Template‐based framework for nasal prosthesis fabrication
Jin Sun, Xiaobo Chen, Haihong Liao, Juntong XiThe purpose of this paper is to propose a template‐based framework for nasal prosthesis fabrication using a 3D areal scanner and a CT scanner.
Method to obtain hybrid rapid tools with elementary component assembly
M. Rivette, P. Mognol, J.Y. HascoetThe purpose of this paper is to propose a method to obtain hybrid rapid tools with elementary component assembly.
Fatigue performance of additive manufactured metallic parts
A.B. Spierings, T.L. Starr, K. WegenerAdditive manufacturing technologies such as, for example, selective laser melting (SLM) offer new design possibilities for a wide range of applications and industrial sectors…
The corrosive effects of artificial saliva on cast and rapid manufacture‐produced cobalt chromium alloys
Frank Alifui‐Segbaya, Paul Foley, R.J. WilliamsRapid manufacture‐produced cobalt chromium alloys are beginning to be used in dentistry but there are few published results relating to their properties. The purpose of this paper…
Using variable beam spot scanning to improve the efficiency of stereolithography process
Cao Yi, Li Dichen, Wu JingThe purpose of this paper is to present a new stereolithograhy (SL) process which could substantially improve the efficiency of building process through controlling the beam spot…
Study of the inter‐particle necks in selective laser sintering
Jamasp Jhabvala, Eric Boillat, Rémy GlardonSince pulsed lasers are mainly used in selective laser sintering (SLS) – contrarily to selective laser melting (SLM) – only the exterior of the powder particles is molten while…
Distributed recycling of waste polymer into RepRap feedstock
Christian Baechler, Matthew DeVuono, Joshua M. PearceA low‐cost, open source, self‐replicating rapid prototyper (RepRap) has been developed, which greatly expands the potential user base of rapid prototypers. The operating cost of…
Patient‐specific intervertebral disc implants using rapid manufacturing technology
Neal de Beer, André van der MerweThe purpose of this paper is to develop a process chain for design and manufacture of endplates of intervertebral disc implants, with specific emphasis on designing footprint…
