Rapid Prototyping Technologies in Prosthetic Dentistry

Background: Recently, rapid prototyping technology is the future of quick and direct production. This technology found applications with metal framework of fixed partial dentures, framework of removable partial dentures, facial prostheses and titanium implants in prosthetic dentistry. Laser beam sintered the selected areas on the alloy powders and the restoration is produced layer by layer at s...

Rapid Prototyping of Parallel Architectures using DG2VHDL: Recent Advancements

DG2VHDL is a tool suite which translates automatically Dependence Graphs (DGs) to high quality, ready to synthesize VHDL models for distributed memory and control processor arrays 1, 2] (also known as Signal Flow Graphs 3]). In this paper we introduce the Optimizer, a tool recently added to the family for searching eeciently the large space of feasible solutions for optimal linear space and tim...
