Material efficiency in a multi-material world.
Material efficiency--using less of a material to make a product or supply a service--is gaining attention as a means for accomplishing important environmental goals. The ultimate goal of material efficiency is not to use less physical material but to reduce the impacts associated with its use. This article examines the concept and definition of material efficiency and argues that for it to be a...
متن کاملEfficient concurrent toolpath planning for multi-material layered manufacturing
S.H. Choi and W.K. Zhu Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Abstract Reviewed, accepted September 10, 2008 This paper proposes an algorithm for planning efficient concurrent toolpaths to reduce the build-time of fabricating multi-material prototypes by layered manufacturing. The algorithm first sorts and partitions slice contours...
متن کاملHigh explosive simulation using multi-material formulations
The accurate numerical simulation of air-blast is an industrial concern. Because the experimental investigation of these fast transient events is expensive and time-consuming, several numerical approaches of air explosion are carried out. In this paper, an airblast simulation is described using Eulerian multi-material formulation. In order to validate the numerical approach and prove its abilit...
متن کاملAutomated Design of Multi-Stage Molds for Manufacturing Multi-Material Objects
This paper describes a geometric algorithm for automated design of multi-stage molds for manufacturing multi-material objects. In multi-stage molding process, the desired multimaterial object is produced by carrying out multiple molding operations in a sequence, adding one material in the target object in each mold-stage. We model multi-material objects as an assembly of single-material compone...
متن کاملMulti-material adaptive volume remesher
We propose a practical iterative remeshing algorithm for multi-material tetrahedral meshes which is solely based on simple local topological operations, such as edge collapse, flip, split and vertex smoothing. To do so, we exploit an intermediate implicit feature complex which reconstructs piecewise smooth multi-material boundaries made of surface patches, feature edges and corner vertices. Fut...
