...Prabhjot Singh; Debasish Dutta Layered Manufacturing (LM) techniques build a part by adding thin layers of material. In this process, overhangs need to be supported by sacrificial supports, resulting in an increase in the build time, wastage of material, and costly post-processing. Metal-based LM...

...Andrew J. Pinkerton; Waheed Ul Haq Syed; Lin Li The process of coincident wire and powder deposition by laser has recently emerged in research work as a layered manufacturing method with a higher deposition rate than the established laser direct metal deposition technique and as a means of creating...

... sintering powders melting solidification natural convection capillarity layered manufacturing Selective laser sintering (SLS) is a layered manufacturing technique that creates solid, three-dimensional objects by fusing powdered materials with a moving laser beam ( 1 ). During the SLS process...

Liou; Kunnayut Eiamsa-ard; Kevin Slattery; Hsin-Nan Chou; Mary Kinsella A multiaxis adaptive slicing algorithm for multiaxis layered manufacturing, which can generate optimal slices to achieve deposition without support structures, is presented...

...Satish Bukkapatnam; Ben Clark Layered manufacturing (LM) processes have emerged as legitimate processes for manufacturing various precision microelectronic components and bio-implants. These processes are also being considered for fabricating large customized free forms like buildings, statues...

... and compositional requirements of tissue engineering scaffolds has slowed progress towards fully testing these promising findings. It is widely accepted that layered manufacturing methods such as selective laser sintering (SLS) have the potential to address these requirements. We have investigated SLS...

...R. Sundaram; J. Choi The 5-axis layered manufacturing technology facilitates fabrication of a part with overhanging features without the use of supports, thereby making a direct-to-use part from the layered manufacturing technology a reality. In this paper a direct slicing procedure for a CAD model...

...Ashok V. Kumar, Mem. ASME, Associate Professor; Anirban Dutta A layered manufacturing technique that uses electrophotography is described where powder is picked up and deposited using a charged photoconducting surface and deposited layer by layer on a build platform. A test bed was designed...

...Anna Bellini; Selc¸uk Gu¨c¸eri; Maurizio Bertoldi Layered manufacturing (LM) is an evolution of rapid prototyping (RP) technology whereby a part is built in layers. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a particular LM technique in which each section is fabricated through vector style deposition...
