This study aims to compare in-vitro the fitting accuracy of implant-supported metal frameworks used for full-arch orthodontic restoration. The hypotheses tested were as follows: (1) for a fixed implant morphology, strains developed within the framework depend on how the framework had been fabricated and (2) stresses transferred to the implant–bone interface are related to the amount of framework misfit. Metal frameworks were fabricated using four different manufacturing techniques: conventional lost-wax casting, resin cement luting, electrospark erosion, and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing milling. Each framework was instrumented with three strain gauges to measure strains developed because of prosthetic misfit, while quantitative photoelastic analysis was used to assess the effect of misfit at the implant–resin interface. All the tested frameworks presented stress polarization around the fixtures. After screw tightening, significantly greater strains were observed in the lost-wax superstructure, while the lowest strains were observed in the luted framework, demonstrating consistent adaptation and passive fitting. No significant difference in stress distribution and marginal fit was found for bars fabricated by either computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing or spark erosion. This study suggested that, in spite of known limitations of in-vitro testing, direct luting of mesostructures and abutments should be the first clinical option for the treatment of complete edentulism, ensuring consistent passive fitting and effective cost–benefit ratio.

Design And Manufacture

The timing scroll is an important feeding mechanism on packaging lines. As packaging line speeds have increased and the shape of containers has become more diverse, the techniques used for the design and manufacture of such timing scrolls have become critical for successful packaging line performance. Since 1980, various techniques have evolved to improve scroll design, manufacture and the associated line performance. In recent years, as CAD (computer aided design), CAM (computer aided manufacture) and CNC (computer numerical control) techniques have evolved, scroll design and manufacturing techniques began to be linked with computer techniques. In this paper, a scroll design and manufacturing package is presented which can be run on a minicomputer, such as a μ-VAX on an IBM PC clone. This scroll package can produce a timing scroll for any type of container with a correct pocket shape and good dynamic characteristic. Tests using carefully chosen containers have been made using this package and the results indicate that the scrolls obtained by this package have the correct pocket shape and good line performance. However, the design of a good pick-up geometry for some container shapes remains a problem.

consistentes e cada vez mais presentes nos campos de design e construção. A presença cada vez mais significativa dos sistemas de representação e fabricação com auxílio de computador (Computer Aided Design e Computer Aided Manufacturing) na concepção dos mais variados artefatos, tem sido um assunto muito discutido nos diversos campos da indústria criativa. Paralelamente à esta discussão, a introdução da abordagem projetual paramétrica tem uma grande importância na obtenção de novas perspectivas e inovação no design. Dessa forma, com o intuito de associar o potencial das ferramentas de prototipagem rápida e fabricação digital e de um sistema generativo de projeto, este artigo descreve o desenvolvimento de um projeto de mobiliário – um painel para exposição de objetos e organizador de ferramentas - através da documentação detalhada dos processos e procedimentos realizados para sua conclusão e desdobramentos acerca da mudança de paradigma no processo de projeto, condizente com a potencialidade dos recursos digitais. O texto do resumo deve ser escrito em Cambria tamanho 10, justificado, espaçamento simples, antes 0, depois 0. Deve possuir no máximo 200 palavras. O texto deve ser escrito em um único parágrafo e conter as informações principais do artigo como objetivos, resultados, métodos, etc.

Great emphasis has been attached to the achievement of productivity and producibility benefits through the application of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technologies. To ensure the achievement of these benefits, it is important that the end user have appropriate software and be able to use it to his advantage. The proper procurement, customization, installation, training, and implementation of software can play a significant role in the effectiveness of CAD/CAM.
