...-by-layer using additive manufacturing (AM) processes. In pursuit of this goal, the objective of this work is to develop and verify a graph theory-based approach for predicting the temperature distribution in metal AM parts. This objective is consequential to overcome the current poor process consistency...

... on the arrangement of the machine structure. We employ graph theory to systematically enumerate different structural configurations and then assign each of the motions identified above to different “entities” within a preferred structural configuration before selecting the final configuration. These motions...
