This paper deals with additive manufacturing techniques for the creation of 3D fetal face models starting from routine 3D ultrasound data. In particular, two distinct themes are addressed. First, a method for processing and building 3D models based on the use of medical image processing techniques is proposed. Second, the preliminary results of a questionnaire distributed to future parents cons...

For decades, industrial companies have been collecting and storing high amounts of data with the aim better controlling managing their processes. However, this vast amount information hidden knowledge implicit in all could be utilized more efficiently. With help mining techniques unknown relationships can systematically discovered. The production semiconductors is a highly complex process, whic...

This chapter surveys some recent work on the application of techniques from computational geometry to geometric problems arising in manufacturing processes such as layered manufacturing, mold design, and numerically controlled machining. Within each topic, we discuss problems that have benefited from the application of geometric techniques, and mention several other problems where such techniqu...

This study undertook to discern the effect the production strategy dimension had on technological growth in a developing country. It utilized robust indicators that measured the penetration of advanced manufacturing technologies in the Ugandan machine tool driven industry. Poor or the lack thereof of comprehensive production strategies had a profound effect on the development of this industry. ...

This research will analyze and discuss the inner behavior of a flexible manufacturing cell in order to buildup its object-oriented simulation system. An object-oriented Petri Net will be built to model a flexible manufacturing cell. The objects of the object-oriented Petri Net are directly mapped from physical objects of a flexible manufacturing cell. This cell includes a robot, several machine...
