Toolpath generation for layer manufacturing of fractal objects
Purpose – Fractal geometry can be used to model natural objects which cannot be easily represented by the euclidean geometry. However, contemporary computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) systems cannot be used to model a fractal object efficiently. In a general layer manufacturing (LM) workflow, a model described by the euclidean geometry is required in order to gene...
متن کاملEfficient concurrent toolpath planning for multi-material layered manufacturing
S.H. Choi and W.K. Zhu Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Abstract Reviewed, accepted September 10, 2008 This paper proposes an algorithm for planning efficient concurrent toolpaths to reduce the build-time of fabricating multi-material prototypes by layered manufacturing. The algorithm first sorts and partitions slice contours...
متن کاملAutomatic Process Planning and Toolpath Generation of a Multiaxis Hybrid Manufacturing System
With the integration of multiaxis layered manufacturing and material removal (machining) processes, a hybrid system has more capability and flexibility to build complicated geometry with a single setup. Process planning to integrate the two different processes is a key issue. In this paper, an algorithm of adaptive slicing for a five-axis Laser Aided Manufacturing Process (LAMP) is summarized t...
متن کاملCurve fitting with arc splines for NC toolpath generation
Arc splines are important in automatically controlled complex curve cutting process. However, the problem of how to determine the parameter of arcs according to desired curve fitting accuracy has not been completely solved. This paper presents a new algorithm for finding arbitrarily close bi-arc splines. It is based on research on the characteristics of spiral curves. The algorithm has several ...
متن کاملTurbulent wakes of fractal objects.
Turbulence of a windtunnel flow is stirred using objects that have a fractal structure. The strong turbulent wakes resulting from three such objects which have different fractal dimensions are probed using multiprobe hot-wire anemometry in various configurations. Statistical turbulent quantities are studied within inertial and dissipative range scales in an attempt to relate changes in their se...
