...Micheal Omotayo Alabi; Deon Johan de Beer; Harry Wichers; Cornelius P. Kloppers Purpose In this era of Fourth Industrial Revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, additive manufacturing (AM) has been recognized as one of the nine technologies of Industry 4.0 that will revolutionize different sectors...

...Khershed P. Cooper; Ralph F. Wachter Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study cyber-enabled manufacturing systems (CeMS) for additive manufacturing (AM). The technology of AM or solid free-form fabrication has received considerable attention in recent years. Several public and private...

...Sushant Negi; Suresh Dhiman; Rajesh Kumar Sharma Purpose – This study aims to provide an overview of rapid prototyping (RP) and shows the potential of this technology in the field of medicine as reported in various journals and proceedings. This review article also reports three case studies from...

... and manufacturing at Tennessee Tech University have practiced with the RP technology. In order to further extend a remote access capability to this current laboratory and let more engineering and technology students learn this technology via online access tools and resources, a new NSF grant was awarded in late...

... into three broad areas. I have omitted posts concerning “the conference coming to an end”, technical difficulties, and the like. Probably the most heated exchanges centered around linking art and industry. Clearly, some artists feel shut out of both the development of high technology and its use. Others...

... then traces the next layer. © MCB UP Limited 1996 Prototyping R&D Technology There exists a need to improve the mechanical properties of photopolymer prototypes fabricated via stereolithography‐based rapid layered manufacturing (RLM) methods. The goal is to extend the prototype...

...Ian Gibson As rapid prototyping technologies improve in accuracy and reliability so the range of applications increases. A number of new systems have recently come on the market and already established systems are showing significant improvements in the materials being used. The systems available...

...Syed H. Masood Explains that fused deposition modelling is a rapid prototyping technology by which physical objects are created directly from a CAD model using layer by layer deposition of extruded material. The technology offers the potential of producing parts accurately in a wide range...

... of the surface is beyond the limitation of the process, the accuracy of the surface is obviously not attainable[ 4 , 9 ]. © MCB UP Limited 1995 CAD Manufacturing Prototyping Technology Rapid prototyping(RP) using a 3D layered manufacturing technique is an emerging technology...
