...Neel Kamal Gupta; Siddhartha S.; Shahu R. Karade; Ganesan G.; Gopal Dnyanba Gote; Sudhanshu Dubey; K.P. Karunakaran Purpose This paper aims to demonstrate 5-axis deposition using a double-slicing method for non-planar, overhang and complex geometries with the wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM...

...Seo-Hyeon Oh; Keun Park Purpose Additive Manufacturing (AM) conventionally necessitates an intermediary slicing procedure using the standard tessellation language (STL) data, which can be computationally burdensome, especially for intricate microcellular architectures. This study aims to propose...

.... The purpose of this paper is to present a new slicing algorithm to minimize printing times. Design/methodology/approach Typically, slicing algorithms used for TPP do not take into account the fact that TPP can print at a range of resolutions (i.e. with different heights and diameters) by varying...

...; the proposed method in this paper provides an approach to tackle this defect. Findings The results show that the proposed method can improve the digital masks generation efficiency. Practical implications The proposed method can serve as an effective supplement to the slicing method in additive...

... investigation indicates another possible application area. In case of flat-layered RP of computer-aided design models having randomly located, small-dimensioned but critical surface features, adaptive slicing is resorted to. Large number of thin slices have to be employed to preserve the critical features...

... facto standard and helps to make it work better. However, input to RP systems is sometimes best suited to the format of sliced contours. These may be produced from a three‐dimensional CAD model or via reverse engineering techniques such as laser scans and co‐ordinate measuring machines. Other sources...
