In this paper a systematic approach is proposed that evaluates the overall accuracy of a part. In this approach, by using the feature taxonomy, a part is decomposed into primitive features. Then, each feature is compared to the original CAD. Features are evaluated based on their size, form, orientation, and position. Laser scanning technique is used to collect a feature's data and its conversion into CAD data. To reduce data processing time for non-freeform features, manual digital dial indicators were customized and used for data collection. To process and evaluate the part's accuracy, statistical and CAD methods are applied. One benefit of the proposed hybrid system is that different errors can be differentiated and separated. In this study the manual method and statistical line fitting showed that, in addition to the surface quality deviation error, there was a trend error in the data; as the part got closer to the front right side of the printer it was steadily increasing. Further observations clarified that the trend error is caused by the build orientation; as the printer lays down a new layer of powder it drags the previous layer binder and powder from the back of the printer to the front of the printer.
This research focuses on the design optimization of the mechanical and electrical mechanisms, structure, and materials of an innovative apparatus capable centrifugal power-based of transferring power with a near-zero energy loss. In addition to mechanical and electrical system development, this study optimizes the product and improves the efficiency of the system so that it is lighter, costs less, wastes less energy, is easier to manufacture and assemble in low quantity and mass produce. The mechanism has many potential uses in lifting systems, drilling, and windmill mechanisms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
