  • OPTIMAL DIMENSIONAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF LASER SINTERED HARDWARE BY THERMAL ANALYSIS AND PARAMETER OPTIMIZATION
    Publication number: 20090326706
    Abstract: A process of for creating process build parameters includes creating a set of process build parameters for laser-sintering of a part based on a thermal model of a parts bed of a laser sintering machine and empirical data from prior laser-sintered parts built in the parts bed.

  • Optimal dimensional and mechanical properties of laser sintered hardware by thermal analysis and parameter optimization
    Publication number: 20040254665
    Abstract: A method for improving production parts produced from a rapid prototyping machine that includes the step of generating a build run that produces output components having production parts and/or iterative improvement specimens. A comparison of the production parts and/or iterative improvement specimens is made to a set of input data that includes dimensions and material characteristics. The comparison produces a resultant data set that includes deviations between the input data and the output components. Build parameters are then tailored for the rapid prototyping machine to reduce deviations between the input data and the output components as compared to previous build runs.
