Additive manufacturing

The usage of Additive Manufacturing is rising with an increasing rate. Instead of molding, casting, or machining products and its parts out of the piece of metal or plastic, larger than product, with Additive Manufacturing they are “printed”. Printing done by devices that build up very thin layers of metal or plastic, where layers, used to produce an object, could be smaller than the diameter of a human hair (Dupin 2015). Additive Manufacturing (AM) and 3D printing are the two terms, which are used interchangeably. 3D printing is a quickly growing type of technology that dangers conventional manufacturing processes (Seally 2012). Moreover, according to Forrest and Cao (2013, 66) “additive manufacturing is as a key driver behind the on-going…

Most Americans think of manufacturing as something that happens very far away. They believe that it has nothing to do with them, they are simply the consumer of the end product. Three-dimensional (3D) printing is drastically different from all current models of production and it is starting to blur the line between consumers and producers (Finocchiaro). This new technology allows physical products to be printed as easily as words can be printed on a piece of paper and is rapidly becoming more…

3-D Printing Prosthetics by Cameron Norman There are between 10 and 15 million amputees in the world. People who go through the hardship of losing a limb go through an incredible amount of pain each day. Not only this, but attempting to get a prosthetic limb that may allow them to function as they used to, is not only a difficult, costly process but it also does not lessen the emotional pain of having to live without a limb. With 3D Printing becoming an increasingly popular new technology,…

Agenda of showing UC-win/Road software capability 1. Introduction  The latest version of UC-win/Road is 11.  To generate an interactive 3D virtual environment.  Application such as City planning, traffic simulations and construction demostrations.  Dynamic 3D spaces can be controlled in real time. Ability to view the surrounding lanscape; provide design and construction consultation  Allow visual examination of alternative project options; animation of vehicle movements and driving…

Animation is the process of making the vison of motion and the figment of change by different means such as, fast moving display of images that follow upon one another and that do only have small changes to them to form an animation. Animators are artists that specialize in the creation of animation. There are a few different creation methods in animation, Traditional animation, Stop-motion animation, Computer animation, 2D animation, 3D animation. Traditional animation (Cel Animation) - The…

1.0 Introduction: Digital Painting is a method of creating an art object (painting) digitally and/or a technique for making digital art in the computer. It adapts traditional painting mediums such as acrylic paint, oils, ink, watercolor, and so on. As a technique, it refers to a computer graphics software program that uses a virtual canvas and virtual painting box of brushes, colors and other supplies. The virtualbox contains many instruments that do not exist in the world, and which give a…

\chapter{Multiview Geometry} This chapter deals with the camera models, projection of scene into image plane and two view geometry. \section{Pin Hole Camera Model} A camera is a mapping between the 3D world (object space) and a 2D image. The principal camera of interest in this thesis is central projection. This describes about Pin Hole camera model which are matrices with particular properties that represent the camera mapping.\\ \begin{figure}[h] \includegraphics[scale =…

Case studies Many cases in the literature have utilized CT imaging to address bioarchaeological questions; however, predominately they focus on mummification studies, with only a few cases in reference to bone specifically. One such case was in the article Non-invasive Archaeology of Skeletal Material by CT scanning and Three-dimensional Reconstruction by Lynnerup et al. (1997). In this case the skeletal remains are of a very fragile and delicate 7000 year old ancient Sumerian skeleton that was…

The typeface I am picking is the Arial font. The Arial typeface was drawn in 1982 by designer Robin Nicholas and Patricia Saunders. It was original called Sonoran Sans Serif and was renamed Arial in 1992. Arial was made similar to the Helvetica font design, some say copying it for thickness and height. It started off as a bitmap font. The bitmap were high-resolution laser comp fonts that were used as a starting point to sample down give it a 240dpi or 300dpi font. Arial was original…

Additive manufacturing technology, more commonly known as 3D printing, is everywhere in the news! Innovations made possible by 3D printers are changing the world and propelling society into the future. With this technology, it is possible for anyone to make anything. 3D printers are ushering a new industrial age, but the current US patent system is restricting its potential. The Federal government of the United States is questioning the legality of additive manufacturing and considers it…
