Contact-Free Support Structures for Part Overhangs in Powder-Bed Metal Additive Manufacturing
This study investigates the feasibility of a novel concept, contact-free support structures, for part overhangs in powder-bed metal additive manufacturing. The intent is to develop alternative support designs that require no or little post-processing, and yet, maintain effective in minimizing overhang distortions. The idea is to build, simultaneously during part fabrications, a heat sink (calle...
متن کاملResidual Stress in Metal Parts Produced by Powder-Bed Additive Manufacturing Processes
In this study, residual stresses from the electron beam additive manufacturing (EBAM) and selective laser melting (SLM) processes, due to repeated thermal cycles, were investigated. Residual stresses play a crucial role in part performance, and thus, it is critical to evaluate the process-induced residual stresses in AM parts. Ti-6Al-4V and Inconel 718 parts produced by EBAM and SLM, respective...
متن کاملNumerical Investigations on Hatching Process Strategies for Powder Bed Based Additive Manufacturing using an Electron Beam
This paper extends 3D simulation results of layer hatching process strategies for additive manufacturing by electron beam melting (EBM) applications to exploit the future energy potential of electron guns with higher beam power. The physical model, discretized by a three dimensional thermal lattice Boltzmann method, is briefly presented. The numerical implementation is validated on the basis of...
متن کاملPredictive Simulation of Process Windows for Powder Bed Fusion Additive Manufacturing: Influence of the Powder Bulk Density
The resulting properties of parts fabricated by powder bed fusion additive manufacturing processes are determined by their porosity, local composition, and microstructure. The objective of this work is to examine the influence of the stochastic powder bed on the process window for dense parts by means of numerical simulation. The investigations demonstrate the unique capability of simulating ma...
متن کاملConsolidation phenomena in laser and powder-bed based layered manufacturing
Layered manufacturing (LM) is gaining ground for manufacturing prototypes (RP), tools (RT) and functional end products (RM). Laser and powder bed based manufacturing (i.e. selective laser sintering/melting or its variants) holds a special place within the variety of LM processes: no other LM techniques allow processing polymers, metals, ceramics as well as many types of composites. To do so, ho...
