AbstractIn this paper, due to the importance of maintaining a secure grip with the control hand in kayaking, a simple three phase process is presented for the massive development of personalized grips which allow the improvement of this handgrip. This process consists of obtaining the 3D geometry of the paddler's handgrip by using Reverse Engineering (RE) tools, designing the grip from the obtained 3D geometry by using Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools and manufacturing the grip by using Additive Manufacturing (AM) tools. Therefore, this paper shows that the RE, CAD and AM tools available today allow the customization of products for many applications.

Abstract Computer aided design tools are gaining popularity in industry due to their ability to model the geometric aspects of products. This has shown substantial benefit for reducing the need and expense of building physical prototypes and allowing parts and tooling to be manufactured directly from these models. However, the current capabilities in existing CAD tools for modeling assemblies are quite limited. In this paper we introduce a representation for describing interfaces between parts within hierarchical assemblies for capturing functional and physical mating relations. This representation is designed to support automated reasoning and automated generation and modification of assemblies. It is also designed for use with very large assemblies, compactly representing the interfaces of parts and assemblies that are reused within larger assemblies. We describe how this representation is used in our prototype design system, Genesis, for designing aircraft systems.

Laser additive manufacturing is an advanced manufacturing process for making prototypes as well as functional parts directly from the three dimensional (3D) Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model of the part and the parts are built up adding materials layer after layer, until the part is competed. Of all the additive manufacturing process, laser additive manufacturing is more favoured because of the advantages that laser offers. Laser is characterized by collimated linear beam that can be accurately controlled. This chapter brings to light, the various laser additive manufacturing technologies such as: - selective laser sintering and melting, stereolithography and laser metal deposition. Each of these laser additive manufacturing technologies are described with their merits and demerits as well as their areas of applications. Properties of some of the parts produced through these processes are also reviewed in this chapter.

The Impact

AbstractThis paper presents a preliminary comparison between the role of computer-aided design (CAD) and sketching in engineering through a case study of a senior design project and interviews with industry and academia. The design team consisted of four senior level mechanical engineering students each with less than 1 year of professional experience are observed while completing an industry sponsored mechanical engineering capstone design project across a 17 week semester. Factors investigated include what CAD tools are used, when in the design process they are implemented, the justification for their use from the students' perspectives, the actual knowledge gained from their use, the impact on the final designed artifact, and the contributions of any sketches generated. At each design step, comparisons are made between CAD and sketching. The students implemented CAD tools at the onset of the project, generally failing to realize gains in design efficiency or effectiveness in the early conceptual phases of the design process. As the design became more concrete, the team was able to recognize clear gains in both efficiency and effectiveness through the use of computer assisted design programs. This study is augmented by interviews with novice and experienced industry users and academic instructors to align the trends observed in the case study with industry practice and educational emphasis. A disconnect in the perceived capability of CAD tools was found between novice and experienced user groups. Opinions on the importance of sketching skills differed between novice educators and novice industry professionals, suggesting that there is a change of opinion as to the importance of sketching formed when recent graduates transition from academia to industry. The results suggest that there is a need to emphasize the importance of sketching and a deeper understanding as to the true utility of CAD tools at each stage of the design process.

Computer-aided design (CAD) tools are frequently employed to verify the design objectives before the fabrication of an integrated circuit. An important circuit parameter that requires accurate characterization is the power consumption due to the strict constraints on the acceptable power envelope of integrated systems. Circuit simulators typically provide built-in functions to measure the power consumption. However, the accuracy of the measured power is mostly overlooked since the approximations and the methodologies used by the existing built-in power estimation tools are not well documented. The research community tends to assume that the built-in functions provide accurate power figures. This blind-trust in the CAD tools, however, may lead to gross errors in power estimation. A generic methodology to accurately measure the power and energy consumption with the circuit simulators is described in this paper. An equation to calculate the device power consumption based on the different current conduction paths in a MOSFET is presented. An expression for the total power consumption of a complex circuit is derived by explicitly considering the different circuit terminals including the inputs, the outputs, and the body-contacts. Results indicate that the power measurements with the built-in functions of widely used commercial circuit simulators can introduce significant errors in a 65 nm CMOS technology. For deeply scaled nano-CMOS circuits, a conscious power and energy measurement with the proposed explicit methodology is recommended for an accurate pre-fabrication circuit characterization.

Previously published evidence has established major clinical benefits from using computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing, and additive manufacturing to produce patient-specific devices. These include cutting guides, drilling guides, positioning guides, and implants. However, custom devices produced using these methods are still not in routine use, particularly by the UK National Health Service. Oft-cited reasons for this slow uptake include the following: a higher up-front cost than conventionally fabricated devices, material-choice uncertainty, and a lack of long-term follow-up due to their relatively recent introduction. This article identifies a further gap in current knowledge – that of design rules, or key specification considerations for complex computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing/additive manufacturing devices. This research begins to address the gap by combining a detailed review of the literature with first-hand experience of interdisciplinary collaboration on five craniofacial patient case studies. In each patient case, bony lesions in the orbito-temporal region were segmented, excised, and reconstructed in the virtual environment. Three cases translated these digital plans into theatre via polymer surgical guides. Four cases utilised additive manufacturing to fabricate titanium implants. One implant was machined from polyether ether ketone. From the literature, articles with relevant abstracts were analysed to extract design considerations. In all, 19 frequently recurring design considerations were extracted from previous publications. Nine new design considerations were extracted from the case studies – on the basis of subjective clinical evaluation. These were synthesised to produce a design considerations framework to assist clinicians with prescribing and design engineers with modelling. Promising avenues for further research are proposed.

This article compared the accuracy of producing patient-specific cranioplasty implants using four different approaches. Benchmark geometry was designed to represent a cranium and a defect added simulating a craniectomy. An ‘ideal’ contour reconstruction was calculated and compared against reconstructions resulting from the four approaches –‘conventional’, ‘semi-digital’, ‘digital – non-automated’ and ‘digital – semi-automated’. The ‘conventional’ approach relied on hand carving a reconstruction, turning this into a press tool, and pressing titanium sheet. This approach is common in the UK National Health Service. The ‘semi-digital’ approach removed the hand-carving element. Both of the ‘digital’ approaches utilised additive manufacturing to produce the end-use implant. The geometries were designed using a non-specialised computer-aided design software and a semi-automated cranioplasty implant-specific computer-aided design software. It was found that all plates were clinically acceptable and that the digitally designed and additive manufacturing plates were as accurate as the conventional implants. There were no significant differences between the additive manufacturing plates designed using non-specialised computer-aided design software and those designed using the semi-automated tool. The semi-automated software and additive manufacturing production process were capable of producing cranioplasty implants of similar accuracy to multi-purpose software and additive manufacturing, and both were more accurate than handmade implants. The difference was not of clinical significance, demonstrating that the accuracy of additive manufacturing cranioplasty implants meets current best practice.

Reverse engineering proceeds in the reverse of conventional manufacturing order, based on the pull system instead of the traditional push system. This paper is concerned with applying the reverse engineering concept to the development of parts. With this procedure the development of parts involves an iterative reverse process from the scanning of a developmental prototype towards the design model. The focus is on the use of two set-ups of network in providing computerized data of the prototype that are exchangeable among Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) systems. The first set-up applies a direct approach to manipulate the scanned data in the CAM environment for generating Numerical Control (NC) programs used for machining the workpiece. The second set-up applies an indirect approach to manipulate the scanned data in a CAD environment prior to generating the NC programs. The major benefits gained from the reverse engineering application in the development of parts are also described.

In this paper, a computer program was developed in MATLAB programming language and applied in the refurbishment of defective three-phase squirrel-cage induction motor using the computer-aided design technique/approach. The MATLAB programming language and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) analysis adopted aided the fast computation and convergence of a output result from the developed program that was used in the practical refurbishment of a defective 48-slot 3-phase squirrel-cage induction motor as well as the production of the entire stator winding. The result also revealed the motor as being a 4-pole type which lends itself easily to the lap winding pattern. The winding was practically developed using the program result data, installed, connected and tested. The speed realized from the post-refurbishment workshop test-running using the stroboscopic speed measuring instrument was 1500rpm. This was considered as good performance on no-load condition. The machine was allowed to run for about one hour during the workshop test-running without overheating. The computed output power was 20 kW. The estimated efficiency and power factor by CAD technique were 90 % and 0.9, respectively. These values were considered satisfactory.
