The material in this book is based on the assumption that new
manufacturing techniques offer potential benefits to
electromechanical designers, but that appropriate design systems
are necessary. The book describes a design paradigm, 'design by
composition', that facilitates design of integrated
electromechanical devices for fabrication with novel rapid
prototyping processes. New manufacturing techniques called layered
manufacturing, rapid prototyping, or Solid Freeform Fabrication
(SFF) build parts by a sequence of deposition and shaping
operations. These techniques allow a greater degree of
manufacturing automation, and offer new design possibilities. For
example, during SFF fabrication, the interior of parts is
accessible. Traditional manufacturing techniques, on the other
hand, generally of parts with complex internal geometry and
embedded components. The design by composition technique is
particularly well suited to design and fabrication of mechanical
parts with embedded electronic, sensor, and actuator components.The
highly integrated mechanisms that can be fabricated with the Shape
Deposition Manufacturing (SDM) process and the design by
composition approach can result in small robotic systems with
increased performance and reliability. The book describes some of
the new possibilities offered by SFF techniques, in particular the
SDM process, and how design by composition makes these capabilities
accessible to designers. The book presents the concept of design by
composition, as well as the theoretical development of algorithms
for its implementation. A prototype implementation is described, as
well as some example parts built at Stanford University with the
system.
