A DCAMM seminar will be presented by
Senior Researcher Sylvain Lefebvre

Abstract:
This seminar will focus on how to design shapes and plates that exhibit specific behaviors thanks to a precise control of their fabrication process. Specifically, by orienting the deposition trajectories of a fused filament 3D printer, we introduce anisotropies that impact the observed properties of the final object. In one case, the orientations trigger anisotropic deformations under heat, allowing a plate to take a target curved shape. In the second case, the changes in deposition orientation trigger an anisotropic light reflectance, creating brushed-metal effects on the surface of the 3D printed object. Both approaches rely on the optimization of oscillating fields, a topic we initially explored in the context of Computer Graphics, and that naturally evolved toward fabricating shapes with anisotropic structures.
Danish pastry, coffee and tea will be served 15 minutes before the seminar starts.
All interested persons are invited
