Computer Numerical Controlled Grinding and Physical Vapor Deposition for Fused Deposition Modelled Workpieces

experimental investigation of surface roughness for fused deposition modelled part with different angular orientation

fused deposition modeling (fdm) is a filament based rapid prototyping system provides us to manufacture real parts with multiple production-grade materials, such as abs-m30, pc, ppsf and pc-abs blend. fused deposition modeling technology, essentially perform using layer manufacturing process. more complex 3d physical models can be efficiently fabricated without geometric limitation by this tech...

Physical Vapor Deposition Simulations of Microstructure Evolution

Evaluation of Vapor Deposition Techniques for Membrane Pore Size Modification

The suitability of three vapor deposition techniques for pore size modification was evaluated using polycarbonate track etched membranes as model supports. A feature scale model was employed to predict the pore geometry after modification and the resulting pure water flux. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) and pulsed plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), naturally, form asymmetric na...

Modeling and Simulation for Physical Vapor Deposition: Multiscale Model

In this paper we present modeling and simulation for physical vapor deposition for metallic bipolar plates. In the models we discuss the application of different models to simulate the transport of chemical reactions of the gas species in the gas chamber. The so called sputter process is an extremely sensitive process to deposit thin layers to metallic plates. We have taken into account lower o...

Helicon plasma source for ionized physical vapor deposition

A helicon antenna that sits remotely outside the vacuum system is attached to a magnetron sputtering system. This increases the electron temperature, which increases the ionization of the sputter flux for achieving ionized physical vapor deposition (IPVD). There are no shadowing and contamination problems, unlike other IPVD devices with immersed coils, since the helicon antenna is outside the v...
