Additive manufacturing (AM) is increasingly used in the development of new products: from
conceptual design to functional parts and tooling. However, today, variability in part quality …

Helical compression springs are known for their linear force-length relation. However, it is
often observed that not ground springs admit a very different mechanical behavior than …

Mechanical and architectural features play an important role in designing biomedical
devices. The use of materials (ie, Ti6Al4V) with Young's modulus higher than those of …

Purpose This paper aims to present the way of modifying surfaces of 316L stainless steel
elements that were manufactured in the selected laser melting (SLM) technology and then …

The material structure obtained by selective laser melting technology from a VT6 alloy metal
powder is studied. The chemical and grain-size analyses of initial metal powder of VT6 alloy …

Purpose Springs are an integral part of mechanisms and can benefit from additive
manufacturing's (AM) increased design freedom. Given the limited literature on the subject …

The helical spring is one of the most used components in mechanisms but there is little
research on the application of 3D printing, also called Additive Manufacturing, to springs …

We present a compressed air motor, completely built by laser powder bed fusion. To
highlight the fully functional integration by additive manufacturing, the rotor, stator, bearings …

An orbiting camera mount including an anti-rotation arm for connection to a spindle nose of
a machine tool. A stationary pulley, having a pulley bore, is fixed to an end portion of the anti …

The paper deals with a new study for leaf springs. The authors considered two materials:
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) and PLA (Polylactic Acid), and two fill factors: 10 …
