Additive manufacturing based on robotic welding is used for the manufacture of metal parts
by applying an arc as a heat source and wire as feedstock. The process is known as wire arc …

Additive manufacturing technology (AMT) is a topic that is of considerable ongoing interest.
The application of robots enhances the flexibility and intelligibility of the AMT. However, the …

Part appearance issues due to dimensional and shape inaccuracies (fidelity) hinder the use
of additive manufacturing processes to obtain final products. Inaccuracies come from …

Fully dense freeform fabrication (FDFF) is a process based on thin line cutting processes,
variable thickness layering, slicing in different orientations, and bulk layer attachment. The …

Sustainability of rapid prototyping (RP) depends on both model-building materials (wooden-
materials, photo-resins, etc.) and model-building processes (additive processes–SLA, SLS …

Build time and accuracy are two contradicting issues that have been a major concern in
rapid prototyping, and have led to the development of many slicing approaches including …

Purpose T-spline is the latest powerful modeling tool in the field of computer-aided design. It
has all the merits of non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) whilst resolving some flaws in it …

Feature recognition is the key to the computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided
manufacturing (CAM) integration to build a computer-integrated manufacturing system …

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a process in which material is added layer by layer to build a
physical part. In AM process planning, a stack of 2D closed contours is obtained when a 3D …

This paper presents a prototype Stereolithography (STL) file format slicing and tool-path
generation algorithm, which serves as a data front-end for a Rapid Prototyping (RP) …
