The different digital challenges related to Additive Manufacturing were addressed, with a focus on design and simulation, as well as the needed interoperability of the product development for Additive Manufacturing....

The outcomes of fp7 IP IQmulus (2012-2016) were presented and the follow up if the results on the marine results in the Norwegian ICT Pluss Project ANALYST (2017-2021) outlined. The main scientific focus of the presentation was the use of Locally Refined splines for compact representation and analys...

A set of bathymetry point clouds acquired by different measurement techniques at different times, having different accuracy and varying patterns of points, are approximated by an LR B-spline surface. The aim is to represent the sea bottom with good accuracy and at the same time reduce the data size ...

The challenges of geometric representation for Additive Manufacturing are many. Material properties can vary through the object and lattice structure and internal voids can be used to improve the product performance. State-of-the-art CAD-tools, are not well suited for Additive Manufacturing as they ...

The dominant CAD-tools today are based on boundary structures where a solid object is represented by the surfaces of the inner and outer hulls of an object. This is very efficient when designing for subtractive/abrasive manufacturing processes where the shape manufacture is produced by removing mate...

The first part of the talk addressed Additive Manufacturing (AM) from the perspective of manufacturing. Differences between AM, subtractive manufacturing and formative manufacturing were explained. The evolution of AM was outlined, fundamentals of AM explained including the formal definition of AM b...
