ReCoSoC 2016
11th International Symposium on Reconfigurable Communication-centric Systems-on-Chip (ReCoSoC 2016) Over the past decade ReCoSoC has established itself as a international reference event for research in the areas of reconfigurable and communication-centric systems-on-chip. Its informal and dynamic philosophy encourages technical and scientific interactions of both academic and industrial participants through presentations and special sessions reporting latest advances in the related areas.

Abstract: Cyber-physical additive layer manufacturing, e.g. 3D printing has become a promising technology for providing cost, time, and space effective solution by reducing the gap between the designers and the manufacturers. However, the concern for the protection of intellectual property is arising in conjunction with the capabilities of supporting massive innovative designs and rapid prototyping.

Abstract: The overarching goal of this project is to develop a novel cyberphysical platform for fast and efficient, fully digital, 3-dimensional, 5-axis machining. Proposed methodology is inspired by 3D printing, which is easy to program but limited in terms of the materials that can be used, the finishing quality that can be achieved, and relatively slow printing speeds. By contrast, CNC milling can address these limitations.

This grant provides funding for the formulation of a data model, and trajectory planning platform and methodology to execute a fully digital 3D, 5-axis machining capability. Research will be performed on methods for utilizing multiple Graphical Processor Units (GPUs), which are readily available, parallel digital processing hardware, in these calculations. The methodology will be implemented in the context of an existing advanced computational framework that has tools for voxelization, variable resolution digital modeling, and parallel computing, integrating the fields of manufacturing and computer science. Experiments involving 5-axis machining will be executed to validate the methodology. Components will be machined and inspected on a coordinate measurement machine to verify that the target geometry has been achieved. If successful, this work will bring classical subtractive manufacturing back into the arsenal of rapid prototyping, providing users of typical CNC machine tools with the ability to rapidly determine if a part can be produced on a specific machine and machine the part. Having such a design and analysis tool will help to reduce the cost, improve the quality and allow rapid deployment of new innovations in components that require machining. This work will contribute to variable resolution digital representations to be employed in next generation digital manufacturing systems. It will also combine state-of-the-art concepts in computing and manufacturing to realize a completely new a cyber-physical approach to manufacturing.
