Morphing based approach for process planning for fabrication of geometries and the control of material composition

摘要

The inherent limitation of most of the solid freeform fabrication is the deposition in form of layers. Artificial imposition of the process for the desired geometric morphology and the functional gradience of material limits the accuracy of the workpiece. Mathematical morphing of geometry and the material gradience allows a smooth variation across the part geometry and the material composition of the part. The paper describes a framework for process planning and implementation of fabrication of geometries and control of the material composition. Simulation results for the suggested approach are described in the paper.
