Abstract Scope |
Inherent to 2-1/2 axis deposition in Solid Freeform Fabrication is Staircase effect. The surface geometry of parts produced using Solid Freeform Fabrication, therefore is not smooth. Continuous sculpting is a novel method that combines additive manufacturing to surface modification by relative motion of a forming tool. Molten material is added to substrate. The forming tool can tilt along different axe is connected to the end effector. The forming tool is oriented along a desired angle and then applies force on the molten material to give it desired shape on the fly. This paper introduces the novel method and few simple case studies. |
