Abstract: The quality of additive manufacturing (AM) built parts is highly correlated to the melt pool characteristics. Hence, melt pool monitoring and control can potentially improve the AM part quality. This paper presents a ...

Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) offers significant opportunities for product innovation in many fields provided that designers are able to recognize the potential values of AM in a given product development process. However, ...

Abstract: The design of more sustainable products can be best accomplished in a tradeoffbased design process that methodically handles conflicting objectives. Such conflicts are often seen between, environmental impact, cost, and ...
