Distortion minimization of laser‐processed components through control of laser scanning patterns
K. Dai, L. ShawResidual thermal stresses and distortion are frequently present in the parts built using a layer‐by‐layer solid freeform fabrication techniques assisted with a moving laser…
Tool path generation of multi‐material assembly for rapid manufacture
W.M. Zhu, K.M. YuTool path generation is the key procedure to fabricate multi‐material (MM) assemblies in rapid prototyping (RP) machines. In slicing MM assembly, there will be 2D regions of…
Direct laser fusing to form ceramic parts
Hwa‐Hsing TangThis paper proposes a new layered manufacturing method for forming a ceramic part, ceramic laser fusing (CLF). It involves mixing ceramic powder with an inorganic…
A CNC cutting trajectory algorithm for profiled edge lamination tooling
Yong‐Tai Im, Daniel F. WalczykFocuses on Profiled Edge Lamination (PEL) tooling and the development of a new alogrithm, the Adaptively Vectored profiles Projection (AVPP), Describes the geometrical…
A dexel‐based virtual prototyping system for product development
S.H. Choi, A.M.M. ChanThis paper proposes a dexel‐based virtual prototyping system, which builds a virtual prototype with dexels or rectangular strips of solid. The approach resembles the physical…
Formation of electrical discharge machining electrode via laser cladding
Y. Tang, J.Y.H. Fuh, L. Lu, Y.S. Wong, H.T. Loh, M. GuptaThe feasibility of building copper‐based electrodes for electrical discharge machining (EDM) via laser cladding is investigated as an application of rapid prototyping (RP). Two…
