In fact, much of the progress in civilization can be attributed to progress in discrete product manufacture. The functionality of a discrete object depends on two entities: form, and material composition. For instance, the aesthetic appearance of a sculpture depends upon its form whereas its durability depends upon the material composition. An ideal manufacturing process is one that is able to automatically generate any form (freeform) in any material. However, unfortunately, most traditional manufacturing processes are severely constrained on all these counts. There are three basic ways of creating form: conservative, subtractive, and additive. In the first approach, we take a material and apply the needed forces to deform it to the required shape, without either adding or removing material, i. e. , we conserve material. Many industrial processes such as forging, casting, sheet metal forming and extrusion emulate this approach. A problem with many of these approaches is | 出版日期 | Book 2004 | 关键词 | CNC; basics; creativity; laser; selective laser sintering | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4757-6361-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4419-5388-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4757-6361-4 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2004 |
