Optimal 3D printing of complex objects in a 5 - axis printer
Ramos, Bruna; Pinho, Diana; Martins, Daniela A.L.; Vaz, A. Ismael F.; Vicente, Luis NunesThree-dimensional (3D) printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), has emerged in the last decades as an innovative technology to build complex structures. It enables increasing design complexity and low-cost customization with a vast range of materials. AM capabilities contributed to a widespread acceptance of 3D printing in different industries such as the aerospace and the automotive. However, impor...
Path generation, control, and monitoring
Faria, Carlos; Martins, Daniela A.L.; Matos, Marina A.; Pinho, Diana; Ramos, Bruna; Bicho, Estela; Costa, Lino; Espirito Santo, Isabel; Fonseca, JaimeA critical issue in additive manufacturing (AM) is the control of the printer actuators such that the deposition of material (or a few different materials) takes place in an organized way. Typically, the actuators are connected with a low-level controller that can receive computer numerical control (CNC) instruction. A 3D printer controller is, usually, expected to receive a set of CNC instructions in a format ...
