Selective Heat Sintering Versus Laser Sintering: Comparison of Deposition Rate, Process Energy Consumption and Cost Performance

Baumers, M.; Tuck, C.; Hague, R. (University of Texas at Austin, 2015)

The Selective Heat Sintering (SHS) process has become available as a low cost alternative to Laser Sintering (LS) for the additive deposition of polymer objects. While both processes belong to the powder bed fusion variant ...

Toward Better Build Volume Packing in Additive Manufacturing: Classification of Existing Problems and Benchmarks

Araújo, L.J.P.; Özcan, E.; Atkin, J.A.D.; Baumers, M.; Tuck, C.; Hague, R. (University of Texas at Austin, 2015)

In many cases, the efficient operation of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology relies on build volumes being packed effectively. Packing algorithms have been developed in response to this requirement. The configuration ...
