Additive manufacturing (AM), the process of joining materials to make objects from three-dimensional (3D) model data, usually layer by layer, is distinctly a different form and has many advantages over traditional processes. Commonly known as “3D printing,” AM provides cost-effective time-efficient way produce low-volume, customized products with complicated geometries advanced material properties functionality. As result 2013 National Science Foundation (NSF) Workshop on Frontiers...

Powder-bed fusion is a class of Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes that bond successive layers powder to facilitate the creation parts with complex geometries. As AM technology transitions from fabrication prototypes end-use parts, understanding properties needed reliably produce acceptable quality becomes critical. Consequently, this has led use characterisation techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, laser light diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and differential...

The common modeling of digital twins uses an information model to describe the physical machines. integration into productive cyber-physical cloud manufacturing (CPCM) systems imposes strong demands such as reducing overhead and saving resources. In this paper, we develop investigate a new method for building cloud-based (CBDT), which can be adapted CPCM platform. Our helps reduce computing resources in processing center efficient interactions between human users We introduce knowledge...

Bioactive glasses are promising materials for bone scaffolds due to their ability assist in tissue regeneration. When implanted vivo, bioactive can convert into hydroxyapatite, the main mineral constituent of human bone, and form a strong bond with surrounding tissues, thus providing an advantage over polymer scaffold materials. Bone fabrication using additive manufacturing techniques provide control pore interconnectivity during scaffold, which helps mimicking trabecular bone. 13-93 glass,...
