Journal ArticleDOI
Virtual assembly using virtual reality techniques
TL;DR: This paper presents a research effort aimed at creating a virtual assembly design environment that combines 3D computer graphics with advanced input and output devices for design for assembly.
Journal ArticleDOI
VADE: a Virtual Assembly Design Environment
TL;DR: The overall system, the important features, and examples of using VADE are described; the benefits and limitations of virtual assembly systems are discussed; and automated assembly planning systems are compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustainability Characterization for Additive Manufacturing.
TL;DR: A methodology for sustainability characterization of AM is proposed to serve as a resource for the community to benchmark AM processes for sustainability and help close the gaps for comparing AM performance to traditional manufacturing methods.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
