Design by Composition for Layered Manufacturing
Outline
Layered Manufacturing: commercial example
Layered manufacturing processes
Shape Deposition Manufacturing (CMU/SU)
SDM#1: Injection mold tooling (SU RPL)
SDM #2: Frogman (CMU)
PPT Slide
Decomposition into ‘compacts” and layers
Definitions: Compact [Merz et al 94]
Layers produced by automatic decomposer for slider crank mechanism
Layered shape deposition - potential manufacturing problems
Design by Composition (M. Binnard)
Primitive = Compact Set + Precedence Graph
Merging Algorithm Example
Algorithm: intersection compacts
CPG Simplification algorithm
Algorithm closure and efficiency demonstrated for multi-material parts and embedded components (Binnard 99)
Implementation
Toward a mechanical MOSIS?
Future Work: Integration with Decomposition
Application: Small robots with embedded sensors and actuators
Robot leg example (http://cdr.stanford.edu/biomimetics)
Robot Leg: embedded parts
