  • 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 ...
  • Customised patient implants : future lifeline of the medical industry 
    Truscott, M.; Janse van Vuuren, M.; Booysen, G.; De Beer, D. (Interim : Interdisciplinary Journal, Vol 7, Issue 1: Central University of Technology Free State Bloemfontein, 2008)
    Long-term growth in the additive fabrication industry will come from designs that are difficult, time-consuming, costly, or impossible to produce using standard techniques. Growth will occur with advances in the current ...
  • The impact of additive fabrication technologies on Institutional Research Development and the SA product development community-the CRPM story 
    De Beer, D.J. (Interim : Interdisciplinary Journal, Vol 7, Issue 1: Central University of Technology Free State Bloemfontein, 2008)
    The Centre for Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing (CRPM) made a humble start in 1997 as a spin-off from a proposed research activity in 1995, at a stage when Technikons were still being seen as occupational training ...
  • Product and process innovations by means of rapid technologies 
    Dimitrov, D.; De Beer, N.; Centner, T. (Journal for New Generation Sciences, Vol 4, Issue 1: Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein, 2006)
    Over the past few years, methods of layered manufacturing (LM) have advanced substantially to the point where they now provide vital strategic benefits to various organisations. One area of application where LM technologies ...
  • Time and cost assessment of the manufacturing of tooling by metal casting in rapid prototyping sand moulds 
    Nyembwe, K.; De Beer, D.; Van der Walt, K.; Bhero, S. (Interim : Interdisciplinary Journal, Vol 10 , Issue 1: Central University of Technology Free State Bloemfontein, 2011)
    In this paper the time and cost parameters of tooling manufacturing by metal casting in rapid prototyping sand moulds are assessed and comparison is made with alternative tool making processes such as computer numerical ...
