Abstract: Techniques for optimizing powder hole removal are disclosed. In one aspect, an apparatus for inserting powder removal features may identify what powder removal features are optimal for a given AM component, as well as the optimal location and physical characteristics of these features. The features are automatedly added to the component, and an FEA test is run. In the event of failure, the offending feature is removed and the process is repeated. If successful then the loose powder may be removed in a post-processing step following AM.

Abstract: A metal extrusion and nodes based structure is provided. The structure comprises one or more arc members connected by one or more node members, wherein the arc comprises (i) a wing feature which is configured to mate with one or more non-structural components, (ii) an internal passage feature which is configured to be inserted into a connecting feature of the corresponding node member, and (iii) one or more keying features formed from a mating interface with the corresponding node member.

Abstract: Techniques for inlaying a composite material within a tooling shell are disclosed. In one aspect, an additively manufactured tooling shell is provided, into which a composite material is inlaid and cured. A surface of the tooling shell is provided with indentations or another mechanism to enable adherence between the composite material and the tooling shell. The resulting integrated structure is used as a component in a transport structure.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for joining tubes in transport structures are presented herein. A part having an attached node with a socket can be joined with tubes. The tubes can be placed along nonparallel axes within the socket; and a wedge can be used to secure the tubes to the socket. The wedge can be secured between the tubes by using a fastener, such as a blind fastener; alternatively, or additionally, the wedge can be secured between the tubes using an adhesive.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for additively manufacturing lattice structures are disclosed herein. Lattice structures are analyzed and automatedly generated with respect to surface proximity. A lattice structure is varied by changing lattice element variables including lattice density. An automated approach using CAD algorithms or programs can generate data for lattice structures based on design variables including volume, surface, angle, and position.
