fused deposition modeling (fdm) is a filament based rapid prototyping system provides us to manufacture real parts with multiple production-grade materials, such as abs-m30, pc, ppsf and pc-abs blend. fused deposition modeling technology, essentially perform using layer manufacturing process. more complex 3d physical models can be efficiently fabricated without geometric limitation by this tech...

Current Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technologies deposit material as flat layers. The result is a “stair-case” effect on non-vertical or horizontal surfaces, and compromised part strength because of weakness between the laminations. This paper describes a FDM method through which layers of build material are deposited as curved layers following the shape of the part, thus removing the stair...

very smooth thin films of iridium have been deposited on super polished fused silica (sio2) substrates using dc magnetron sputtering in argon plasma. the influence of deposition process parameters on film micro roughness has been investigated. in addition, film optical constants have been determined using variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometery, over the spectra range from vacuum ultraviolet...

Layered manufacturing inherently suffers from staircase defects along surfaces that are gently slopped with respect to the build direction. Reducing the slice thickness improves the situation but never resolves it completely as flat layers remain a poor approximation of the true surface in these regions. In addition, reducing the slice thickness largely increases the print time. In this work we...

4D printing is a pioneer field to produce functional smart devices. The combination of 3D and material called as printing. extra dimension refers time in order shape transformation the printed part during time. FDM universal process thermoplastic polymers. Therefore, for successful typical deep understanding every aspect memory polymers especially necessary. So, this chapter, polymers, preparat...
