Effect of Building Orientation on Additive Manufacturing

The building orientation affects the additive manufacturing processes in:

  • Generation of support
  • Building time and energy consumption
  • Surface roughness
  • Internal stress built up

Forms of Feedstock for Additive Manufacturing

The feedstock for additive manufacturing can be in the forms of:

  • Liquid
  • Solid (wire or sheet)
  • Powder

Purpose of Slicing for Additive Manufacturing

The slicing process is to obtain the geometry of 2D layer of a complex 3D part at different z locations.

Software Quality Assurance and Improvement Techniques

Problem-Solving Techniques

Several techniques can be used to identify and address quality issues in software development. These include:

  • Fishbone Diagrams: These diagrams, shaped like a fish skeleton, help identify potential causes of a quality problem. They typically categorize causes into four main areas: people, materials, methods, and timing.
  • Histograms: Histograms are bar charts that represent data frequency. They visually illustrate the shape, variation, and central tendency of the underlying

Meteorology and Communications for Safe Navigation

Meteorology

5.1 Importance of Time, Barometer

Weather directly affects wind and sea conditions, impacting vessel safety. Gathering weather information before sailing is crucial.

Atmospheric Pressure

Definition: Weight of air above Earth due to gravity.

Measurement: Millimeters (mm), inches, or millibars (mb).

Sea Level Pressure: 760 mm = 1013.2 mb = 1 atmosphere.

Barometer

Instrument for measuring atmospheric pressure. Types:

  • Mercury (not used in sailing)
  • Aneroid (uses expansion/contraction of tubes or capsules)
