  • Robotic Immaterial Fabrication
    Rob | Arch 2012, 2020
    Co-Authors: Steven Keating, Neri Oxman
    Abstract:

    In this work a KUKA KR5 sixx R850 robotic arm was transformed into a novel multi-Fabrication platform capable of additive, subtractive, formative, and immaterial Fabrication processes. We define immaterial Fabrication as a novel class of Fabrication category where material properties are manipulated without direct mechanical forces to create design environments and objects. Design studies discussed in this paper include real-time light renders generated by dynamic control of light sources and annealed patterns created by manipulating heat fields. The paper focuses on the immaterial sensing and Fabrication processes developed, including volumetric scanning measurements of optical, thermal, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields and methods of spatial data output. In addition, the concept of informed Fabrication utilizing roboticallycontrolled environmental sensing to influence and inform Fabrication is discussed, explored, and demonstrated.

  • Compound Fabrication: A multi-functional robotic platform for digital design and Fabrication
    Robotics and Computer-integrated Manufacturing, 2013
    Co-Authors: Steven Keating, Neri Oxman
    Abstract:

    Supporting various applications of digital Fabrication and manufacturing, the industrial robot is typically assigned repetitive tasks for specific pre-programmed and singular applications. We propose a novel approach for robotic Fabrication and manufacturing entitled Compound Fabrication, supporting multi-functional and multi-material processes. This approach combines the major manufacturing technologies including additive, formative and subtractive Fabrication, as well as their parallel integration. A 6-axis robotic arm, repurposed as an integrated 3D printing, milling and sculpting platform, enables shifting between Fabrication modes and across scales using different end effectors. Promoting an integrated approach to robotic Fabrication, novel combination processes are demonstrated including 3D printing and milling Fabrication composites. In addition, novel robotic Fabrication processes are developed and evaluated, such as multi-axis plastic 3D printing, direct recycling 3D printing, and embedded printing. The benefits and limitations of the Compound Fabrication approach and its experimental platform are reviewed and discussed. Finally, contemplation regarding the future of multi-functional robotic Fabrication is offered, in the context of the experiments reviewed and demonstrated in this paper.

  • Materials and Processes for CAD/CAM Complete Denture Fabrication
    Current Oral Health Reports, 2016
    Co-Authors: Nadim Z. Baba
    Abstract:

    Purpose of ReviewThe motive of this article is to single out the materials and processes available for the Fabrication of CAD/CAM complete dentures.Recent FindingsCAD/CAM complete denture Fabrication has become accessible for complete dentures with a variety of techniques available for the Fabrication of the prostheses. The majority of the manufacturers use subtractive manufacturing for the Fabrication of their dentures while only one manufacturer proposes an additive technique. Several digital systems are available for the Fabrication of CAD/CAM dentures.SummaryThe integration of CAD/CAM technology into complete denture design and Fabrication helps improve the quality of the dentures and simplify the laboratory work. Time-consuming laboratory procedures are reduced or eliminated allowing the dental technician to ensure reproducible, efficient, and accurate prostheses.

  • method for manufacturing a monolithic led micro display on an active matrix panel using flip chip technology
    2013
    Co-Authors: Kei May Lau, Chi Wing Keung, Zhaojun Liu
    Abstract:

    A high-resolution, Active Matrix (AM) programmed monolithic Light Emitting Diode (LED) micro-array is fabricated using flip-chip technology. The Fabrication process includes Fabrications of an LED micro-array and an AM panel, and combining the resulting LED micro-array and AM panel using the flip-chip technology. The LED micro-array is grown and fabricated on a sapphire substrate and the AM panel can be fabricated using CMOS process. LED pixels in a same row share a common N-bus line that is connected to the ground of AM panel while p-electrodes of the LED pixels are electrically separated such that each p-electrode is independently connected to an output of drive circuits mounted on the AM panel. The LED micro-array is flip-chip bonded to the AM panel so that the AM panel controls the LED pixels individually and the LED pixels exhibit excellent emission uniformity. According to this constitution, incompatibility between the LED process and the CMOS process can be eliminated.
