An Investigation of Key Design for Additive Manufacturing Constraints in Multimaterial Three Dimensional Printing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The PolyJet material jetting process is uniquely qualified to create complex, multimaterial structures. However, key manufacturing constraints need to be explored and understood in order to guide designers in their use of ...
Assessing the Manufacturability of Students’ Early-Stage Designs Based on Previous Experience With Traditional Manufacturing and Additive Manufacturing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As additive manufacturing (AM) usage increases, designers who wish to maximize AM’s potential must reconsider the traditional manufacturing (TM) axioms they may be more familiar with. While research has previously investigated ...
Exploring the Manifestation of Design for Manufacturing Heuristics in Students' Early-Stage Engineering Design Concepts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) can produce designs in a manner that greatly differs from the methods used in the older, more familiar technologies of traditional manufacturing (TM). As an example, AM's layer-by-layer approach ...
Digital Design Automation to Support In Situ Embedding of Functional Objects in Additive Manufacturing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) offers designers access to the entire volume of an artifact during its build operation, including the embedding of foreign objects, like sensors, motors, and actuators, into the artifact to ...
Pulling at the Digital Thread: Exploring the Tolerance Stack Up Between Automatic Procedures and Expert Strategies in Scan to Print Processes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While the combination of 3D scanning and printing processes holds much promise for the field of new product development, problems with repeatability and accuracy have limited the wider spread adoption of some digital ...
A Mixed-Methods Investigation of How Digital Immersion Affects Design for Additive Manufacturing Evaluations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Applications for additive manufacturing (AM) continue to increase as more industries adopt the technology within their product development processes. There is a growing demand for designers to acquire and hone their design ...
Teaching Design Freedom: Understanding the Effects of Variations in Design for Additive Manufacturing Education on Students’ Creativity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) processes offer unique capabilities (i.e., opportunities) yet inherent limitations (i.e., restrictions) due to the layer-by-layer fabrication of parts. Despite the newfound design freedom and ...
Rapid Response! Investigating the Effects of Problem Definition on the Characteristics of Additively Manufactured Solutions for COVID-19
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Designers from around the world have proposed numerous engineering design solutions for problems related to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of which leverage the rapid prototyping and manufacturing capabilities of additive ...
Exploring the Effects of Additive Manufacturing Education on Students' Engineering Design Process and its Outcomes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Research in additive manufacturing (AM) has increased the use of AM in many industries, resulting in a commensurate need for a workforce skilled in AM. In order to meet this need, educational institutions have undertaken ...
Evaluating the Use of Virtual Reality to Teach Introductory Concepts of Additive Manufacturing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Limited academic course offerings and high barriers to incorporate industrial additive manufacturing (AM) systems into education has led to an underserved demand for a highly skilled AM workforce. In this research, virtual ...
