...) Research Rapid prototyping CAD Titanium Metals Selective electron beam melting Ti-6Al-4V is a versatile engineering material which is most commonly used in aeronautic, automotive and medical applications as a result of its good mechanical properties and low density (Heinl et al., 2007...

... is to foster a basic research program in CeMS for AM. The long-range goal of the program is to achieve the level of control over AM processes for industrial acceptance and wide-use of the technology. This program will develop measurement, sensing, manipulation and process control models and algorithms for AM...

Ian Campbell This paper discusses a research programme in which the 3D computer aided industrial design geometry for a consumer product was translated into appearance models using the contrasting techniques of workshop‐based fabrication techniques and rapid prototyping using...

... are often made from materials with substantially different thermal properties than conventional metal tools. Engineers wishing to make use of these technologies to produce technical prototypes must be aware of the effect this will have on final part properties. Some previous research has been undertaken...
