The Development of an Integrated Graphical Sls Process Control Interface
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the systematic development of a man/machine interface for Selective Laser Sintering. The interface developed integrates geometry design, process data/code generation, power control and communication in a graphical environment. The objective of this interface is to provide high flexibility and robustness to researchers to meet their special needs. For example, the user can generate laser power profiles of any shape, or control the laser power by PWM or an analog voltage. The control code for the machine is automatically generated with minimum human input. Currently the interface is limited to use on a single layer machine, but can be easily modified for multi-layer machines. LabVIEW is employed as the developing platform.

Computer software plays an important role in the implementation of Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) technologies. This paper describes a software testbed for processing part geometry for a particular SFF technology, selective laser sintering (SLS), that is built around the separation of the slicing and rasterization operations to accommodate geometric information from a variety of sources. The ...
متن کاملUsing a Virtual Reality Environment to Simulate the Pushing of Cylindrical Nanoparticles
With the rise in the use of AFM (Atomic Force Microscope), we have witnessed a growing use of atomic microscope based nanorobots in the precise displacement of various particles. There are certain limitations to the application of nanorobots in the moving of nanoparticles. One of the most important of these limitations is the lack of an appropriate image feedback concurrent with the displaci...
