Generation of Porous Structures Using Fused Deposition
(1998)The Fused Deposition Modeling process uses hardware and software machine-level language that are very similar to that of a pen-plotter. Consequently, the·use of patterns with poly-lines as basic geometric features, instead ... -
Geometry Processing for SLS/HIP
(1998)SLS/HIP is a new net shape manufacturing method that combines the strengths of direct selective laser sintering and hot isostatic pressing. Direct selective laser sintering is a rapid manufacturing technique that ... -
Industrial Use of Direct Metal Laser Sintering
(1998)The Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) process was developed a few years ago by Electrolux Rapid Development (ERD) and EOS. DMLS has now been in commercial use for more than two years at Electrolux and also at other ... -
Influence of Rheology on Deposition Behavior of Ceramic Pastes in Direct Fabrication Systems
(1998)Rheology and deposition behavior offour commercially available thick-film inks and an aqueous alumina slurry were investigated using two different slurry-based deposition systems. The first ofthese deposition systems, a ... -
Investigation of Short Pulse Nd:YAG Laser Interaction with Stainless Steel Powder Beds
(1998)The development of metallic object construction has occurred at quite a pace over the last five years with provision of many commercial techniques such as indirect and direct sintering of metal powder beds. Although ... -
Laser Polishing of Silica Rods
