Additive manufacturing: rapid prototyping comes of age

Open access
Campbell, Ian, Bourell, David, Gibson, Ian·2012·Rapid Prototyping Journal

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to provide a personalised view by the Editors of the Rapid Prototyping Journal. Design/methodology/approach: It collects their years of experience in a series of observations and experiences that can be considered as a snapshot of where this technology is today. Findings: Development of these technologies has progressed according to application, materials and how the designers have applied their creativity to such a unique manufacturing tool. Originality/value: The paper predicts how the future of additive manufacturing will look from the perspective of three key elements: applications, materials and design.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
