Composites in rapid prototyping

Gibson, I.; Liu, Y.; Savalani, M.M.; Anand, L.K.; (Journal for New Generation Sciences, Vol 7, Issue 3: Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein, 2009)

This paper looks at the development of composite materials in layered manufacturing. It is known that Rapid Prototyping (RP) using a single material compares poorly with other conventional manufacturing processes when ...
Curved-layer fused deposition modelling

Singamneni, S.; Diegel, O.; Huang, B.; Gibson, I.; Chowdhury, R. (Journal for New Generation Sciences, Vol 8, Issue 2: Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein, 2010)

Current fused deposition modelling (FDM) technologies deposit material as flat layers. The result is a "stair-case" effect on non-vertical or horizontal surfaces, and compromised part strength because of weakness between ...
