A Review of Additive Manufacturing
Kaufui V. Wong,Aldo Hernandez +1 more
TL;DR: Additive manufacturing processes take the information from a computer-aided design (CAD) file that is later converted to a stereolithography (STL) file as discussed by the authors.

4D printing and stimuli-responsive materials in biomedical aspects
TL;DR: The significance of 4D printing in biomedical applications is demonstrated, in which "time" has been incorporated into the conventional concept of 3D printing as the 4th dimension.

An adaptive process planning approach of rapid prototyping and manufacturing
Guoqing Jin,Weidong Li,Liang Gao +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an adaptive approach to improve the process planning of Rapid Prototyping/manufacturing (RP/M) for complex product models such as biomedical models was presented, where NURBS curves were introduced to represent the boundary contours of the sliced layers in RP/M to maintain the geometrical accuracy of the original models.

Decimation of triangle meshes
TL;DR: An application independent algorithm that uses local operations on geometry and topology to reduce the number of triangles in a triangle mesh and results from two different geometric modeling applications illustrate the strengths of the algorithm.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Implicit fairing of irregular meshes using diffusion and curvature flow
TL;DR: Methods to rapidly remove rough features from irregularly triangulated data intended to portray a smooth surface are developed and it is proved that these curvature and Laplacian operators have several mathematically-desirable qualities that improve the appearance of the resulting surface.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Mesh optimization
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method for solving the following problem: given a set of data points scattered in three dimensions and an initial triangular mesh M0, produce a mesh M, of the same topological type as M0 that fits the data well and has a small number of vertices.
