Proposal for a standardized test artifact for additive manufacturing machines and processes

August 15, 2012
Author(s)
Shawn P. Moylan, John A. Slotwinski, April L. Cooke, Kevin K. Jurrens, M A. Donmez
Historically, standardized test parts are used to quantitatively evaluate the performance of a machine or process. While several different additive manufacturing (AM) test parts have been developed in the past, there are no current standard test parts. We

A Review of Test Artifacts for Additive Manufacturing

May 24, 2012
Author(s)
Shawn P. Moylan, April L. Cooke, Kevin K. Jurrens, John A. Slotwinski, M A. Donmez
A standardized test part can be used to quantitatively evaluate the performance of a machine or process. This document reviews existing test artifacts used to characterize additive processes that are reported in the literature. Several aspects of the test

Material Modeling and Experimental Study of Serrated Chip Morphology

April 1, 2004
Author(s)
T Mabrouki, Laurent Deshayes, J F. Rigal, Kevin K. Jurrens, Robert W. Ivester
Machining chip morphology stems from mechanical, thermal, and chemical phenomena. Chip morphology prediction depends on a fundamental understanding of these phenomena and is industrially important for cutting force prediction and surface integrity control

Author(s)
Kevin K. Jurrens, Johannes A. Soons, Robert W. Ivester
This paper presents an overview of collaborative research activities conducted by staff of the Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology to address the enabling metrology and standards infrastructure needed

Intelligent Agents-Enabled Integrated Manufacturing Planning and Control

August 1, 2003
Author(s)
Shaw C. Feng, Keith A. Stouffer, Kevin K. Jurrens
agents provide a means to integrate various manufacturing software applications. The agents are typically executed in a computer-based collaborative environment, sometimes referred to as a multi-agent platform. The National Institute of Standards and

Representation of Heterogeneous Objects in ISO 10303 (STEP)

July 1, 2000
Author(s)
Lalit Patil, D Dutta, Amba D. Bhatt, Kevin K. Jurrens, Kevin W. Lyons, Mike Pratt, Ram D. Sriram
Solid modeling of objects forms an important task in design and manufacturing. Recent developments in the field of layered manufacturing have shown potential for the physical realization of heterogeneous (multi-material) objects. Thus, there is a need to

NIST's support of rapid prototyping standards

February 1, 1999
Author(s)
Kevin K. Jurrens
Recent activities and interactions with industry have suggested to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that formal standards for rapid prototyping could stimulate the growth and advancement of the technologies involved. Standards

Standards for the rapid prototyping industry

January 4, 1999
Author(s)
Kevin K. Jurrens
This paper proposes that development of formalized standards for the rapid prototyping (RP) industry will help enable the continued growth and further advancement of RP technologies. Appropriate standards can provide common methods for measuring the

Evaluating the Performance of Rapid Prototyping/Rapid Manufacturing Systems

September 28, 1998
Author(s)
Richard L. Rhorer, Kevin K. Jurrens, Bradley N. Damazo
A method of fabricating and measuring simple part shapes to evaluate the performance of Rapid Prototyping (RP) systems is proposed in this report. These test shapes would include cylinders, rectangular bricks, cones, and other basic shapes. We propose a
