โฆ Synopsis
A transient three-dimensional finite element model is developed to simulate the phase transformation during the selective laser sintering process; taking into account the thermal and sintering phenomena involved in this process. A bi-level structure integration procedure is chosen, in which the temperature dependent thermal conductivity, specific heat, and density are integrated at the outer level then used as material constants for the integration of the heat equation in the inner level. Results for temperature and density distribution, using a polycarbonate powder, are presented and discussed.

In the past the time domain solution of the wave equation has been limited to simplified problems. This was due to the limitations of analytical methods and the capacity of computers to manipulate and store 'large' blocks of spatial information. With the advent of 'super computers' the ability to so
