System and method for part porosity monitoring of additively manufactured components using machining
In additive manufacturing, choice of process parameters for a given material and geometry can result in porosities in the build volume, which can result in scrap.
Distortion generated during additive manufacturing of metallic components affect the build as well as the baseplate geometries. These distortions are significant enough to disqualify components for functional purposes.
For additive manufacturing of large-scale parts, significant distortion can result from residual stresses during deposition and cooling. This can result in part scraps if the final part geometry is not contained in the additively manufactured preform.
High coercive fields prevalent in wurtzite ferroelectrics present a significant challenge, as they hinder efficient polarization switching, which is essential for microelectronic applications.
In additive manufacturing large stresses are induced in the build plate and part interface. A result of these stresses are deformations in the build plate and final component.
Materials produced via additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, can experience significant residual stress, distortion and cracking, negatively impacting the manufacturing process.
Quantifying tool wear is historically challenging task due to variable human interpretation. This capture system will allow for an entire side and the complete end of the cutting tool to be analyzed.
Complex protective casings and housings are necessary for many applications, including combustion chambers of gas turbines used in aerospace engines. Manufacturing these components from forging and/or casting as a whole is challenging, costly, and time-consuming.
Compliance in a part, work holding, or base plate is beneficial for certain processes, but detrimental for machining and material removal.
