The availability of data from a manufacturing operation can be used to enable an increase in
capability, adaptability, and awareness of the process. In current cyber-physical systems …

Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies have progressed in the past few years and many
of them are now capable of producing functional parts instead of mere prototypes. AM …

Adopting additive manufacturing (AM) in product design is limited by the shortage of skilled
designers with design for AM (DfAM) expertise. This lack of AM talent is a major hurdle for …

This study presents the development of a novel MATLAB-based virtual prototy** tool
called Will It Print that evaluates part geometry to check for compliance with design-for …

Curve and surface offsetting is a common operation performed on solid models when
planning toolpaths for a machining operation. This operation is usually done in a computer …

Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the fabrication of geometrically complex designs
through layer-by-layer joining of material along single or multiple directions. To determine …

The demand for additive manufacturing (AM) continues to grow as more industries look to
integrate the technology into their product development. However, there is a deficit of …

Additive manufacturing (AM) is considered as a key to personalized product realization as it
provides great design flexibility. As the flexibility radically expands the design space, current …

Traditional design-for-manufacturability (DFM) strategies focus on efficiency and design
simplification and tend to be too restrictive for optimization-based design methods; recent …

The widespread growth of additive manufacturing, a field with a complex informatic “digital
thread”, has helped fuel the creation of design repositories, where multiple users can upload …
