Modeling of Layer-wise Additive Manufacturing for Part Quality Prediction

Implicit modeling for additive manufacturing

Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology distinguishes itself from more traditional fabrication processes by several significant factors. It allows the creation of objects with complex geometry that would not be possible by subtractive manufacturing or molding. Additionally, 3d printers are of much simpler use than other tools. Finally, since the cost per objects does not change depending on the ...

Quality part production via multi-laser additive manufacturing

Towards Security of Additive Layer Manufacturing

Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM), also broadly known as 3D printing, is a new technology to produce 3D objects. As an opposite approach to the conventional subtractive manufacturing process, 3D objects are created by adding thin material layers over layers. Until recently, they have been used, mainly, for plastic models. However, the technology has evolved making it possible to use high-quali...

Mathematical Modeling of Additive Manufacturing Technologies

Mathematical modeling of additive manufacturing technologies is aimed at improving the performance of device, machine, and mechanism parts. These technologies include stereolithography, electrolytic deposition, thermal and laserbased 3D printing, 3D-IC fabrication technologies, etc. They are booming nowadays, because they can provide rapid low-cost high-accuracy production of 3D items of arbitr...

Hyperelastic Modeling of Rubber-Like Photopolymers for Additive Manufacturing Processes

This chapter addresses design issues of components realized with rubber-like PhotoPolymers (PP) recently introduced in Rapid Prototyping. In particular, the determination of accurate, hyperelastic, constitutive models which describe the PP behavior is discussed in detail. In fact, Stereolithography and Polyjet processes allow the production of highly flexible objects by using photosensitive res...
