Enhanced-pixel strategy for wire arc additive manufacturing trajectory planning: operational efficiency and effectiveness analyses
Rafael Pereira Ferreira, Louriel Oliveira Vilarinho, Americo ScottiThis study aims to propose and evaluate the progress in the basic-pixel (a strategy to generate continuous trajectories that fill out the entire surface) algorithm towards…
Effect of recycled powder and gear profile into the functionality of additive manufacturing polymer gears
Flaviana Calignano, Alessandro Bove, Vincenza Mercurio, Giovanni MarchiandiPolymer laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/P) is an additive manufacturing technology that is sustainable due to the possibility of recycling the powder multiple times and allowing…
Manufacture of thermoplastic molds by fused filament fabrication 3D printing for rapid prototyping of polyurethane foam molded products
Guillermo Guerrero-Vacas, Jaime Gómez-Castillo, Oscar Rodríguez-AlabandaPolyurethane (PUR) foam parts are traditionally manufactured using metallic molds, an unsuitable approach for prototyping purposes. Thus, rapid tooling of disposable molds using…
On the possibilities of merging additive manufacturing and powder injection molding in the production of metal parts
Martin Novák, Berenika Hausnerova, Vladimir Pata, Daniel SanetrnikThis study aims to enhance merging of additive manufacturing (AM) techniques with powder injection molding (PIM). In this way, the prototypes could be 3D-printed and mass…
Mechanical properties and failure modes of additively-manufactured chiral metamaterials based on Euclidean tessellations: an experimental and finite element study
Luke Mizzi, Arrigo Simonetti, Andrea SpaggiariThe “chiralisation” of Euclidean polygonal tessellations is a novel, recent method which has been used to design new auxetic metamaterials with complex topologies and improved…
Design and characterization of 3D-printed TPU-based lattice structures. Application to methodology for the design of personalized therapeutic products
Sergio de la Rosa, Pedro F. Mayuet, Cátia S. Silva, Álvaro M. Sampaio, Lucía Rodríguez-ParadaThis papers aims to study lattice structures in terms of geometric variables, manufacturing variables and material-based variants and their correlation with compressive behaviour…
Artificial reefs through additive manufacturing: a review of their design, purposes and fabrication process for marine restoration and management
Ilse Valenzuela Matus, Jorge Lino Alves, Joaquim Góis, Paulo Vaz-Pires, Augusto Barata da RochaThe purpose of this paper is to review cases of artificial reefs built through additive manufacturing (AM) technologies and analyse their ecological goals, fabrication process…
