Abstract: The need for an open, inclusive, and neutral procedure in selecting key performance indicators (KPIs) for sustainable manufacturing has been increasing. The reason is that manufacturers seek to determine what to measure ...

Abstract: Multi-scale, multi-physics, computational models are a promising tool to provide detailed insights to understand the process–structure–property–performance relationships in additive manufacturing (AM) processes. To take ...

Abstract: Disassembly is essential to dismantle a product for remanufacturing during maintenance or at the end of service life. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed an information model for describing ...

Abstract: The need for capturing knowledge in the digital form in design, process planning, production, and inspection has increasingly become an issue in manufacturing industries as the variety and complexity of product lifecycle ...

Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) for metals is rapidly transitioning to an accepted production technology, which has led to increasing demands for data analysis and software tools. The performance of laser-based powder bed ...

Abstract: In this paper, we advocate for a more harmonized approach to model development for additive manufacturing (AM) processes, through classification and metamodeling that will support AM process model composability, reusability, ...
