Direct Geometry Processing for Tele-fabrication
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new approach for tele-fabrication where a physical object is scanned in one location and fabricated in another location. This approach integrates threedimensional (3D) scanning, geometric processing of scanned data, and additive manufacturing technologies. In this paper, we focus on a set of direct geometric processing techniques that enable the tele-fabrication. In this approach, 3D scan data is directly sliced into layer-wise contours. Sacrificial supports are generated directly from the contours and digital mask images of the objects and the supports for Stereolithography Apparatus (SLA) processes are then automatically generated. The salient feature of this approach is that it does not involve any intermediate geometric models such as STL, polygons or nonuniform rational B-splines that are otherwise commonly used in prevalent approaches. The experimental results on a set of objects fabricated on several SLA machines confirm the effectiveness of the approach in faithfully tele-fabricating physical objects.

We consider the problem of finding the localization of radioactive source by using data from a digital camera. In other words, the camera could help us to detect the direction of radioactive rays radiation. Therefore, the outcome could be used to command a robot to move toward the true direction to achieve the source. The process of camera data is performed by using image processing and computa...
متن کاملOptimization of die geometry for Tube Channel Pressing
Since tubes have numerous industrial applications, different attempts are focused on the Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) processes of tubes. As an illustration, Tube Channel Pressing (TCP) is an attractive process for this purpose since it can be used for processing of different sizes of tubes. However, more attempts are needed to improve the outcomes of TCP. For example, imposing of greater s...
