Geometrical metrology for metal additive manufacturing

June 11, 2019
Author(s)
Richard Leach, David Bourell, Simone Carmignato, Alkan Donmez, Nicola Senin, Wim Dewulf
Metal additive manufacturing technologies facilitate the production of highly complex geometries - this presents designers with many opportunities for high-value sectors but results in manufactured geometries and surfaces that can be difficult to measure

Efficient volumetric non-destructive testing methods for additively manufactured parts

June 6, 2019
Author(s)
Anne-Francoise Obaton, Bryan Butsch, Ewen Carcreff, Nans Laroche, Jared B. Tarr, Alkan Donmez
As additive manufacturing (AM) moves towards industrial production in critical sectors such as aerospace and medical, the integrity of the fabricated AM parts need to be ensured in order for these parts to be certified. This requires quality controls

Uncertainty of particle size measurements using dynamic image analysis

May 14, 2019
Author(s)

Justin G. Whiting, Vipin N. Tondare, John H. Scott, Thien Q. Phan, M A. Donmez

Metal powder particle size and size distribution (PSD) are critical factors affecting powder layer density and uniformity in additive manufacturing processes. Among various existing measurement methods, dynamic image analysis (DIA) instruments are very

Chemistry from 3D-printed objects

April 26, 2019
Author(s)
Matthew R. Hartings, Zeeshan Ahmed
3D printing technology has started to take hold as an enabling tool for scientific advancement. Born from the marriage of computer-aided design and additive manufacturing, 3D printing was originally intended to generate prototypes for inspection before

Evaluation of a thermo-mechanical model for prediction of residual stress during laser powder bed fusion of Ti-6Al-4V

April 2, 2019
Author(s)
Rishi Ganeriwala, Maria Strantza, Wayne King, Bjorn Clausen, Thien Q. Phan, Lyle E. Levine, Donald W. Brown, Niel Hodge
The build-up of residual stress in a part during laser powder bed fusion provides a significant limitation to the adoption of this process. These residuals stresses may cause a part to fail during a build or fall outside the specified tolerances after

Simulation of TTT curves for additively manufactured Inconel 625

January 1, 2019
Author(s)
Carelyn E. Campbell, Greta Lindwall, Eric Lass, Fan Zhang, Mark R. Stoudt, Andrew J. Allen, Lyle E. Levine
The ability to use common computational thermodynamic and kinetic tools to study the microstructure evolution in Inconel 625 (IN625) manufactured using the additive manufacturing (AM) technique of laser powder-bed fusion is evaluated. Solidification

3D Printing in Cell Culture Systems and Medical Applications

December 18, 2018
Author(s)
Max J. Lerman, Josephine Lembong, John G. Gillen, John P. Fisher
3D printing serves an important role in various biomedical research applications, including but not limited to culture systems and implantable devices. In this review, we discuss recent development in the applications of 3D printing technologies for

A DESIGN FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING ONTOLOGY TO SUPPORT MANUFACTURABILITY ANALYSIS

October 1, 2018
Author(s)
Samyeon Kim, David W. Rosen, Paul Witherell, Hyunwoong Ko
Design for additive manufacturing (DFAM) provides design freedom for creating complex geometries and guides designers to ensure manufacturability of parts fabricated using additive manufacturing (AM) processes. However, there is a lack of formalized DFAM

Flow-induced crystallization during materials extrusion additive manufacturing

September 10, 2018
Author(s)
Lily Northcutt, Sara Orski, Kalman D. Migler, Anthony Kotula
Material extrusion additive manufacturing processes force molten polymer through a printer nozzle at high (> 100 s-1) wall shear rates prior to cooling and crystallization. These high shear rates can lead to flow-induced crystallization in common polymer

SELF-IMPROVING ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

August 26, 2018
Author(s)
Yan Lu, Zhuo Yang, Douglas Eddy, Sundar Krishnamurty
The current AM development environment is far from being mature. Both software applications and workflow management tools are very limited due to the lack of knowledge to support engineering decision makings. AM knowledge includes design rules, operation

A SUPER-METAMODELLING FRAMEWORK TO OPTIMIZE SYSTEM PREDICTABILITY

August 25, 2018
Author(s)
Yan Lu, Douglas Eddy, Sundar Krishnamurty, Ian Grosse
Statistical metamodels can robustly predict manufacturing process and engineering systems design results. Various techniques, such as Kriging, polynomial regression, artificial neural network and others, are each best suited for different scenarios that

Diffusion in the Ti-Al-V system

August 23, 2018
Author(s)
Greta Lindwall, Kil-Won Moon, Zhangqi Chen, Michael J. Mengason, Maureen E. Williams, Justin Gorham, Ji-Cheng Zhao, Carelyn E. Campbell
Diffusion in the Ti-Al-V system is studied and a CΑLPHAD diffusion mobility description is developed. Diffusion couple experiments are used to obtain information of Al and V diffusion in the α phase. This includes diffusion paths at the temperatures 923 K

The Effects of Laser Powder Bed Fusion Process Parameters on Material Hardness and Density for Nickel Alloy 625

August 21, 2018
Author(s)
Christopher U. Brown, Gregor Jacob, Antonio M. Possolo, Carlos R. Beauchamp, Max A. Peltz, Mark R. Stoudt, M A. Donmez
The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between mechanical and material properties (including density) of manufactured nickel super alloy (IN625) using a laser powder bed fusion process and three process parameters: laser power, hatch

Coupled experimental and computational study of residual stresses of additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V components
