Topology design and freeform fabrication of deployable structures with lattice skins
Uma Maheshwaraa Namasivayam, Carolyn Conner SeepersadSolid freeform fabrication is particularly suitable for fabricating customized parts, but it has not been used for fabricating deployable structures that can be stored in a…
A novel rapid prototyping system for expandable polystyrene
Kun Sun, Bo Li, Liang Fang, Qingguang YeExpanded polystyrene (EPS) is a low‐density and cheap material, which has been widely used in commercial areas. As the demand for small‐batch, flexible and quick production…
An organically modified montmorillonite/nylon‐12 composite powder for selective laser sintering
C.Z. Yan, Y.S. Shi, J.S. Yang, J.H. LiuThe purpose of this paper is to reinforce the selective laser sintering (SLS) parts of nylon‐12 using organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT).
Artery vessel fabrication using the combined fused deposition modeling and electrospinning techniques
Amal Owida, Rui Chen, Shital Patel, Yos Morsi, Xiumei MoThe purpose of this paper is to prepare a new combined method of rapid prototyping, fused deposition modeling (FDM) and electrospinning for the fabrication of coronary artery…
A preliminary design and manufacturing study of hybrid lightweight high‐speed wind‐tunnel models
Yang Dang‐guo, Zhang Zheng‐yu, Sun Yan, Zhu Wei‐junIn view of the strength and stiffness deficiencies of current photopolymer resin models under high aerodynamic loads, the purpose of this paper is to introduce a preliminary…
Geometrical modeling of H&N cancer tumor
Ali K. Kamrani, Maryam AzimiMost of the current radiation treatment planning systems use pre‐treatment computed tomography (CT) images to detect the tumor location and then plan the radiation therapy to be…
Speed and accuracy evaluation of additive manufacturing machines
Tomaz Brajlih, Bogdan Valentan, Joze Balic, Igor DrstvensekThe purpose of this paper is to establish a general method for achievable speed and accuracy evaluation of additive manufacturing (AM) machines and an objective comparison among…
Selective laser melted prototype of original minimally invasive resurfacing hip endoprosthesis
Ryszard Uklejewski, Mariusz Winiecki, Piotr Rogala, Janusz MielniczukThe aim of this paper is to present the main results of a research project finished in 2008 which concerned the selective laser melted (SLM) prototype of a new kind of minimally…
