With the rapid development of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology, the demand for
batch printing is increasing, whose central issue is the printing layout. In order to solve the …

Additive manufacturing (AM) technology uses the layer-by-layer stacking method to print
parts, which simplifies the process of complex parts. The requirements for batch printing in …

Purpose This paper aims to introduce a new nesting scheme to better describe and solve
the single-layer-part packing problem in additive manufacturing (AM). Design/methodology …

Significant savings in cost and time can be achieved in additive processes by manufacturing
multiple parts in a single setup to obtain efficient machine volume utilization. In this paper …

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a process that directly fabricates three-dimensional (3D)
components by depositing material layer over layer based on information from a 3D …

To achieve optimal and high-quality results through additive manufacturing, the process-and
technology-specific orientation and positioning of components within the virtual space, the …

Purpose In the newly released ASTM standard specification for additive manufacturing file
(AMF) format–version 1.1–Hermite curve-based interpolation is used to refine input triangles …

Additive Manufacturing (AM) incorporates a group of processes which utilize a layer-based
material deposition approach to manufacture parts. These processes are now widely used in …

ABSTRACT Direct Energy Deposition (DED) is one of the Metal Additive Manufacturing
processes, which can be used to print near-net shapes and repair volumes using five-axis …

This paper proposes a 3D nesting algorithm which combines the flower pollination algorithm
(FPA) with the oriented bounding box (OBB) collision detection to solve the 3D packing of …
