Yi, Ran (author), Wu, Chenming (author), Liu, Yong-Jin (author), He, Ying (author), Wang, C.C. (author)This paper presents a 3-D printing system that uses a low-cost off-the-shelf consumer projector to fabricate large models. Compared with traditional digital light processing (DLP) 3-D printers using a single vertical carriage, the platform of our DLP 3-D printer using delta mechanism can also move horizontally in the plane. We show that this...journal article 2018

Li, Mengxia (author), Mou, Junmin (author), Liu, Rongfang (author), Chen, P. (author), Dong, Zhuojian (author), He, Yixiong (author)Following the growth in global trade activities, vessel traffic has increased dramatically in some busy waterways and ports. However, such increments have made it more complex to manage the regional vessel traffic, which can increase the risk of an accident in the area. To model and analyze the relationship between vessel traffic and maritime...journal article 2019
