Preliminary investigation of CC process indicates that the process is feasible and has significant potential in construction automation approach of large objects. The process aims at automated construction of whole houses as well as sub-components. The potential of CC became evident from the initial investigations and experiments with various materials and geometries. Using this process, a single house or a colony of houses, each with possibly a different design, may be automatically constructed in a single run as shown on

Due to industrial advancement and environmental concerns, there is a demand for light-weight material parts with high-performance characteristics. In order to meet this demand, various studies have been conducted on developing high-performance castings to achieve composite features by coating only specific parts that require high performance, with dissimilar joining, rather than coating the entire material part. This study analyzed the possibility of forming a local composite layer on an aluminum alloy through evaporation pattern casting, and the effects of parameters on the aluminum alloy.

Photonic crystals, periodic structure with a high refractive index contrast modulation, have recently become very interesting platform for the manipulation of light. The existence of a photonic bandgap, a frequency range in which the propagation of light is prevented in all directions, makes photonic crystal very useful in application where the spatial localization of light is required, for example waveguide, beam splitter, and cavity. However, the fabrication of 3 dimensional photonic crystals is still difficult process. A concept that has recently attracted a lot of attention is a planar photonic crystal based on a dielectric membrane, suspended in the air and perforated with two dimensional lattice of hole. The fabrication of Si master with pillar structure using hot embossing process is investigated for two dimensional, low-index-contrast photonic crystal waveguide. From our research we show that the multiple stamp copy process proved to be feasible and useful.

The objective of our study is to investigate the micro fabric ability by conventional metal forming processes. In the present investigation, micro hole punching was studied. We tried to control punching process at the micro level and scaled down the standard blanking condition for $25{\mu}m$ hole fabrication. To accommodate this, tungsten carbide tooling sets and micro punching press were carefully designed and assembled meeting accuracy requirements for $25{\mu}m$ hole punching. With our developments, 100, 50, and $25{\mu}m$ holes were successfully made on metal foils such as brass and stainless steel of 100, 50, and $25{\mu}m$ in thickness, respectively, and hole sizes and shapes were measured and analyzed to investigate fabrication accuracy. Shear behavior during micro punching was also discussed. Our study showed that the conventional punching process could produce high quality holes down to $25{\mu}m$.

This paper relates to fabrication processing analysis of metal matrix composites by the injection of liquid metal into a fibrous preforms. One dimensional heat transfer analysis during squeeze infiltration process of aluminum base composites has been studied. An analysis method was investigated for the temperature distribution, infiltration velocity and melt infiltration characteristics with the commercial preform with short fiber array. When molten metal is infiltrated in a fibrous preform with random orientation, phase transformation will be occurred in a region such as molten metal, solidified region, preform region and infiltration composites region. a mathematical modelling for a solidification phenomena in fabrication process of metal matrix composites using a squeeze infiltration technique was investigated by the basic relations for liquid metal into a fibrous preform. The temperature distribution of theoretical results was compared with experimental data.

Sandwich structures, which are composed of a thick core between two faces, are commonly used in many engineering applications because they combine high stiffness and strength with low weight. Accordingly, the usage of sandwich structure is very widely applied to the aircraft, the automobile and marine industry, etc., because of these advantages. In this paper, we have investigated the buckling protection of an inner structure plate and the useful corrugated configuration for contact, and the fabrication method of the inner structure plate for large area using the continuous molding process. Also, we have guaranteed the accuracy of the molding process through the micro corrugated mold fabrication and secured the accuracy and analyzed aspect properties of the inner structure plate fabricated for a large area using the partial mold process.

This paper presents the fabrication and testing of a polysilicon piezoresistive accelerometer with p+ silicon diaphragm by simple process such as two step photolithography for the RIE process to form the cantilevers and a deep anisotropic etch process for the complete fabrication of the accelerometer. The fabricated accelerometer consists of a seismic mass and four cantilevers on which polysilicon piezoresistors are formed. The measurement of the output signal from the bridge circuit of the fabricated accelerometer is carried out with the HP 3582A spectrum analyzer. The analysis of the experimental result is showed in terms of the sensitivity and the resonant frequency. At atmospheric condition, the measurement values of the sensitivity and the resonant frequency are $11\;{\mu}V/Vg$ and 475 Hz, respectively.

Nanoscale fabrication of silicon substrate in an aqueous solution based on the use of atomic force microscopy was demonstrated. A specially designed cantilever with diamond tip, allowing the formation of damaged layer on silicon substrate easily by a simple scratching process (Tribo-Nanolithography, TNL), has been applied instead of conventional silicon cantilever for scanning. A slant nanostructure can be fabricated by a process in which a thin damaged layer rapidly forms in the substrate at the diamond tip-sample junction along scanning path of the tip and simultaneously the area uncovered with the damaged layer is being etched. This study demonstrates how the TNL parameters can affect the formation of damaged layer and the shape of 3-D structure, hence introducing a new process of AFM-based nanolithography in aqueous solution.

The purpose of this work was to investigate the design and fabrication process effects on electrical properties in high capacitance multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) with nickel electrode. Dielectric breakdown voltage and insulation resistance value were decreased with increasing stack layer number, but dielectric constant and capacitance were increased. With increasing green sheet thickness, dielectric breakdown voltage, C-V and I-V properties were also increased. The major reasons of the effects were thought to be the defects generated extrinsically during fabrication process and interfacial reactions formed between nickel electrode and dielectric layer. These investigations clearly showed the influence of both green sheet thick ness and stack layer number on the electrical properties in fabricating the MLCC.
