The modern manufacturing industries are characterized by a wide spread use of remanufactured products. Thus there is a need of hour to fabricate an object by integrating the reverse engineering and rapid prototyping approach to facilitate the re-manufacturing process. This integrated approach might be reducing considerable product makeup time. Existing all integrated reverse engineering and rap...

These days competition is played in an environment characterized by high market shifting, rapid development as well as introduction of new technologies, global competition and customer needs focalization. Therefore, manufacturing environments are becoming more dynamic and turbulent than ever before. Traditional manufacturing facilities, however, are not able to cope with such environments, as n...

The tight coordination between the devices with structured test enabled devices, the design and test EDA tools, and the ATE also provides the ability address rapid manufacturing ramping. This paper discusses a joint activity between Teradyne, ST and Synopsys to work with actual product designs and improve the ability to ramp to manufacturing.

1 Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Corresponding Author Phone: (404) 894-9668; Fax: (404) 894-9342; Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT In this paper we propose a general method for making process parameter decisions in the development of a rapid manufacturing system. Given a level of demand, the designer can use our method to select the appropriate type of rapid prototyp...

     The fabrication of complex-shaped parts out of (wt %) Co-28Cr-6Mo alloy by three-dimensional printing (3DP) was studied using two grades of the alloy with average particle sizes of 20 and 75 μm. To produce sound specimens, 3DP processing parameters were tuned. The sintering behavior of the powders was characterized by the dilatometric analysis. Batch sintering in argon atmosphere at 1280 °...

New software standards supporting integration of manufacturing and engineering systems are emerging at a rapid pace. Two groups, the OMG (the Object Management Group) 1 and the community producing STEP (formally known as ISO 10303: the Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data), dominate in the production of standards for manufacturing and engineering industries. Their standards are based...

Rapid prototyping is an important technique for manufacturing. This work refers to the manufacture of hollow patterns made of polymeric materials by rapid prototyping technologies for its use in the preparation of ceramic molds in the investment casting process. This work is focused on the development of a process for manufacturing patterns diff erent from those that currently exist due to its ...

Today, modern manufacturing era is characterized by wide spread use of remanufacturing process in order to eliminate waste and contribute towards green manufacturing. The reengineering process can be carried out on damaged or worn out spare parts through an effective integration of reverse engineering and rapid prototyping approach. The integrated approach helps in considerable time reduction f...

In this paper, it is argued that physically abundant labor is not necessarily cheap labor. The latter depends upon the cost of food staples. Given the non-tradability of the latter, rapid growth without rapid agricultural productivity growth will make labor increasingly costly. This will make the transition to labor intensive manufacturing and the exportation of such products very difficult. Mo...
