An Engineering Services Framework for Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing is now mature and is becoming a mainstream production technique for various industries. It is important that engineering services organizations equip themselves to provide a new range of services in this sector. This paper presents an engineering process framework for evaluating and adopting additive manufacturing. It describes tools developed to improve engineering servi...

A Reverse Engineering Approach

As Extensible Markup Language (XML) (Bray, 2004) has become the standard document format, the chance that users have to deal with XML documents with different structures is increasing. If the schema of the XML documents in Document Type Definition (DTD) (Bosak, 1998) is given or derived from the XML documents right away (Kay, 1999; Moh, 2000), it is easier to study the contents of the XML docum...

The status, challenges, and future of additive manufacturing in engineering

Additive manufacturing (AM) is poised to bring about a revolution in the way products are designed, manufactured, and distributed to end users. This technology has gained significant academic as well as industry interest due to its ability to create complex geometries with customizable material properties. AM has also inspired the development of the maker movement by democratizing design and ma...

Columbus: A Reverse Engineering Approach

In this paper we present our approach to several common problems in reverse engineering that are built around the Columbus framework. Columbus defines several fundamental building blocks for the use in reverse engineering processes, and as such it can be an important player in the studies conducted at the workshop for Empirical Studies in Reverse Engineering. The Columbus framework proved its u...
