Abstract: In machining process planning, it is critical to ensure that the part created following the manufacturing steps complies with the designated design tolerances. However, the challenge is that manufacturing errors are ...

Abstract: Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is the process of building threedimensional solid shapes by accumulating material laid out in sectional layers. Additive manufacturing has been recognized for enabling production of ...

Abstract: Distributed production paradigms have grown in discrete manufacturing as discrete products are increasingly made by global, distributed networks. Challenges faced by discrete manufacturing, such as increased globalization, ...

Abstract: We introduce a method to analyze and modify a shape to make it manufacturable for a given additive manufacturing (AM) process. Different AM technologies, process parameters, or materials introduce geometric constraints on ...

Abstract: Functionally graded materials (FGM) have recently attracted a lot of research attention in the wake of the recent prominence of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. The continuously varying spatial composition profile ...
