A decomposition-accumulation model for layered manufacturing fabrication
نویسندگان
چکیده
A mathematical model to describe the principle of layered manufacturing and layered fabrication error is presented in this paper. In this model, the layered manufacturing process is characterized by the model decomposition and material accumulation. A 3D design model is represented by a set of points with sequence functions to correlate the layered processing information. Iso-sequence planes are defined as the processing layers to collect points with the same processing sequence and to define the material accumulation along its gradient direction. Examples of using the proposed model to describe the layered manufacturing to process flat and no-flat surfaces and the description of the layered processing error are also

Aspects of Shape Decomposition for Thick Layered Object Manufacturing of Large Sized Prototypes
Large sized freeform objects of different materials are widely used in various applications. Current layered rapid prototyping technologies are not suitable for the fabrication of this kind of objects, due to the necessity of a large number of layers and the limitations of size. This paper presents a novel approach of layered manufacturing that is most appropriate for the fabrication of these o...
متن کاملFeature Based Fabrication in Layered Manufacturing
To address the conflicting requirements between holding specified surface quality and decreasing build time in layered manufacturing, we present a feature-based fabrication methodology whereby the curvature effects are localized within each decomposed volume. However, staircase interaction between the boundaries of the decomposed neighboring volumes creates geometric incompatibility for deposit...

Physical concept modeling and pre-manufacturing prototyping of ship hulls are becoming more and more important due to the strong need for better quality ships, for optimization of the global performance, and for involving the customers in the development process. Physical models are typically scale models, which are used during and after design for various purposes such as shape presentation, a...
متن کاملA Slicing Procedure for 5-axis Layered Manufacturing
The 5-axis layered manufacturing technology facilitates fabrication of a part with overhanging features without the use of supports, thereby making a direct-to-use part from the layered manufacturing technology a reality. In this paper we describe a direct slicing procedure for a CAD model, a crucial process planning task for the 5-axis layered manufacturing. The neutral exchange format IGES is...
متن کاملConverting a CAD model into a manufacturing model for the components made of a multiphase perfect material
To manufacture the component made of a multiphase perfect material (including homogeneous and multi heterogeneous materials), it CAD model should be processed and converted into layered manufacturing model for further transformation of numerical control (NC) coding. This paper develops its detailed approaches and corresponding software. The process planning is made first and includes: (1) deter...
