Rapid prototyping refers to building three dimensional parts in a tool-less, layer by layer manner using the CAD geometry of the part. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is the name given to the application of rapid prototyping technologies to produce functional, end use items. Since AM is relatively new area of manufacturing processes, various processes are being developed and analyzed for their performance (mainly speed and accuracy). This paper deals with the design of a new benchmark part to analyze the flatness of parts produced on High Speed Sintering (HSS) which is a novel Additive Manufacturing process and is currently being developed at Loughborough University. The designed benchmark part comprised of various features such as cubes, holes, cylinders, spheres and cones on a flat base and the build material used for these parts was nylon 12 powder. Flatness and curvature of the base of these parts were measured using a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) and the results are discussed in relation to the operating parameters of the process.The result show changes in the flatness of part with the depth of part in the bed which is attributed to the thermal gradient within the build envelope during build.

Accuracy And Repeatability

Abstract Three-dimensional coordinate metrology has gained much attention in recent years. On one hand, the accuracy and repeatability of a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) are approaching the sub-micron level. On the other hand, there is hardly any part that exists of which the dimensions cannot be measured with a CMM. This paper presents the recent development and applications in three-dimensional coordinate metrology. The emphasis has been placed in the utilization of computers and integration with CAD/CAM systems. Three important technologies, namely, CAD-directed inspection, three-dimensional optimal match, and reverse engineering are presented and discussed. With computers and CAD/CAM support, three-dimensional coordinate metrology has become an active part of the computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM). Its versatility and high degree of automation have made the CMM a universal inspection machine for quality control of manufactured parts in computer integrated manufacturing.

Three Dimensional Coordinate

The purpose of this research was to develop a CAD/ CAM system for soft objects such as the human hand. In this article are described the various steps in this process, including digitization of the shape by automatic measurement of the object shape processing such as shape interpolation and correction, additional shape processing, motion simulation for the digitized soft model, and reproduction of the shape as a positive model. As an example, we established a method for making a new cosmetic hand that could meet the necessary requirements of shape and functionality. For the shape, we measured the natural hand of a disabled person automatically with a three-dimensional coordinate measuring machine, performed data processing, and produced a positive model for the cosmetic hand. For functionality, we simulated the change of surface shape caused by finger motion using the shape of the measured hand, and then developed the inside mechanism of the cosmetic hand. This article describes the system developed for application to the cosmetic hand.

Modelling And Optimization

This article proposes a modified sequential multilateration method for measuring three-dimensional coordinates. The measuring system consists of a single laser tracker and four relay targets whose relative positions have been pre-calibrated by the multilateration method. The laser tracker is fixed on three prescribed positions successively, and these positions can be calibrated by using the distances between the laser tracker and the four relay targets based on the multilateration principle. Subsequently, the three-dimensional coordinates of each under-test point can be determined by the three laser trackers’ positions based on the trilateration principle. This method is more flexible than previous multilateration methods for three-dimensional coordinate collection, especially if the measurement space is partially covered by other objects. The mathematical model of this method is established. Based on the Monte Carlo method, a series of computer simulations are performed to optimize the system arrangement by investigating the performances of the measuring system with different system arrangement, and an optimal system arrangement is finally obtained. Practical measurement is also conducted to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method by comparing with a reference coordinate measuring machine.
