Modeling effects of oxygen inhibition in mask‐based stereolithography
Amit S. Jariwala, Fei Ding, Aparna Boddapati, Victor Breedveld, Martha A. Grover, Clifford L. Henderson, David W. RosenThe purpose of this paper is to present a model that can be used to simulate the photopolymerization process in micro‐stereolithography (SL) in order to predict the shape of the…
Effect of section thickness and build orientation on tensile properties and material characteristics of laser sintered nylon‐12 parts
Candice Majewski, Neil HopkinsonThe purpose of this paper is to describe work carried out as part of a £350,000 project aimed at improving understanding of polymer sintering processes. This particular package of…
Electrochemical deposition of metal ions in porous laser sintered inter‐metallic and ceramic preforms
Abhishek Goel, David BourellThe purpose of this paper is to establish a scientific understanding for electrochemical infiltration of laser sintered (LS) preforms.
The guide to glass 3D printing: developments, methods, diagnostics and results
Grant Marchelli, Renuka Prabhakar, Duane Storti, Mark GanterThis purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the steps and processes behind successfully adapting novel materials, namely virgin glass and recycled glass, to…
Influence of the particle size distribution on surface quality and mechanical properties in AM steel parts
A.B. Spierings, N. Herres, G. LevyA recent study confirmed that the particle size distribution of a metallic powder material has a major influence on the density of a part produced by selective laser melting…
Development of low‐cost imaging system for laser metal deposition processes
Shyam Barua, Todd Sparks, Frank LiouThe melt pool created by a laser is one of the most important factors affecting the quality of the deposit in a laser metal deposition (LMD) process. The high‐intensity infrared…
Self‐assembly in additive manufacturing: opportunities and obstacles
N.B. Crane, J. Tuckerman, G.N. NielsonAdditive manufacturing (AM) offers substantial flexibility in shape, but much less flexibility in materials and functionality – particularly at small size scales. A system for…
A layerless additive manufacturing process based on CNC accumulation
Yong Chen, Chi Zhou, Jingyuan LaoMost current additive manufacturing (AM) processes are layer based. By converting a three‐dimensional model into two‐dimensional layers, the process planning can be dramatically…
