© 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.

Toward better build volume packing in additive manufacturing: classification of existing problems and benchmarks (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Araujo, L., Özcan, E., Atkin, J., Baumers, M., Tuck, C., & Hague, R. J. (2015). Toward better build volume packing in additive manufacturing: classification of existing problems and benchmarks.

In many cases, the efficient operation of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology relies on build volumes being packed effectively. Packing algorithms have been developed in response to this requirement. The configuration of AM build volumes is partic...

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.

The cost of additive manufacturing: machine productivity, economies of scale and technology-push (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...
