Quantitative analysis on SLS part curling using EOS P700 machine (2012)
Journal Article

Selective laser sintering (SLS) is a thermal process and one of the main problems associated with it is "part curling". The aim of the work is to describe the degree of curling quantitatively and to provide suggestions to minimise the curl, thereby i...

Improving dimensional accuracy in the production of a CastForm^TM polystyrene pattern for investment casting (2010)
Journal Article

The focus of this paper was to analyse all stages of the CastForm™(CF) polystyrene pattern fabrication process, identify the reasons leading to poor dimensional accuracy, and outline techniques for its improvement. Rapid manufacturing of patterns for... Read More about Improving dimensional accuracy in the production of a CastForm^TM polystyrene pattern for investment casting.

Re-articulating the role of process design to support mass customisation: The case of rapid manufactured custom-made fixtures (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Whilst the fulfilment of customised production affects the whole product realisation chain involving product design, process design and supply chain design, our assessment of the literature observes comparatively little attention has been given to pr...
