Characterization of metal powder based rapid prototyping components with respect to aluminium high pressure die casting process conditions

Pereira, M.F.V.T.; Williams, M.; Du Preez, W.B (Journal for New Generation Sciences, Vol 8, Issue 2: Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein, 2010)

This paper is based on tests performed on die component specimens manufactured by EOS-DMLS (direct metal laser sintering) and LENS (laser engineered net shape) RP (rapid prototyping) technology platforms, as well as ...
Component and die design principles and process parameters for the metal injection moulding of a Ti alloy

Pereira, M.F.V.T.; Benson, J.M.; Williams, M.; Chikwanda, H. (Journal for New Generation Sciences, Vol 8, Issue 2: Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein, 2010)

Metal injection moulding (MIM) offers advantages for mass production of components over conventional production methods for parts with complex shapes and large production runs. The MIM process includes mixing a fine metallic ...
Rapid die manufacturing using direct laser metal deposition

Pereira, M.F.V.T.; Williams, M.; Bruwer, R. (Journal for New Generation Sciences, Vol 7, Issue 3: Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein, 2009)

Global issues such as energy and climate changes have impacted on both the automotive and aerospace industries, forcing them to adopt measures to produce products that consume fewer combustibles and emit less carbon dioxide. ...
