Advances in additive manufacturing over the last three decades has enabled an evolution in their use from rapid prototyping to the production of final products through direct digital manufacturing. As direct digital manufacturing facilitates the production of products directly from their digital model using additive manufacturing equipment, it carries a huge potential to change not only today’s manufacturing but also supply chains. Recently, managing sustainable supply chains to respond to increasing pressures of various stakeholders to incorporate environmental and social aspects has been challenging for both the industry and academia. In this study, we provide an overview of sustainability implications of direct digital manufacturing through the lenses of sustainable supply chain management

Effect of annealing on the mechanical properties of pla parts produced by fused filament fabrication Aydın, Sencer; Özerinç, Sezer; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2021-9-01) Additive manufacturing has become a disruptive technology for the production of load bearing components in a wide range of applications. Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is among the most effective and economical techniques for the printing of polymeric parts. There are numerous thermoplastic materials suitable for FFF. Among these, Polylactic acid (PLA) is a renewable, sustainable and cost-effective alternative. For better utilization of PLA parts produced by FFF, there is a need to understand the structur...
Computation of supervisors for reconfigurable machine tools Schmidt, Klaus Verner (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-06-01) The rapid reconfiguration of manufacturing systems is an important issue in today's manufacturing technology in order to adjust the production to varying product demands and types. In this paper, we study the control of reconfigurable machine tools (RMTs) with the aim of fast reconfiguration and an easy controller implementation. We first formulate a particular reconfiguration problem for RMTs in a discrete event system setting, and then provide a necessary and sufficient condition for its solution. Moreove...

Multi-axis 3D printing of spiral parts without support structures Fazla, Bartu; Dilberoğlu, Mecid Uğur; Yaman, Ulaş; Dölen, Melik (2021-11-01) The recent developments in Additive Manufacturing (AM) have accelerated the spread of 3D printers all over the world. Fused filament fabrication (FFF) has become the prevalent technology for use in printing typical thermoplastics. Sometimes, the nature of layer-wise production brings about the necessity of using support structures, leading to (i) increased material consumption, (ii) reduced production speed, (iii) deterioration in the part quality, and (iv) extra post-processing. To eliminate these shortcom...
