Additive manufacturing (AM) is the process of joining materials to make three-dimensional objects from three-dimensional (3D) model data. AM involves adding layer upon layer until the product is completed. We can also use the termsfreeformmanufacturing,additive processes, additive techniques,andadditi...
This type of advanced manufacturing includes 3-D printing, powder-bed laser printing systems, fused deposition modeling and other processes that involve complex assemblies from continuous material. Benefits include reducing failure points in the system and reducing weight, complexity and thermal dissipation...
This chapter discusses the advantages of additive manufacturing over conventional processing, including enabling design freedom, complex shape capability, near-net shape capability, and the resultant ability to eliminate joining and reduce part count. Fracture toughness measurements were made by the Chevron...
Ansys simulation technology continues to evolve to meet the needs of engineers who use simulation software to create innovative products, systems and processes. The Ansys Mechanical user interface So, without further ado, here are three structural analysis examples that highlight the importance of simul...
“Manufacturing processes based on controlled removal of undesired materials through cutting, drilling or milling to achieve the desired forms.” It contrasts withadditive manufacturing. In this image, the machine is gradually removing bits from the block. This is an example of subtractive manufacturing...
Types of Manufacturing Processes Finally, manufacturing can be divided into different production methods. Each method results in a uniquely different end product. Discrete Manufacturing Discrete manufacturing is aptly named because each product manufactured can be specifically identified. The manufacturing proc...
2020, Journal of Manufacturing Processes Citation Excerpt : EBM fabricated BCC metals such as pure Fe and Nb both exhibit irregularities not found in conventional processes [18]. EBM processed Nb yielded columnar grains with relatively high dislocation densities revealed by transmission electron microscopy...
Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an additive manufacturing process that creates a physical object by laying down thin layers of material and fusing the layers together.
To handle metals in 3D printing, complex melting processes are needed. The material, e.g., stainless steel, cobalt chrome or titanium, is present in fine powder that is melted layer by layer with high-performance lasers and built up to final shape – a process called Selective Laser Melting...
