Bamboo is a sustainable and environmentally friendly material that has the potential to improve the global decline of natural resources. Bamboo is one of the popular flora in Southeast Asia; it is also traditional plants that grow abundantly in Vietnamese villages from north to south. Its ability can replace some kinds of wood in decoration and household goods. Bamboo grows up rapidly and can be harvested within 3 to 5 years of planting, in the meanwhile, the harvesting time of other hardwood trees must be from 8 to 10 years or longer. The inherent characteristics of bamboo are lighter than other wood materials and have a value in social and environmental benefits. Its advances in manufacturing technology have created high-value products such as bamboo flooring and bamboo furniture that can substitute for wood flooring and wood furniture. According to the biology studies, the bamboo has the characteristics that can replace the natural wood, but the direction of development from the stage of cultivation to the stage of finished products has not been exploited thoroughly. The production of bamboo plywood will become a great potential for the bamboo plywood industry in Vietnam. Generally, the fabrication of bamboo plywood depends on the following processes such as cutting, grinding to powder or pulp, drying, and pressing processes. In cutting and grinding processes, the trivial remains of bamboo after use, shoots… can be chopped and ground to a powder that is dried and pressed into bamboo plywood by a specialized machine similar to the production of artificial wood particleboard (PB). The aim of this paper is a representation of a design, computing the structure of a version of a bamboo grinding machine that is sustainable, responds to technical requirements, and protection of the environment. The result of the design was applied for manufacture a typical bamboo machine in the CAD-CAM workshop of DCSELAB in the framework of a project between DCSELAB and PhuAn Village Corporation that has evaluated with satisfaction the real proof of the design. The machine has been in the session of initial testing and exploitation.

Bamboo plywood presses play an important role in the production of bamboo plywood in the industry. The machine has the function of pressing bamboo powder, and binder has been mixed from the front to the bamboo plank to meet the technical requirements. This article presents a design of bamboo plywood pressing machine that combines the heating function for the blocking board and keeps that temperature during the pressing process to create a suitable size bamboo plywood according to customer requirements. The simulation results show that the complete bamboo plywood-pressing machine is appropriate and authentic to the initial design. The result of the design was applied to manufacture the machine in DCSELAB workshop via a collaboration project between Langtre PhuAn company and the DCSELAB. The system is installed a resistance flat plate capacity of 1KW, and 2 resistors flat plate with the capacity of 0.8KW. The first manufactured machine is now in the initial working session in Langtre Villige, Binh Duong province. The initial experimental products were accepted by the partner company, and we have recommended some measures to ameliorate time by time the quality as well as the productivity of the machine. There is really not yet an official statistic on the comparison with the products of a similar machine, and we are attending the response of the customers.

Sustainability is increasingly recognized as a key innovation capability in the organization. However, it is not always evident for manufacturers how sustainability targets shall be “mixed and matched” with more traditional objectives—such as quality, time, cost, and performances—when designing and developing solutions. The emergence of “servitization” and product-service systems (PSS) further emphasizes the need for making thoughtful trade-offs between technical aspects, business strategies, and environmental benefits of a design. The objective of this paper is to investigate how multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) models shall be applied to down-select PSS concepts from a value perspective, by considering sustainability as one of the attributes of a design contributing to the overall value of a solution. Emerging from the findings of a multiple case study in the aerospace and construction sector, the paper presents a five-step iterative process to support decision making for sustainable PSS design, which was further applied to design an electrical load carrier. The findings show that the proposed approach creates a “hub” where argumentations related to “value” and “sustainability” of PSS solution concepts can be systematically captured in a way that supports the discussion on the appropriate quantification strategy.

Research work is aimed at modeling the process of milling surfaces of complex shape in automated CAD/CAM systems. To reduce labour input of this process, an algorithm for designing milling operations is proposed. The algorithm is implemented in the form of software written in the VBA programming language from Office Excel. The software allows to select cutting tools and cutting modes for roughing, semi-finishing and finishing milling. The initial data for this are: processed material, part configuration, profile depth, technical requirements on the surface. The work of the algorithm was tested on the parts of the mold type. It is found that the set of cutting tools for all types of milling surfaces of complex shape is selected taking into account the overall dimensions of the treated surface, its curvature and radii of surfaces rounding. The results of simulation of mold processing in Sprut CAM system according to the assigned set of cutting tools and cutting modes allowed to choose the tool path with minimal processing time.

This paper, and the paper which follows it, were first presented at the IBC '98 Conference ‘Space-Based Navigation Industry’, which was held in London, 11–12 June 1998.In conventional arable agriculture, position within the field was usually irrelevant! However, the advent of precision agriculture, wherein inputs are targeted according to locally-determined requirements within the field, has opened up a potentially large market for GPS. Indeed, it was the availability of GPS which permitted the development and implementation of precision agriculture – a concept which holds the promise of significant economic and environmental benefits to the farmer. This paper indicates the technical requirements for GPS and presents three case studies where a positioning system is required.

Owning to the ultra high feed rate and spindle speed, tool path patterns which are less important in conventional metal cutting processes becomes critical in High Speed Machining (HSM). Without an appropriate tool path strategy HSM can not be fully implemented even though the CNC machine has HSM potentials. In practice attentions are usually drawn to advanced hardware components; tool path pattern catering to HSM is often overlooked. This paper introduces the principles of tool path generation for HSM. Essential properties of HSM and its technical requirements on the CAD/CAM system are summarized. The state-of-the-art technologies and practice-oriented tool path generation methodologies are presented.

Introduction. Modern implant systems have different types of connections between the implant and the abutment, in the area of which a microgap can be constructively formed, as a result of which dentists are faced with a loss of bone tissue and inflammatory processes in the area of dental implants. Objectives ― assessment of the accuracy of the marginal fit of an individual abutment to the implant platform on a sagittal slice. Methods. Two groups were formed according to the type of connection between the implant and the abutment (conical and planar). Individual abutments for all systems were made using CAD-CAM technology. Using the grinding machine Metaserv 25, sagittal sections of the abutment and implant were obtained. The study and cutting the compound was carried out on a TESCAN MIRA 3 autoemission electron microscope. Results. Using an electron microscope TESCAN MIRA 3, we obtained images of the surface of the connection of the abutment and the implant on a sagittal slice. When three-dimensional scanning of the studied samples were obtained volumetric images. Measurements of the microgap of the implant compound and abutment on the sagittal split showed that with an increase of x8000 in the first group with a conical connection, the figure varied from 0.27-3.46 microns. In the second group with a planar compound, the index varied from 6.50-9.70 microns. Conclusions. The ratio of the abutment to the implant with conical connections showed the best results in comparison with planar connections. Using CAD-CAM technology allows you to create prostheses with good marginal fit of the connection between the implant and the abutment.

The application of recycled aggregates (RA) from construction and demolition waste and crushed concrete blocks is a very important challenge for the coming years from the environmental point of view, in order to reduce the exploitation of natural resources. In Spain, the use of these recycled materials in the construction of road bases and sub-bases is growing significantly. However, presently, there are few studies focused on the properties and behavior of RA in civil works such as road sections or seaport platforms. In this work, two types of RA were studied and used in a complete real-scale application. Firstly, recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) were applied in the granular base layer under bituminous superficial layers, and secondly mixed recycled aggregates (MRA) which contain a mix of ceramic, asphalt, and concrete particles were applied in the granular subbase layer, under the base layer made with RCA. Both RA were applied in a port loading platform in Huelva, applying a 100% recycling rate. This civil engineering work complied with the technical requirements of the current Spanish legislation required for the use of conventional aggregates. The environmental benefits of this work have been very relevant, and it should encourage the application of MRA and RCA in civil engineering works such as port platforms in a much more extended way. This is the first and documented real-scale application of RA to completely build the base and sub-base of a platform in the Huelva Port, Spain, replacing 100% of natural aggregates with recycled ones.
