improve the accuracy of fused deposition modeling (FDM) machines.
Direct polymer additive tooling – effect of additive manufactured polymer tools on part material properties for injection moulding
Achim Kampker, Johannes Triebs, Sebastian Kawollek, Peter Ayvaz, Tom BeyerThis study aims to investigate the influence of additive manufactured polymer injection moulds on the mechanical properties of moulded parts. Therefore, polymer moulds are used to…
Comparison of STL skull models produced using open-source software versus commercial software
Johari Yap Abdullah, Abdul Manaf Abdullah, Helmi Hadi, Adam Husein, Zainul Ahmad RajionThis paper aims to compare the automatic segmentation of medical data and conversion to stereolithography (STL) skull models using open-source software versus commercial software.
Effect of Si content on the cracking behavior of selective laser melted Al7050
Ting Qi, Haihong Zhu, Xiaoyan Zeng, Jie YinIt is a crucial issue to eliminate cracks for selective laser melting (SLM) 7xxx series aluminum alloy. This paper aims to study the effect of silicon content on the cracking…
Precision of customized surgical osteotomy guide (CSOG) in mandibular reconstruction with a customized implant
Sandeep W. Dahake, Abhaykumar M. Kuthe, Mahesh B. MawaleThis study aims to find the usefulness of the customized surgical osteotomy guide (CSOG) for accurate mandibular tumor resection for boosting the accuracy of prefabricated…
The quantitative analysis of tensile strength of additively manufactured continuous carbon fiber reinforced polylactic acid (PLA)
Hongbin Li, Taiyong Wang, Sanjay Joshi, Zhiqiang YuContinuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites are being widely used in industry, but the fundamental understanding of their properties is still limited. The purpose of this…
Shape-driven control of layer height in robotic wire and arc additive manufacturing
Bohao Xu, Xiaodong Tan, Xizhi Gu, Donghong Ding, Yuelin Deng, Zhe Chen, Jing XuOnce an uneven substrate is aligned, traditional control theories and methods can be used on it, so aligning is of great significance for the development of wire and arc additive…
Personalized design of part orientation in additive manufacturing
Cong Yu, LongFei Qie, ShiKai Jing, Yan YanOrientation determination is an essential planning task in additive manufacturing (AM) because it directly affects the part quality, build time, geometric tolerance, fabrication…
Determination of mechanical properties of FFF 3D printed material by assessing void volume fraction, cooling rate and residual thermal stresses
Rafael Quelho de Macedo, Rafael Thiago Luiz Ferreira, Kuzhichalil JayachandranThis paper aims to present experimental and numerical analyses of fused filament fabrication (FFF) printed parts and show how mechanical characteristics of printed ABS-MG94…
Characterization of 3D-printed lenses and diffraction gratings made by DLP additive manufacturing
Laura D. Vallejo-Melgarejo, Ronald G. Reifenberger, Brittany A. Newell, Carlos A. Narváez-Tovar, José M. Garcia-BravoAn Autodesk Ember three-dimensional (3D) printer was used to print optical components from Clear PR48 photocurable resin. The cured PR48 was characterized by the per cent of light…
