Development of a non-destructive testing method to determine the tensile fatigue life of Ti-6Al-4V additively manufactured parts
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)
Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) is a powder bed fusion (PBF) technology used for additive manufacturing (AM). This process deploys a laser to selectively fuse regions of a powder bed. The manufacturing of a part is ...
Efficacy of the distortion compensation method for Selective Laser Melting specimens
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2022)
As industry 4.0 has gained momentum, the need for accurate, fast, and customizable component prototyping and fabrication has risen drastically. Additive manufacturing provides the freedom and capability to fabricate complex ...
Viability of 3D fused filament fabrication for aerospace applications
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)
This study investigates the possible utilization of modern three-dimensional (3D) fused filament fabrication (FFF) in engineering applications. These FFF machines use filament that are usually made from PLA or ABS, coiled ...
A maturity model to enhance the adoption of Additive Manufacturing in spare part provisioning in South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2022)
The fourth industrial revolution (4IR) demands a significant change in the way businesses operate.
The previous three industrial revolutions were initiated from the market and demanded that
organisations adopt to the ...
