Micro-layered-photolithography for Micro-Fabrication and Micro-Molding
(2005-01)
A novel process based on the principle of layered photolithography has been proposed and tested for making real three-dimensional micro-structures. An experimental setup was designed and built for doing experiments on this ...
Accuracy Analysis and Improvement for Direct Laser Sintering
(2004-01)
The accuracy issue of a rapid prototyping-direct laser sintering system is studied in this paper. The sources of errors are analyzed for their contribution to the final accuracy of built parts. The error sources are related ...
Mining Of Text In The Product Development Process
(2002-01)
In the prevailing world economy, competition is keen and firms need to have an edge over their competitors for profitability and sometimes, even for the survival of the business itself. One way to help achieve this is the ...
Segmentation of Dimensionally-Large Rapid Prototyping Objects
(2003-01)
An algorithm was developed to enable efficient segmentation of dimensionally-large objects into smaller components that can be fabricated within the given Rapid Prototyping (RP) machine workspace. The algorithm uses vertical ...
Building a Document Corpus for Manufacturing Knowledge Retrieval
(2004-01)
When faced with challenging technical problems, R&D personnel would often turn to technical papers to seek inspiration for a solution. The building of a corpus of such papers and the easy retrieval of relevant papers by ...
A Study of Service Center Records Using Data Mining
(2002-01)
In many manufacturing companies, large databases containing data on failures and repairs of products are maintained. This paper reports on a case where information from such a database is extracted. Such information extracted ...
