Abstract The objective of this work is to use PLA plastic matrices printed using the FDM additive manufacturing technique as an alternative to conventional sheet metal bending . In this way, the demand of the industry to obtain highly customised short series bent parts at [...]

Abstract: This work analyses the directional effect shown by the point clouds when digitizing with a conoscopic holography (CH) sensor. The asymmetric shape of the laser spot for this sensor yields that directionality appears along the greatest spot length and it occurs repeatedly under different [...]
