Aqueous‐based freeze‐form extrusion fabrication of alumina components
Tieshu Huang, Michael S. Mason, Xiyue Zhao, Gregory E. Hilmas, Ming C. LeuThe purpose of this paper is to develop an inexpensive and environmentally friendly solid freeform fabrication technique, called the freeze‐form extrusion fabrication (FEF), and…
Top surface and side roughness of Inconel 625 parts processed using selective laser melting
Kamran Mumtaz, Neil HopkinsonObtaining the required part top surface roughness and side roughness is critical in some applications. Each of these part properties can often be improved to the detriment of the…
A study of degradation of laser‐sintered moulds using wear tests
S. Kumar, J.‐P. Kruth, J. Van Humbeeck, A. VoetSurface changes like wear or local plastic deformation occurring during service of a mould make it unsuitable for further use and determine its life‐time. The performance of the…
Automated fixture design for a rapid machining process
Wutthigrai Boonsuk, Matthew C. FrankThe purpose of this paper is to present a methodology for the automated design of a fixturing system for a rapid machining process.
Degree of particle melt in Nylon‐12 selective laser‐sintered parts
Hadi Zarringhalam, Candice Majewski, Neil HopkinsonSelective laser‐sintered (SLS) parts are known to include un‐melted regions, where insufficient energy has been input into the powder to fully melt all particles. Previous…
Fabricating titanium denture base plate by laser rapid forming
Bo Gao, Jiang Wu, Xianghui Zhao, Hua TanThis paper aims to improve the efficiency and the quality of metal dental prostheses, reporting on the first patient‐fitted titanium (Ti) complete denture base plate fabricated by…
Design and analysis of digital materials for physical 3D voxel printing
Jonathan Hiller, Hod LipsonVirtual voxels (3D pixels) have traditionally been used as a graphical data structure for representing 3D geometry. The purpose of this paper is to study the use of pre‐existing…
EDM performance of electroformed Cu‐ZrB2 shell electrodes
Min Zhang, Dongming Guo, Zhuji JinCu‐ZrB2 shell electrodes were fabricated by composite electroforming to improve the spark‐resistance of the electrical discharge machining (EDM) electrodes made by rapid tooling.
