Freeform fabrication of ionomeric polymer‐metal composite actuators
Evan Malone, Hod LipsonTo seek to produce low‐voltage, soft mechanical actuators entirely via freeform fabrication as part of a larger effort to freeform fabricate complete electromechanical devices…
Residual stresses in selective laser sintering and selective laser melting
Peter Mercelis, Jean‐Pierre KruthThis paper presents an investigation into residual stresses in selective laser sintering (SLS) and selective laser melting (SLM), aiming at a better understanding of this…
Improving accuracy of powder‐based SFF processes by metal deposition from a nanoparticle dispersion
Nathan B. Crane, J. Wilkes, E. Sachs, Samuel M. AllenSolid freeform fabrication processes such as three‐dimensional printing (3DP) and selective laser sintering (SLS) produce porous parts. Metal parts produced by these processes…
Development of SLS fuel cell current collectors
Ssuwei Chen, Jeremy Murphy, Jason Herlehy, David L. Bourell, Kristin L. WoodThis paper aims to present a new fabrication method for fuel cell current collectors. Demonstration of its usefulness and discussion of its impact on current collector design and…
Compensation zone approach to avoid print‐through errors in mask projection stereolithography builds
Ameya Shankar Limaye, David W. RosenPrint‐through results in unwanted polymerization occurring beneath a part cured using Mask Projection Stereolithography (MPSLA) and thus creates errors in its vertical dimension…
Functionalizing stereolithography resins: effects of dispersed multi‐walled carbon nanotubes on physical properties
J. Hector Sandoval, Ryan B. WickerThe present research investigates tailoring the physical properties of stereolithography (SL) epoxy‐based resins by dispersing controlled small amounts of multi‐walled carbon…
Case study: promoting design automation by rural manufacturers
Steve Tennyson, Gary McCain, Steve Hatten, Rudy EggertThis paper describes a cooperative endeavor between a state university and a federal agency to modernize design automation among rural manufacturers. It concerns efforts to infuse…
