Additive building process

Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) technologies have in common the capability to build objects with comphcated 3D geometries, directly from Computer-Aided Design (CAD) files, without the necessity of tooling. SFF technologies also have in common the employment of an additive building process, in which a 3D object is built up by the repeated addition of layers of material. This is in contrast to more standard technologies which are characterized by the implementation of a subtractive fabrication process, e.g., CNC (Computer Numerical Control), where the 3D object is manufactured by calculated removal of material from a block of raw material. 

In SFF technologies, the additive building process may be divided into two steps. In the first step, a software data file which contains a virtual representation of the desired 3D object is manipulated. This... 

Most solutions used in electrodeposition of metals and alloys contain one or more inorganic or organic additives that have specific functions in the deposition process. These additives affect deposition and crystal-building processes as adsorbates at the surface of the cathode. Thus, in this chapter we first describe adsorption and the factors that determine adsorbate-surface interaction. There are two sets of factors that determine adsorption substrate and adsorbate factors. Substrate factors include electron density, d-band location, and the shape of substrate electronic orbitals. Adsorbate factors include electronegativity and the shape of adsorbate orbitals. 

The surface smoothness of the machines in the machine building industry is of the order of a tenth part of a millimeter. Welded parts on such a machine must be processed as the welding may be 2 mm or more thick. To reduce this thickness to the lowest possible measure and to save electrodes and avoid additional machine processing of the welding, an experiment has been designed to model the influence of welding parameters on welding thickness. Factors and varia-... 

In addition, PolyJet uses at least two materials in the building process while SLA uses only one. This enables a smoother object surface and easy Support removal.

In many noncatalytic types a solid product builds up around the reacting core [for example, Na2S04(j) is deposited around the NaCl particles in the last illustration]. This introduces the additional physical processes of heat and mass transfer through a product layer around the solid reactant. A somewhat different form of noncatalytic gas-solid reaction is the regeneration of catalysts which have been deactivated by the deposition of a substance on the interior surface. The most common is the burning of carbon (with air) which has been gradually deposited on catalyst particles used in hydrocarbon reactions. Many of the physical and chemical steps involved here are. the same as those for gas-solid catalytic reactions. The chief difference is the transient nature of the noncatalytic reaction. This type of heterogeneous reaction will be considered in Chap. 14. 

Data manipulation software is an important component of data management systems. As well as a vital component of the build process of integrated data resources, they are used in their APIs and user interfaces. In addition, Web services and the workflow software provide a means of finking applications with data resources to create complex workflows. These workflows may be used by biologists as stand-alone analysis packages. Again, we present here a review of the most currently used packages rather than a comprehensive list. 

Ryan studied the rejection process during crystallisation (9). A wave of rejected additive builds up ahead of the growing spherulite as shovm in Figures 2 and 3. The shape of this wave depends on the diffusion coefficient of the additive and the growth rate of the spherulite and has been compared with computer simulations of the rejection. 

The former method is an additive manufacturing process that employs liquid resins and high-intensity light beams to build 3D microstructures, a technique widely used in rapid prototyping. The photo-induced cross-linking happens upon the exposure of the liquid resin. 

Once an amino acid is linked to an insoluble polymer, it can be converted to a dipeptide derivative that remains attached to the support while excess starting materials and the by-products of acylation can be removed simply by washing the peptidyl polymer with appropriately selected solvents. Partial deprotection is then carried out in a similar fashion and the dipeptide transformed into a tripeptide while the link between peptide and resin remains intact. In this way the chain can be lengthened until complete, without a single concentration or precipitation or transfer from one container into another. Only addition of reactants and repeated washings are necessary. At the conclusion of the chain building process the bond between peptide and polymer is cleaved and the peptide purified.
