"The aims of this paper is to study the advantages and disadvantages of laser micro-machining and the micro-milling. The final goal is to couple these processes in the same structure. The sequential hybrid process is subtractive-subtractive it combines the laser u-machining and the u-milling. The samples are machined with the two processes to compare the dimensional tolerance and the geometrical ...

"In this article, dimensional and geometrical performances of two Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) printers with Cartesian architecture (Ultimaker S3 and Intamsys FUNMAT HT) are compared using an original benchmark artifact design. Five parts were printed on each printer in ABS. Five other parts were also produced with the Ultimaker S3 in PLA to show the influence of material choice on the printer’s ...

Abstract : "Yttrium oxide tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP) is an inert bioceramic used for many bio-implantable applications that request a high accuracy which is difficult to achieve with the current technologies. Laser machining of hard ceramic is difficult because the interaction of the laser beam with the material can lead to microcracks and surface modifications of the microstructure. ...

Contribution to ESAFORM2021. Abstract : "When modelling a cutting operation, the constitutive model of the machined material is one of the key parameters to obtain accurate and realistic results. Up to now, the Johnson-Cook model is still the most used, even if an increasing number of models, such as the Hyperbolic TANgent (TANH) model, were introduced last years to overcome its limitations and ...

Abstract : "Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is an additive manufacturing technique with good precision and moderate tolerances. Utilizing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in literature is now key to studying the properties of these printed parts. The nature of the FDM process results in anisotropic inner structures with microscopic voids that are heavily affected by printing parameters. Even more so ...
