Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Rapid Thermoform Tooling Via Additive Manufacturing (3d Printing)Gene Haeberle, Salil DesaiAdditive Manufacturing (AM) has matured from a prototyping tool to a soft production tooling in recent years. This research elaborates the role of AM technology (3D printing) in the design, prototyping and development of a rapid thermoform tooling. The Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printer was implemented to fabricate thermoform tooling in Polypropylene Styrofoam (PPSF). We contrast the additively manufactured … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 8 · 9 Oct 2019 · 9,410 accessesView PDF Cite

Technical ReportOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Magnetic Wheel Adhesion Force for Climbing RobotHaydn Welch, Shyamal MondalThis paper describes the aim of designing, building and testing magnetic wheel based an autonomous climbing robot, for use in conjunction with Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) inspection on vertical towers. Through extensive review of previous generations of climbing robot, a hybrid wheel and permanent magnetic adhesion system has been designed and discussed in this paper. Using mathematical modelling and Finite Element … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Aug 2019 · 8,283 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSTUDY OF DYNAMIC MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF FUSED DEPOSITION MODELLING PROCESSED ULTEM MATERIALAdhiyamaan Arivazhagan, Ammar Saleem, S. H. Masood et al.Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM), a renowned Rapid Prototyping (RP) process, has been successfully implemented in several industries to fabricate concept models and prototypes for rapid manufacturing. This study furnishes terse notes about the material damping properties of FDM made ULTEM samples considering the effect of FDM process parameters. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) is carried out using DMA 2980 equipment to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 19 Aug 2014 · 8,642 accessesView PDF Cite
