Author(s)
Shaw C. Feng, Paul Witherell, Albert T. Jones, Tesfaye Moges, Hyunseop Park, Mostafa Yakout, Hyunwoong Ko
Additive manufacturing (AM) is rapidly transitioning to an accepted production technology. This transition has led to increasing demands on data analysis and software tools. Advances in data acquisition and analysis are being propelled by an increase in

SCAP Composer User Guide

May 16, 2022
Author(s)
Joshua Lubell
SCAP Composer is a software application from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for creating Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP – pronounced "ess-cap") source data stream collections. A source data stream collection is a

Refocusing the Barriers to Sustainability for Small and Medium Manufacturers

February 14, 2022
Author(s)
Xavier R. Escoto, Demsas Gebrehewot, KC Morris
Sustainable manufacturing practices are a necessary component of sustainable development. Current practices in a linear economy—produce, consume, discard—will not be sufficient to sustain humanity over the long term. At the same time manufacturing is

Visualizing Standardized Model-based Design and Inspection Data in Augmented Reality

February 7, 2022
Author(s)
Teodor Vernica, Robert R. Lipman, Thomas Kramer, Soonjo Kwon, William Z. Bernstein
Augmented reality (AR) technologies present immense potential for the design and manufacturing communities. However, coordinating traditional engineering data representations into AR systems without loss of context and information remains a challenge. A

Using Simulation and Digital Twins to Innovate: Are We Getting Smarter?

December 15, 2021
Author(s)
Simon Taylor, Bjorn Johansson, Sumin Jeon, Loo Hay Lee, Peter Lendermann, Guodong Shao
Digital Twins have recently emerged as a major new area of innovation. Digital Twins are often found at the core of "smart" solutions that have also emerged as major areas of innovation. Modeling and Simulation (M&S) approaches create a model of a real

Quantifying Machining Process Inventories In Detailed Design

August 24, 2021
Author(s)
William Z. Bernstein, Till Boettjer, Deverajan Ramanujan
This paper quantifies machining process inventories based on commonly used techniques in various stages of the detailed design process. We investigate variabilities in process inventories between these techniques and their relation to manufacturing process
