摘要:
A method is disclosed for laser cladding a substrate 3, comprising providing the substrate 3; depositing a first determined variable bead width of a material along a toolpath upon the substrate; depositing a second adjacent determined variable bead width of a material along the toolpath which overlaps the first determined variable bead width of deposited material 7; continuing to deposit a plurality of overlapping predetermined adjacent variable bead widths of a material until a first material layer is complete; forming a second material layer by depositing a plurality of overlapping predetermined variable bead widths of a material on top of the first material layer; and continuing to deposit material layers on top of deposited material layers until the cladding is complete; wherein the variable bead width of the deposited material is controlled by a computer having a plurality of input parameters to maintain an approximately constant percent of bead width overlap.
摘要:
A method of additively manufacturing an article (100) includes forming a first portion (210) of the article (100) by three-dimensional printing of a plurality of first layers from a first powder material cut (301) having a first average particle size corresponding to a first feature resolution. The first layers have a first average layer thickness. The method also includes forming a second portion (220) of the article (100) by three-dimensional printing of a plurality of second layers from a second powder material cut (302) having a second average particle size corresponding to a second feature resolution less than the first feature resolution. The second portion (220) includes at least one feature (230). The second layers have a second average layer thickness less than the first average layer thickness. A three-dimensional printing system (400) and an article (100) formed from a powder material by three-dimensional printing are also disclosed.
摘要:
A method (300) is disclosed that includes additively manufacturing (310) with an additive manufacturing (AM) system a sub-component that has a locator element (12); using a control system of the AM system for positioning (320) a first location (18) of the locator element (12); selectively placing (330) a portion of another sub-component (14, 20) adjacent to the locator element (12), based on the positioning; then attaching (340) the second sub-component to the first sub-component in a region, wherein the region is based on the positioning knowledge from the control system so as to make a component. A component (100) comprises a first sub-component (10) that has an AM locator element; and a second sub-component (14, 20) attached to the first sub-component (10), wherein the locator element is attached to the second sub-component within the same additive manufacturing build chamber as the first sub-component.
摘要:
A component formed by an additive manufacturing process includes a body and a first vibration damper. The body is formed from an additive manufacturing material, and defines at least a first cavity completely enclosed within the body. The first vibration damper is disposed within the first cavity. The first vibration damper includes a flowable medium and a first solidified element formed from the additive manufacturing material. The flowable medium surrounds the first solidified element.
摘要:
A system and method for monitoring system including a embedded sensor coupled to an article, wherein the embedded sensor is a direct write embedded sensor using a high temperature light emitting material. A camera system detects illumination signals from the embedded sensors. A processing section processes the illumination signals and determines gas/surface temperatures and strain data for the article.
摘要:
A method for treating a powder, includes: dry mixing the powder with an effective amount of a treating additive to distribute a layer of the treating additive on a surface of a particle of the powder, a primary particle size of the treating additive being smaller than an average particle size of the powder. An associated treated powder is also described.
