“…As an example, Das et al 46 presented an innovative process for the dispersion of graphene nano‐particles and nickel spheres in the A356 aluminum alloy by the pressure infiltration technique. One of these methods is additive manufacturing, 45,47 which would spread in the near future, more and more.…”

Aluminum‐silicon alloys have been widely used in automotive industries. To know mechanical properties of such materials is essential for engineers to have a superior design for components. Therefore, in this article, the sensitivity analysis of mechanical and fracture features in the aluminum alloy has been performed to find the effect of the loading rate and nano‐particles. For this objective, tensile tests were performed on casting standard specimens. Then, obtained experimental data were analyzed by the Minitab software, using the factorial method. In addition, the interaction between the effect of the loading rate and the addition of nano‐particles, on mechanical properties and ductile/brittle behaviors, was also investigated. Obtained results indicated that the yield stress, the elastic modulus and the elongation were sensitive to the interaction of both factors (the multiply of the nano‐particle addition and the loading rate). Besides, the fracture surface illustrated that by increasing the loading rate and the addition of nano‐particles, the brittleness of the material increased.

“…Full-color 3D printing technology has become the trend of additive manufacturing, 1 which has big demand in education, art, manufacturing, construction, and other fields. [2][3][4][5] The traditional 3D printing process only focuses on discretizing a 3D model into two-dimensional slices and ignores the multi-color and multi-material nature of a 3D model. 6,7 This does not meet the development requirements of color 3D printing.…”

Full‐color 3D printing technology has become more and more popular for industrial manufacturing applications. The voxelization of color 3D models and the expression of appearance colors become more and more important. To illustrate the complex appearance and internal characteristics of 3D models, we present a voxelization algorithm of the color 3D models for color 3D printing in this paper. Specifically, we use the 3D model of 3D Manufacturing Format (3MF) with color appearance features for surface voxelization first. Then, we propose an improved scan line filling algorithm to realize the voxelization of the interior of the model and obtain the color voxel model. Finally, to improve the high quality of color printing, we propose a surface color inward diffusion algorithm, which can make the surface color of the voxel model diffuse inward and further express the surface color of the voxel model. The experimental results show our proposed method can obtain an effective color voxel model and accurately express the color of the voxel model surface, which can enhance the color effect of the color model and realize the control of voxels.
