A three-dimensional mathematical model of growth, integrated with a new and effective algorithm for visibility checking, has been established based on a spray forming equipment with three different fixed atomizers in this paper. The model was used to predict the geometrical shape and the thickness profiles of the tubular deposit under various situations. By investigating and discussing the effects of different mandrel movement parameters and spray heights, the optimal atomizer of the equipment to fabricate a tubular preform was identified numerically.
