Rational Decision-Making for the Beneficial Application of Additive Manufacturing
(University of Texas at Austin, 2017)
Additive Manufacturing is a technology that offers a high potential for industrial
companies. Nevertheless, companies lack experience with this new technology and face the
problem to identify processes where a successful ...
A Floor Power Module for Cooperative 3D Printing
(University of Texas at Austin, 2017)
Cooperative 3D printing is an emerging technology that utilizes multiple printhead-carrying mobile robots to work simultaneously to 3D print or assemble products on a factory floor,
which can provide the scalability, ...
A Hybrid Method for Additive Manufacturing of Silicone Structures
(University of Texas at Austin, 2017)
Developing an additive manufacturing (AM) technique for fabrication of complex-shaped
silicone structures is a challenging task due to difficulties in layer-wise dispensing and stacking of
such non-Newtonian viscous ...
Magnetohydrodynamic Drop-on-Demand Liquid Metal 3D Printing
(University of Texas at Austin, 2017)
We present a novel method for liquid metal drop-on-demand (DOD) additive manufacturing
of three-dimensional (3D) solid metal structures. This method relies on magnetohydrodynamic
(MHD)-based droplet generation. Specifically, ...
Topology Optimization of an Additively Manufactured Beam
(University of Texas at Austin, 2017)
This study investigates the application of topological optimization in conjunction with additive
manufacturing (AM) process simulation for fabricating parts that meet strict quality and
performance requirements while ...
Casting - Forging - Milling Composite Additive Manufacturing Thechnology
(University of Texas at Austin, 2017)
The current metal additive manufacturing has some drawbacks, such as poor performance in producing
forgings, low accuracy and efficiency, and high cost. This paper proposes a new technology called casting-forging-milling ...
Topology Optimization for 3D Material Distribution and Orientation in Additive Manufacturing
(University of Texas at Austin, 2017)
Products produced with Additive Manufacturing (AM) methods often have anisotropic
microstructure that forms as material layers are added during processing. Unfortunately, current
AM design methods do not accommodate the ...
Modeling of Low One-Photon Polymerization for 3D Printing of UV-Curable Silicones
(University of Texas at Austin, 2017)
Low-one photon polymerization (LOPP) enables an in-liquid curing to suspend a soft
silicone object in the vat without mechanical disturbance. LOPP requires a low-absorbance
wavelength and a great gradient light beam to ...
The Effect of Arc-Based Direct Metal Energy Deposition of PBF Maraging Steel
(University of Texas at Austin, 2017)
With the growing demand of metal based additive manufacturing it is inevitable that the
additively manufactured parts will be used in consolidation with different manufacturing process.
Arc based additive manufacturing ...
Fiber-Fed Laser-Heated Process for Printing Transparent Glass
(University of Texas at Austin, 2017)
This paper presents the Additive Manufacturing (AM) of glass using a fiber-fed process.
Glass fiber with a diameter of 100 μm is fed into a laser generated melt pool. A CO2 laser beam
is focused on the intersection between ...
