Remanufacturing

The uncompetitive qualities of the AM-fabricated metal parts limit the wide industrial applications of AM processes. The results from the proposed research will help to establish an efficient and effective process for additive manufacturing and remanufacturing of metal parts with significantly improved qualities. Specifically, the proposed research will provide an engineering solution to reduce or eliminate uncertainties and common defects in LENS additive manufacturing of metal materials by integrating

manufacturer of printing and imaging equipment, has to evaluate a proposal from its Mexican subsidiary to purchase and install a new cost-saving machinery at a manufacturing facility in Monterrey. This new equipment will allow automating recycling and remanufacturing of toner and printer cartridges, and would have a useful life of 10 years. To analyze the investment proposal, Group Ariel needs to conduct a DCF analysis and run an estimate for the Net Present Value (NPV) for capital

landfills, but also decreases the need to extract and process virgin materials from the earth. Recycle can help and improve the environment. Recycling is the process of taking something that was used by a consumer or post-industrial user and remanufacturing it into something new again stated in Wakegov.com. Recycling began as early as the medieval times when metal pots and broken swords were melted down to make new ones. There are a lot of reasons why it’s important for us to recycle. Recycling has

Various researches have RC as the sub-set of reverse logistic which according to Govindan et al. (2015), is to manage used products and packaging from customers such as recycling, repairing, remanufacturing and disposing. RCs, such as pallets, crates and barrels, are secondary packaging that are used for packaging products and are returned for future usage. Synonyms for the term are returnable container (such as Kroon and Vrijens (1995), Hanebeck et al. (2008) and Reza et al. (2011)), returnable
