Finite Element Method Simulation and Rapid Prototyping
نویسنده
چکیده
Rapid Prototyping is part of a modern technologies group whose target is to reduce the designing and manufacturing cycle of a product. One efficient rapid prototyping technique is that of 3D printing and, its benefits in designing and manufacturing elements of a laser medical device are presented by this paper. More, a simulation involving computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and heat transfer phenomena, carried out with finite element method, tested the good functional characteristics of the whole laser medical device. Key-Words: simulation, finite element method, rapid prototyping, 3D printing, model

متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Temperature Field and Stress Distributions in Multi-pass Single-layer Weld-based Rapid Prototyping
The complicated temperature field distribution during multi-pass single-layer weldbased rapid prototyping induces complex thermal stress evolutions and residual stress distributions. In this paper, a three-dimensional finite element model with temperature-dependent material properties is presented to investigate the temperature field and thermal stress distributions in multi-pass single-layer w...
متن کاملMultipurpose 3d Modelling for Virtual Clinical Interventions
In this paper we summarize the approaches we made motivated by multi-purposes to build up 3D surface and solid models having the input of 2D consecutive slices usually captured by computer tomography. As the presented work is a part of a system for simulating and evaluating virtual surgical interventions, high quality visualization is an essential issue among our tasks. Moreover, as we use vali...
متن کاملNumerical and Experimental Analysis and Optimization of Process Parameters of AA1050 Incremental Sheet Forming
The incremental sheet metal forming (ISMF) process is a new and flexible method that is well suited for small batch production or prototyping. This paper studies the use of the finite element method in the incremental forming process of AA1050 sheets to investigate the influence of tool diameter, vertical step size, and friction coefficient on forming force, spring-back, and thickness distribut...
