The manufacturing industry has at its disposal a number of processes for constructing objects, including gravity casting, injection molding, stereolithography, NC-machining, deformation, composition, and spray deposition. The survey by Bose and Toussaint [3, 5] gives an overview of geometric problems and algorithms arising in manufacturing processes. Castingis one of the manufacuring processes ...

Additive manufacturing is expected to transform and upgrade the traditional foundry industry realize integrated rapid low-cost development of high-performance components with complex shapes. The additive technology commonly applied in casting mold preparation (fusible molds, sand molds/cores ceramic cores) mainly includes selective laser sintering (SLS) binder injection three-dimensional printi...

casting yield in a general sense must begin with these rules. THE consequences of a low casting yield are well known Furthermore, casting simulation does not provide the initial in the foundry industry: lower profits due to increased proriser design for a casting, nor does it automatically optimize duction costs and decreased capacity. Additional melted the risering. Thus, even if simulation is...

Metal casting processes routinely used in the foundry industry (e.g., gravity or pressure casting) are subject to a wide range of operational parameters. Since there is close correlation between solidification conditions, microstructure, and properties, effects thermal parameters alloying elements on microstructure designs resulting properties cast alloys have stimulated new research interest. ...

Foundry industry suffers from poor quality and productivity due to the large number of process parameters, combined with lower penetration of manufacturing automation and shortage of skilled workers compared to other industries. Global buyers demand defect-free castings and strict delivery schedule, which foundries are finding it very difficult to meet. Casting defects result in increased unit ...

A new opacity correction approach for oversampled volume ray casting is introduced. While the only existing opacity correction method in the literature is based on the assumption of dataset homogeneity, the new opacity correction method introduced in this paper is a faster, generalized voxel-by-voxel approach which does not assume dataset homogeneity. The new opacity correction avoids the datas...

Thousands of biotech companies are developing promising products, but have insufficient resources to complete the clinical testing process, while large, well-funded companies have increasingly focused on the need to access external innovation. As a result, licensing deals are an essential and growing part of this industry. Yet, casting a shadow over the licensing market is the classic Lemons Pr...

Castings produced for the automotive industry are considered important components for overall roadworthiness. To ensure the safety of construction, it is necessary to check every part thoroughly using non-destructive testing. Radioscopy rapidly became the accepted way for controlling the quality of die cast pieces. In this paper the fundamental principles of the automated detection of casting d...
