A novel design and manufacturing pipeline for Additive Manufacturing is presented. The architecture of the pipeline is motivated by the observation that the conventional pipeline is unnecessarily complex. Most of the time, only a small set of programming steps suffices for 3D design and manufacture. In particular, the proposed method requires no complex hardware or software, and it generates the geometric data on the fly. This is demonstrated using a simplified evaluation of general volumetric sweeps. The method side-steps many of the problems of the conventional Additive Manufacturing pipeline. Several scripts are provided that illustrate the capabilities and the advantages of the proposed approach. These scripts are processed on a single-board computer and the parts are manufactured on a Fused Filament Fabrication type of 3D printer.

Development of a new hesitant fuzzy ranking model for NTMP ranking problem ATALAY, KUMRU DİDEM; İÇ, YUSUF TANSEL; KEÇECİ, BARIŞ; YURDAKUL, MUSTAFA; Boran, Melis (2021-10-01) Nontraditional manufacturing processes (NTMPs) bring the processing capabilities such as machining high strength and hard materials with desired accuracies and surface finish to the manufacturing companies. Therefore, there has been a significant increase in the use and number of NTMPs. Hence, choosing a particular NTMP for a specific application turns out to be a complex decision-making problem, which involves conflicting qualitative and quantitative ranking criteria. In recent NTMP ranking literature, it ...
Design improvements on mixed flow pumps by means of computational fluid dynamics Özgen, Onur; Albayrak, Kahraman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006) The demand on high efficiency pumps leads the manufacturers to develop new design and manufacturing techniques for rotodynamic pumps. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software are started to be used during the design periods for this reason in order to validate the designs before the pumps are produced. However the integration process of CFD software into the design procedure should be made carefully in order to improve the designs. In this thesis, the CFD software is aimed to be integrated into the pump ...
Development of a scada control system for a weighing and bagging machine Aykaç, Emel Sinem; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010) In this thesis study, a prototype is designed in order to improve the weighing accuracy of the weighing and packaging machine that used in sugar factories. The unavoidable factory conditions cause weighing and packaging machine to do weighing errors. In order to correct these errors, the prototype produced in this study was designed as a quality control unit which will take the excess sugar and fill the deficient sugar in the sacks. Because of being small and having an easy installation, the application of ...
Development of postprocessor, simulation and verification software for a five-axis CNC milling machine Cengiz, Ender; Gökler, Mustafa İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005) Five-axis CNC milling machine tools bring great facility to produce complex workpieces with increased dimensional accuracy and better surface quality in shorter machining times. However, kinematics of five-axis machine tools has a complex form which makes it difficult to operate these machine tools properly. The difficulty arises from the complexity of NC-Code generation and tool path verification. Collision of machine tool or setup components with each other is a severe problem in five-axis machining opera...
Analysis and design for aluminum forging process Öztürk, Hüseyin; Gökler, Mustafa İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008) Aluminum forging products has been increasingly used in automotive and aerospace industry due to their lightness and strength. In this study, aluminum forging processes of a particular industrial part for the two different alloys (Al 7075 and Al 6061) have been analyzed. The forging part, forging process and the required dies have been designed according to the aluminum forging design parameters. The proposed process has been simulated by using the Finite Volume Method. In the simulations, analysis of the p...
