Thermographic and FE Simulation of the DMLS Process at NIST

February 4, 2015
Author(s)
Brandon M. Lane, Li Ma, Shawn P. Moylan, M A. Donmez, Eric P. Whitenton, Daniel J. Falvey
A major effort of the Measurement Science for Additive Manufacturing Program at NIST is to provide high quality, well-defined temperature measurement of the DMLS process to support and validate multi-physics simulations. However, the dynamic, complex

An Additive Manufacturing Test Artifact

October 23, 2014
Author(s)
Shawn P. Moylan, John A. Slotwinski, A L. Cooke, Kevin K. Jurrens, M A. Donmez
We propose a test artifact, intended for standardization, for the purpose of evaluating the performance of additive manufacturing (AM) systems. A thorough analysis of previously proposed AM test artifacts as well as experience with machining test artifacts

Powder Bed Fusion Machine Performance Testing

April 16, 2014
Author(s)
Shawn P. Moylan, Joseph Drescher, M A. Donmez
Unlike conventional machining where there is a near 1:1 correspondence of machine performance to the geometry of the workpiece, the accuracy of the machine components is only one of the contributors to the quality of a finished AM part. Rather, there is

Study of Accuracy of Parts Produced Using Additive Manufacturing

April 16, 2014
Author(s)
Marcin Bauza, Shawn P. Moylan, Robert Panas, Stephen Burke, Harry Martz, John S. Taylor, Paul Alexander, Richard Knebel
The purpose of this presentation is to focus discussion onto the issue of accuracy and uncertainty of parts made with additive manufacturing processes.

Infrared Thermography for Laser-Based Powder Bed Fusion Additive Manufacturing Processes

July 26, 2013
Author(s)
Shawn P. Moylan, Eric P. Whitenton, Brandon M. Lane, John A. Slotwinski
Additive manufacturing (AM) has the potential to revolutionize discrete part manufacturing, but improvements in processing of metallic materials are necessary before AM will see widespread adoption. A better understanding of AM processes, resulting from

Lessons Learned in Establishing the NIST Metal Additive Manufacturing Laboratory

June 21, 2013
Author(s)
Shawn P. Moylan, John A. Slotwinski, April Cooke, Kevin K. Jurrens, M A. Donmez
This publication presents a summary of lessons learned by NIST staff during establishment of the NIST Metal Additive Manufacturing Laboratory and implementation of the metal additive manufacturing capability at NIST. These lessons learned resulted from the

A VIRTUAL MACHINE TOOL FOR THE EVALUATION OF STANDARDIZED 5-AXIS PERFORMANCE TESTS

October 26, 2012
Author(s)
Ronnie R. Fesperman Jr., Shawn P. Moylan, M A. Donmez
Standards committees are actively working to develop standard test methods for the performance evaluation of 5-axis machining centers through the direct and indirect measurement of simultaneous motions of all five axes [1-2]. However, the compound effect

Proposal for a standardized test artifact for additive manufacturing machines and processes

August 15, 2012
Author(s)
Shawn P. Moylan, John A. Slotwinski, April L. Cooke, Kevin K. Jurrens, M A. Donmez
Historically, standardized test parts are used to quantitatively evaluate the performance of a machine or process. While several different additive manufacturing (AM) test parts have been developed in the past, there are no current standard test parts. We

Dimensional Metrology for Micro/Meso-Scale Manufacturing

June 5, 2012
Author(s)
Shawn P. Moylan
The small sizes, range of shapes and sizes, and low absolute tolerances present unique challenges to geometric dimensional metrology at the micro/meso-scale. This chapter provides and overview of the most common methods used for geometric dimensional
