Arburg Automated Design
Project title
Industry project: „Kinematic design additive manufacturing"
Goal
Development of algorithms for process-specific design for droplet based additive manufacturing
Contact
Dr. Irlinger
Application
Automated generation of surface models (STL) and slicing preparation to solve kinematic problems with droplet based additive manufacturing.
Research topic
Automated design for additive Manufacturing / Multi material design / Kinematic Synthesis / Mechanisms
State of the art
Design on the base of expert knowledge in CAD Environments. Conversion of CSG models to Brep models and manual choice of the part orientation and slicing parameters.
Drawbacks of the State of the Art
Time consuming workflow and limitation in the use of the capabilities of the fabrication technique.
Concept
MATLAB Library for direct generation of surface models for droplet based fabrication with multi material use.
Current Results
First toolbox version with functions for automated design of gripper jaws for parallel grippers with hard soft combination
