On the formation of AlSi10Mg single tracks and layers in selective laser melting: Microstructure and nano-mechanical properties (2015)
Journal Article

Selective laser melting (SLM) is a relatively new manufacturing technique that can be used to process a range of materials. Aluminum alloys are potential candidates for SLM but are more difficult to process than the titanium alloys more commonly used...

Design Framework for Multifunctional Additive Manufacturing: Placement and Routing of Three-Dimensional Printed Circuit Volumes (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 by ASME. A framework for the design of additively manufactured (AM) multimaterial parts with embedded functional systems is presented (e.g., structure with electronic/electrical components and associated conductive paths). Two of the key stran... Read More about Design Framework for Multifunctional Additive Manufacturing: Placement and Routing of Three-Dimensional Printed Circuit Volumes.

Fibre architecture design of 3D woven composite with genetic algorithms: a unit cell based optimisation framework and performance assessment (2015)
Conference Proceeding

There are vast possibilities in fibre architecture design of 3D woven reinforcement. This paper considers the application of Genetic Algorithm (GA) in 3D woven composites optimisation. A set of real and integral variables, representing 3D fibre archi...

Mechanical Properties of Ti-6Al-4V Selectively Laser Melted Parts with Body-Centred-Cubic Lattices of Varying cell size (2015)
Journal Article

Significant weight savings in parts can be made through the use of additive manufacture (AM), a process which enables the construction of more complex geometries, such as functionally graded lattices, than can be achieved conventionally. The existing... Read More about Mechanical Properties of Ti-6Al-4V Selectively Laser Melted Parts with Body-Centred-Cubic Lattices of Varying cell size.

A Study on the Laser Spatter and the Oxidation Reactions During Selective Laser Melting of 316L Stainless Steel, Al-Si10-Mg, and Ti-6Al-4V (2015)
Journal Article

The creation of an object by selective laser melting (SLM) occurs by melting contiguous areas of a powder bed according to a corresponding digital model. It is therefore clear that the success of this metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology reli...
