Layerless fabrication with continuous liquid interface production.

Design and Fabrication of Biodegradable Drug-Eluting Devices Using the 3D Printing Technique Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP)

Single-Step Fabrication of Computationally Designed Microneedles by Continuous Liquid Interface Production

Microneedles, arrays of micron-sized needles that painlessly puncture the skin, enable transdermal delivery of medications that are difficult to deliver using more traditional routes. Many important design parameters, such as microneedle size, shape, spacing, and composition, are known to influence efficacy, but are notoriously difficult to alter due to the complex nature of microfabrication te...

Mass Customization: Reuse of Digital Slicing for Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, enables production of complex customized shapes without requiring specialized tooling and fixture, and mass customization can then be realized with larger adoption. The slicing procedure is one of the fundamental tasks for 3D printing, and the slicing resolution has to be very high for fine fabrication, especially in the recent developed Contin...

Mass Customization: Reuse of Topology Information to Accelerate Slicing Process for Continuous Liquid Interface Production

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, constructs a 3D object in a layer by layer fashion. Comparing to traditional manufacturing technologies, it can build objects with complex individualized features with little extra effort. This characteristic endows additive manufacturing with the potential to realize mass customization. Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP), a new...

Thermal Simulation of Solidification Process in Continuous Casting

In this study, a mathematical model is introduced to simulate the coupled heat transfer equation and Stefan condition occurring in moving boundary problems such as the solidification process in the continuous casting machines. In the continuous casting process, there exists a two-phase Stefan problem with moving boundary. The control-volume finite difference approach together with the boundary ...
