Multiple-Material Topology Optimization of Compliant Mechanisms Created via Polyjet 3D Printing
(University of Texas at Austin, 2013)
Compliant mechanisms are able to transfer motion, force, and energy using a monolithic
structure without discrete hinge elements. The geometric design freedoms and multi-material
capability offered by the PolyJet 3D ...
Combining Additive Manufacturing and Direct Write for Integrated Electronics – A Review
(University of Texas at Austin, 2013)
Direct write (DW) of conductive materials in the context of Additive Manufacturing (AM)
enables embedded electronics within fabricated parts. Previous works use manual, hybrid, and
native material patterning systems to ...
Impact and Influence Factors of Additive Manufacturing on Product Lifecycle Costs
(University of Texas at Austin, 2013-08-16)
At first sight the direct costs of Additive Manufacturing (AM) seem too high in comparison to
traditional manufacturing. Considering the whole lifecycle costs of parts changes the point of
view. Due to the modification ...
Ranking Model for 3D Printing
(University of Texas at Austin, 2013)
The capabilities of desktop additive manufacturing (AM) machines were evaluated based
on the ability to produce a standard component. This work also developed a model/method for
evaluating and ranking AM technologies ...
3D Printing of Electro Mechanical Systems
(University of Texas at Austin, 2013)
Recent research has focused on the fabrication freedom of 3D printing to not only create
conceptual models but final end-use products as well. By democratizing the manufacturing
process, products will inevitably be ...
Controlled Multi-Scale Turbulence through the Use of Laser Sintered Sierpinski Pyramids
(University of Texas at Austin, 2013)
The research presented here is the result of a new collaboration between the Centre for
Advanced Additive Manufacturing (AdAM) and the Thermofluids group at The University of
Sheffield, regarding the use of fractal ...
Potentials of Additive Manufacturing to Prevent Product Piracy
(University of Texas at Austin, 2013-08-16)
Infringements of intellectual and industrial properties rights in terms of imitations of products
are continuously increasing. Massive economic and reputational damages are consequences
for concerned companies. One ...
An Investigation of the Material Properties of Laser Sintered Parts Incorporating Conformal Lattice Structures (CLS™) Technology
(University of Texas at Austin, 2013)
Cellular materials, including foams, honeycombs, lattices, and similar constructions, offer
the key advantages of high strength-to-weight ratios and favorable energy absorption
characteristics. The concept of designed ...
An Integrated Approach to Cyber-Enabled Additive Manufacturing using Physics based, Coupled Multi-scale Process Modeling
(University of Texas at Austin, 2012)
The complexity of localized and dynamic boundary conditions in additive manufacturing
processes makes it difficult to track in-situ thermo-mechanical changes at different length scales
within a part using experimental ...
Effect of Sintering Parameters and Flow Agent on the Mechanical Properties of High Speed Sintered Elastomer
(University of Texas at Austin, 2013)
High Speed Sintering (HSS) is an Additive Manufacturing process that creates parts by
sintering using inkjet and infra-red lamp technology rather than laser systems employed in
Laser Sintering (LS). This research ...
