The Role of Materials Processing Variables in the FDC Process
(1997)
The Fused Deposition of Ceramics (FDC) is based on the commercially available
Fused Deposition Modeling (IDMTM) technique developed by Stratasys Inc. The FDC
process is being currently developed to make complex ceramic ...
Solid Model Creation for Materially Graded Objects
(1997)
Materially graded objects are objects composed of different constituent materials and could
exhibit continuously varying composition and/or microstructure [1][2]. Such continuous changes
results in gradation in their ...
The Use of VRML to Integrate Design and Solid Freeform Fabrication
(1997)
The Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) was created to put interconnected 3D
worlds onto every desktop. The 3D VRML format has the potential for 3D fax and TeleManufacture.
An architecture and methodology of using ...
Empirical Similitude Method for the Functional Test with Rapid Prototypes
(1997)
Rapid prototyping has the potential to improve the performance of the design process
both in cycle time and resources. Such improvements may be realized through the timely
visual, ergonomic, and functional information ...
Statistical Process Control For Solid Freeform Fabrication Processes
(1997)
Statistical prpcess control (SPC) has not been widely used for solid freeform fabrication (SFF) pr~cesses, primarily due to the wide diversity ofgeometries in builds. In addition, typical parts created on SFF platforms are ...
Extrusion Freeform Fabrication of Bone-Like Mineralized Hydrogels and Muscle-like Actuators
(1997)
Extrusion freeform fabrication has been used to build shapes from agarose, polyacrylamide
and polyacrylic acid hydrogels. Contraction and bending can be induced by pH change or
application ofa voltage between embedded ...
SL 5410: High Humidity, Water, and Heat Resistant Resin for Stereolithography
(1997)
A new Stereolithography (SL) resin, CibaTool® SL 5410, which imparts good humidity
and heat resistance, was released in July, 1997. This epoxy based resin for SLA-500 was
developed mainly to eliminate the relatively weak ...
Fabrication of In-situ SiC/C Thermocouples by Selective Area Laser Deposition
(1997)
With the intrinsic nature to process relatively small features, selective area laser
deposition (SALD) is a potential technique to fabricate complex shaped macro-components with
in-situ high-resolution micro-devices. In ...
High Pressure, Convectively-Enhanced Laser Chemical Vapor Deposition of Titanium
(1997)
Laser chemical vapor deposition is a freeform technique that can generate
three-dimensional structures from organometallic or metal halide precursors. To
obtain enhanced growth rates, a novel high pressure reactor has ...
High Quality, Fully Dense Ceramic Components Manufactured Using Fused Deposition of Ceramics (FDC)
(1997)
Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) is a technology that produces physical solid components or
parts from computer design models. This technology has the potential of reducing functional
ceramic product development cycle ...
