MODELING OF NATURAL ELEMENTS WITH SMART MATERIALS THROUGH ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

Computed tomography characterisation of additive manufacturing materials.

Additive manufacturing, covering processes frequently referred to as rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing, provides new opportunities in the manufacture of highly complex and custom-fitting medical devices and products. Whilst many medical applications of AM have been explored and physical properties of the resulting parts have been studied, the characterisation of AM materials in computed...

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 ...

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...

Geometric Modeling of Cellular Materials for Additive Manufacturing in Biomedical Field: A Review

Advances in additive manufacturing technologies facilitate the fabrication of cellular materials that have tailored functional characteristics. The application of solid freeform fabrication techniques is especially exploited in designing scaffolds for tissue engineering. In this review, firstly, a classification of cellular materials from a geometric point of view is proposed; then, the main ap...
