In the context of additive manufacturing we present a novel technique for direct slicing of a dilated or eroded volume, where the input volume boundary is a triangle mesh. Rather than computing a 3D model of the boundary of the dilated or eroded volume, our technique directly produces its slices. This leads to a computationally and memory efficient algorithm, which is embarrassingly parallel. Contours can be extracted under an arbitrary chord error, non-uniform dilation or erosion are also possible. Finally, the scheme is simple and robust to implement.

Toolpath planning is an important task in laser aided additive manufacturing (LAAM) and other direct energy deposition (DED) processes. The deposition toolpaths for complex geometries with slender structures can be further optimized by partitioning t
he sliced 2D layers into sub-regions, and enable the design of appropriate infill toolpaths for different sub-regions. However, reported approaches for 2D layer segmentation generally require manual operations that are tedious and time-consuming. To increase segmentation efficiency, this paper proposes an autonomous approach based on evolutional computation for 2D layer segmentation. The algorithm works in an identify-and-segment manner. Specifically, the largest quasi-quadrilateral is identified and segmented from the target layer iteratively. Results from case studies have validated the effectiveness and efficacy of the developed algorithm. To further improve its performance, a roughing-finishing strategy is proposed. Via multi-processing, the strategy can remarkably increase the solution variety without affecting solution quality and search time, thus providing great application potential in LAAM toolpath planning. To the best of the authors knowledge, this work is the first to address automatic 2D layer segmentation problem in LAAM process. Therefore, it may be a valuable supplement to the state of the art in this area.
Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques have gained interest in the tissue engineering field thanks to their versatility and unique possibilities of producing constructs with complex macroscopic geometries and defined patterns. Recently, composite mat
erials - namely heterogeneous biomaterials identified as continuous phase (matrix) and reinforcement (filler) - have been proposed as inks that can be processed by AM to obtain scaffolds with improved biomimetic and bioactive properties. Significant efforts have been dedicated to hydroxyapatite (HA)-reinforced composites, especially targeting bone tissue engineering, thanks to the chemical similarities of HA with respect to mineral components of native mineralized tissues. Here we review applications of AM techniques to process HA-reinforced composites and biocomposites for the production of scaffolds with biological matrices, including cellular tissues. The primary outcomes of recent investigations in terms of morphological, structural, and in vitro and in vivo biological properties of the materials are discussed. We classify the approaches based on the nature of the matrices employed to embed the HA reinforcements and produce the tissue substitutes and report a critical discussion on the presented state of the art as well as the future perspectives, to offer a comprehensive picture of the strategies investigated as well as challenges in this emerging field.
We develop a query answering system, where at the core of the work there is an idea of query answering by rewriting. For this purpose we extend the DL DL-Lite with the ability to support n-ary relations, obtaining the DL DLR-Lite, which is still poly
nomial in the size of the data. We devise a flexible way of mapping the conceptual level to the relational level, which provides the users an SQL-like query language over the conceptual schema. The rewriting technique adds value to conventional query answering techniques, allowing to formulate simpler queries, with the ability to infer additional information that was not stated explicitly in the user query. The formalization of the conceptual schema and the developed reasoning technique allow checking for consistency between the database and the conceptual schema, thus improving the trustiness of the information system.
In the industrial practice, additive manufacturing processes are often followed by post-processing operations such as subtractive machining, milling, etc. to achieve the desired surface quality and dimensional accuracy. Hence, a given part must be 3D
printed with extra material to enable such finishing phase. This combined additive/subtractive technique can be optimized to reduce manufacturing costs by saving printing time and reducing material and energy usage. In this work, a numerical methodology based on parametric shape optimization is proposed for optimizing the thickness of the extra material, allowing for minimal machining operations while ensuring the finishing requirements. Moreover, the proposed approach is complemented by a novel algorithm for generating inner structures leading to reduced distortion and improved weight reduction. The computational effort induced by classical constrained optimization methods is alleviated by replacing both the objective and constraint functions by their sparse-grid surrogates. Numerical results showcase the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
A thick electrode with high areal capacity has been developed as a strategy for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries, but thick electrodes have difficulties in manufacturing and limitations in ion transport. Here, we reported a new manufacturing
approach for ultra-thick electrode with aligned structure, called structure electrode additive manufacturing or SEAM, which aligns active materials to the through-thicknesses direction of electrodes using shear flow and a designed printing path. The ultra-thick electrodes with high loading of active materials, low tortuous structure, and good structure stability resulting from a simple and scalable SEAM lead to rapid ion transport and fast electrolyte infusion, delivering a higher areal capacity than slurry-casted thick electrodes. SEAM shows strengths in design flexibility and scalability, which allows the production of practical high energy/power density structure electrodes.
