Schiller’s bell – how 3D printing revolutionises mould making and the shaping of components

de
3D Printing Conference
What is it about?
Traditionally, there are two most commonly used manufacturing processes in industry: • Subtractive manufacturing, e. g. represented by CNC machining • Formative production or forming by casting (injection molding / wax melting process) Both methods are very common - the choice of one or the other depends mainly on the complexity of the part, the chosen material or the production volume. For some time now another manufacturing process has been in existence: Additive manufacturing / 3D printing. The seminar deals with the topic of how prototyping can help to simulate accurately & minimize errors. Simulation tools are standard in the development of products above a certain degree of complexity in order to optimize mold construction – in terms of construction time, but even more so in order to optimize the design and minimize rework.

Lightweight Materials based on AlMg for 3D Printing, Casting and Extrusion
Rüdiger Franke Vice President Metal Technology, Fehrmann Materials GmbH & Co. KG
de
3D Printing Conference
What is it about?
Lightweight designing is the key to efficiency and sustainability for many applications. Aluminium-magnesium alloys offer an interesting combination of strength properties and ductility, as well as fatigue strength and corrosion resistance. This enables lean and materialefficient designs. For example, explosion-proof castings for vessel cars could be switched to lightweight aluminium designs that were previously made with steel castings leading to significantly higher weights. Further developments of the AlMg alloy family show that a wide range of components can be produced in various additive processes (LPBF, DED), as well as various casting processes (sand casting, permanent mould casting, high pressure die casting) and in extrusion. This enables consolidation in the material mix, simplifyiing significantly the recycling of assemblies, e.g. in automotive space frames. The processability in the abovementioned methods also enables the application at different scaling degrees, starting with single parts, small series‘, to the large series mass production. Due to the absence of silicon in the alloy, components can be anodised well, regardless of the process used to produce them.

Combining additive manufacturing and crafting; printing modelling clay
Christoph Doerffel
Head of project, Steinbeis Innovationszentrum Automation, Prozesstechnik, Leichtbau
de
3D Printing Conference
What is it about?
Modelling clay is a classic material for creative and artistic design processes. The compound, which is based on filled waxes, allows almost completely free shaping without tools by means of craftsmanship. It can be used both directly as a model and as a mould for silicone moulded parts. New application potentials open up with regard to the reproduction of even complex geometries with undercuts and filigree elements in combination with the technologies of additive manufacturing and 3D scanning. The simple manual post-processing in combination with the renewed digitisation of the model makes it possible to proceed in iterative loops in design and development processes. The direct recyclability of the material without external processing is another positive effect, which both avoids waste and reduces material costs. The modelling clay can be returned to the printing process directly after use, sorted by colour if necessary. The basis of the printing technology for modelling clay is a comprehensive understanding of the mechanical, thermal and rheological properties of the modelling clay. The development of a suitable printing system is based on this understanding. This enables a process-safe layer build-up and the reproducible production of moulded parts.

Development of a manufacturing guideline to increase the dimensional, form and positional accuracy of L-PBF components made of 316L powder material
Due to high temperature gradients during the production of components with the additive L-PBF manufacturing process, residual stresses are induced in the components to be produced. Macroscopic residual stresses, which distort the dimensional accuracy of the component geometry, can be measured in part based on the external component distortion. In this project, the problem is counteracted by various approaches with the aim of providing a manufacturing and design guideline to enable additive manufacturing of dimensionally stable components with the lowest possible residual stresses. The focus is on developing a suitable heat treatment to reduce residual stresses before the component is separated from the build platform. Continuing, the adjustment of the process parameters and the scanning strategy during the process will be investigated so that residual stresses can already be reduced during remelting of the powder. FEM simulations are performed prior to the manufacturing process to calculate compensating pre-deformations as accurately as possible. In addition, warpage-critical areas are identified, which is used to develop adapted scanning strategies that can locally reduce deformation. By manufacturing suitable reference geometries, such as the cantilever beam established in this research area, the influence of the different approaches on component distortion and mechanical properties is determined directly. Thus, it can be directly validated that the approaches have no negative influence on the strength. The developed manufacturing and design guidelines are currently being tested on the basis of realistic demonstrators and their methodology should finally be universally applicable.

Implementation of optimized surface slitting for eddy current loss reduction on the surface of an additively manufactured permanent magnet rotor

de
Forum AM Science
What is it about?
The Laser Powder Bed Fusion of metals is an additive manufacturing technology which is now of great interest for the production of electrical machines due to its promising advantages. However, additive manufacturing is not widespread in these fields compared to conventional processes. A major challenge is to reduce the eddy currents generated in the rotor. Conventionally, insulated laminations are used which restrict the current paths arising perpendicular to the field direction to narrow areas of the laminations' cross-sections and thus greatly reduce the losses. In this study, an alternative was developed with which, by adapting process parameters and design modifications, a surface slot can be implemented in order to effectively reduce eddy currents in additively manufactured rotors of synchronous machines.

Forum Mobility
What is it about?
The presentation sheds light on additive manufacturing and its application at
Ford. The first steps in 3D printing began in the 1990s when Ford started
producing design prototypes with the first printers. This was later continued with
the introduction of metal printers in the early 2010s. Today, 3D printing is a
standard equipment in production facilities and in product development,
alongside milling machines and laptops.
The focus is on the progressive application of 3D printing, starting with the
manufacture of design prototypes, moving to functional prototypes, and then to
printed parts in the vehicle and in production. Special milestones include the
introduction of 3D-printed plastic tools, which were used extensively in the production of the Ford Focus in 2018. Ford also uses additive manufacturing to
produce various grippers for handling and feeding parts. Copper inductors for
hardening gearbox parts in series production are also produced using 3D printing.
The presentation demonstrates that both small and large parts can be produced
and used with 3D printing technology, and that the technology is successfully
applied in the production of functional prototypes. It shows that 3D printing is an
important part of research and development at Ford and that the technology
makes a significant contribution to the production of vehicles.

Removability of support structures in laser powder bed fusion of Ti-6Al-4V
Prathveraj Shetty Hamburg University of Technology (Institute of Laser and System Technologies)
de
Forum AM Science
What is it about?
In laser powder bed Fusion of metals, support structures are required for successful manufacturing to support overhangs, anchor the part to the build platform and dissipate heat generated in the process. These support structures are not part of the final component and must be removed, thereby increasing processing time and material consumption as the support structures cannot be directly recycled. A key factor regarding this is the machining time, as the removal of the support structures is often still done manually today. In order to minimise the time required, the design of the support structures was investigated with regard to the factors influencing the (manual) removability, so that the support structures can be further optimised to this end. Experimental investigations were performed by using polygonal geometries with regard to the removability. The specimens were loaded for bending manually and with the help of a bending testing machine. The influence of the moment of resistance on the removability could be demonstrated by the experiments. Furthermore, the direction from which the support structures should be removed also plays a significant role. Therefore, the direction-based removal should optimally already be considered in the design phase.

The current status of the project, which will run until 2024 and is being carried out with the practice partner "Rosenkranz Scherer" from Bad Homburg, will be shown. Project manager and lecturer is Niklas Hamann. The aim of the research is to explore the possibilities and potentials of combining digital data acquisition, computational design and 3D printing for body-related and medical applications. The essential object of investigation and application is the field of orthotics. Here, the focus is on the development of novel lower leg-foot orthoses for the indication of diabetic foot syndrome ("Charcot foot"). Specifically, the lecture will present essential parameters, strategies and methods for the generation of geometrically complex orthoses. The focus is on the one hand on the computer-based generation and manipulation of corresponding geometries and components in dependence on three-dimensionally recorded body data, and on the other hand on the optimization for additive manufacturing by means of 3D printing. In this topic, the focus is on the advantages and disadvantages of specific geometric typologies, the algorithmization of bespoke components and functional areas. To this end, the talk will provide specific insights into the application of computer-aided design (CAD) software such as McNeel Rhinoceros 3D as well as corresponding (visual) programming through parametric and algorithmic approaches in Grasshopper. In addition, results from different 3D printing technologies, such as HP's "Multi Jet Fusion" process, will be presented.

de
Forum AM Science
What is it about?
Additive manufacturing of pure copper facing challenges due to high thermal conductivity, high light reflectivity and oxide formation. To overcome these challenges, electron beam is superior as an energy source compared to laser due to high energy input (more than 90% of beam power) and operation in high vacuum. Wire Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (WEBAM) is capable of producing copper components at high deposition rates of up to 3 kg/hour. Examples produced to date include walls, cylinders, hemispheres, and cones with wall thicknesses between 3 and 8 mm. A 22 kg rocket mock-up was produced at a deposition rate of 2 kg/hour with excellent surface quality. It should be emphasized that at this high deposition rate, an average power of 2 kW was sufficient. A significant difference in process parameters was found by using copper base plates instead of steel base plates. Due to the high thermal conductivity of copper, successfully manufacturing geometries on copper baseplates was challenging and required a large increase in beam power. WEBAM components made of pure copper exhibit high electrical conductivity comparable to the international standard for annealed copper. Tensile strengths of up to 220 MPa and strain at failure of more than 35 % have been demonstrated.

What is it about?
The production of multi material components is often cited as one of the main advantages for the use of Directed Energy Deposition (DED) in various industries. Combining multiple materials in one component offers the opportunity to improve component properties by selecting material properties to meet the necessary requirements in different areas of the component. This advantage is even greater the more different the materials are. In the DED sector, laser radiation in the infrared range is mainly used as standard. This has severely limited the use of copper alloys in DED due to their reflective properties. New process strategies make it possible to coat copper components. However, more complex geometries and the high material costs of copper make it desirable to use copper not only as substrate but also as powder material. Recent advances in the laser industry have made it possible to use blue lasers in DED machines. By using blue lasers, a higher portion of the energy can be used to melt the material, especially for copper alloys. The latest advances in the processing of copper alloys and their economic advantages will be presented. Two multi material applications will be shown, one from aerospace and one from die & mold.

As an example, the material cycles shall be closed by using by-products of the industry as secondary raw materials for new products in order to save natural resources and reduce CO2 emissions in the future. The steel industry produces valuable by-products that have a high potential for effective reuse. A prominent example is high-quality iron oxide powder, the by-product of the pickling process when used pickling agents are recycled. On the other hand, spherical dense metal powder is required for additive manufacturing, especially for the laser powder bed fusion of metals process (PBF-LB/M). This publication evaluates the processability of the by-product iron oxide powder from the steel industry in the PBF-LB/M-process. For this purpose a process for the production of a suitable iron powder from the iron oxide is developed at the beginning to evaluate the processability of the iron powder produced in the PBF-LB/M-process with a parameter study and in comparison to gas- and water-atomised iron powder. The results of the parameter study show that the upgraded iron powder could produce components with a relative density of 99.76% in the PBF-LB/M-process.

As part of the BMBF’s call for proposals for “MaterialDigital”, a consortium of research institutions has been established that pursue various additive manufacturing processes for metallic materials, including extrusion of composites, wire melting and powder bed processes. It is important for the consortium to create a common knowledge base (Ontology) that allows a clear description of the material properties of the additive-fabricated structures. Static characteristics and those obtained under cyclic loads shall be considered. The process dependency of the parameters as well as their statistical dispersions are also to be recorded. A short excursion covers the software-technical realization of the databases for the decentralized recording of the characteristic values.

3D Printing Conference
What is it about?
Much has changed since the first electronic printer was developed in 1968. Within a few decades, black-and-white matrix printers were first introduced, followed by full-color inkjet and laser printers. Similar progress is currently being made in the market for 3D printers. However, it seems that the development could proceed many times faster this time. Prototypes and print-on-demand still account for the largest volume of 3D printing. Until recently, a great deal of effort was required to turn a 3D printed object into a finished product. Just think of the laborious cutting out of the support structures, grinding, polishing and subsequent painting over. With the inkjet technology of the Mimaki 3D printer, all of these tasks can be partially or completely avoided. This makes it possible to print objects with UV-curing ink directly in 10 million colours. In addition, the support material dissolves easily when the object is immersed in lukewarm water. This significantly speeds up the entire process and reduces the workload, as the printer provides the 3D object in full colour and it can be used almost immediately.

What is it about?
With more than 237000 ordered spare parts for more than 6600 trains per day, OeBB-Train Tech faces the daily challenge of handling this huge range of items. Obsolete Components, no standard suppliers leading to delivery times over months and high costs per part. This are the challenges in the spare parts business.
In OeBB Group, OeBB-Train Tech is responsible for the maintenance and maintenance of the rolling stock.
To meet the high demands in the spare parts sector, the project “3Dprint@OeBB” was founded in 2018 to be able to exploit the potential of the promisingly additive manufacturing technology in the company.
Since then, this new technology has been developing at a rapid pace in the company and has made it possible to produce much more than just prototypes. In recent years, more than 300 applications were found, and more than 35000 spare parts has been printed. As a result, costs were saved, delivery times were shortened and “standstills” were prevented.
From a small sensor mount up to an entire 3D-printed dashboard down, the range of spare parts is huge and almost every spare part has the potential to cause a train to fail.
Preventing this and ensuring 100% material availability is one of the most important goals of the 3D printing team.

Conversion of bio-based residues into AM materials as a sustainable and cost-effective approach: example of water hyacinths in Kenya
Leif Micke scientific staff, Technical University Bergakademie Freiberg
de
Forum AM Science
What is it about?
Additive manufacturing usually uses optimally adapted materials such as polymer or metal powders, resins and filaments to guarantee reliable and high quality. On the other hand, these special materials are expensive and often pose a risk to health and the environment. Moreover, additive manufacturing cannot exploit its advantage of decentralisation if there are dependencies on individual, large material manufacturers. The use of bio-based residues, e.g. from agriculture and invasive plant species, can serve as an alternative approach to produce cost-efficient and sustainable materials suitable for AM. This approach can be transferred to numerous other residual materials as well as different AM processes and thus offers the possibility of promoting local material cycles. In this paper, water hyacinth, an invasive plant species in Kenya, is used as an example to show that it can be processed into a material for binder jetting (BJT). The particle and mechanical properties are compared with those of already known bio-based BJT materials to illustrate the potential. Due to their porous structure, the end products have a low density, a low heat transfer coefficient and can absorb sound well.

In this study, paper fibres, a waste product when cutting corrugated board, are examined with regard to the possible application in the additive manufacturing process Binder Jetting (BJT). With this technique the production of individual packaging from paper fibres is tested. For this purpose, bio-based rosins are used as solid binders to produce waterproof packaging inserts. These packaging inserts should be disposable with paper waste and returned to the material cycle.

The additive manufacturing processes offer great potential for lightweight construction due to the almost limitless freedom of form. With materials such as fiberglass, carbon or Kevlar, real problems can be solved and components can be printed that previously could not be 3D printed but had to be manufactured mechanically. Due to the changed manufacturing processes, components can be manufactured much more easily, often without additive-compatible design. Due to their property profile, fibre composites offer a high potential for lightweight construction in vehicle and mechanical engineering. Additive manufacturing processes are particularly well suited to produce highly complex load- and weight-optimised structures that are not conventionally manufactured in this way.

Influence of component structures on mechanical properties of dual-curing multi-material additive manufacturing
Philip Obst AM Production Specialist, BMW Group
de
Forum AM Science
What is it about?
Cavity Vat Photopolymerisation (CVPP) describes a process of producing a solid object filled with liquid resin during additive manufacturing (AM). Afterwards, the object gets cured in a second step, which connects the liquid and solid material phases. This allows to create composite multi-material (MM) products with elastomer and thermoset properties from one starting material. Dual-curing systems from technologies like Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) with thermal curing process steps are ideal for this purpose. MM-DLS using CVPP faces common MM-AM drawbacks and enables composite parts with customizable properties and additional advantages. To determine the potential for usage in end products, different variations of both combined material states are investigated mechanically in the form of test specimens. Results show, how mechanical properties are affected by changing the ratio of elastomer to thermoplastic content. Tensile tests proof that the interface between the two material states is not the weakest point of the multi-material resin parts due to chemical bonding. Small amounts of elastomer state inside the specimens changes the mechanical properties and improves the impact behavior significantly compared to the solid thermoset. By changing the ratio between thermoset and elastomer, the material behavior can be individually adjusted from a tough polymer to an elastomer.

Metal 3D Printing at Laserinstitut Hochschule Mittweida – From Micro to Large Format
The laser-based additive manufacturing of metal components is one of the research focuses at Laserinstitut Hochschule Mittweida (LHM). A special feature at LHM is the further development of the selective laser melting technology (SLM) in the micro as well as in the macro range. On the one hand, precision parts with structural resolutions up to 30 μm and layer thicknesses up to 5 μm can be manufactured using Micro-SLM. Compared to the common SLM process, this means an improvement in the resolution by a factor of 4 - 5 and thus opens up completely new fields of application. On the other hand, large-volume components with low resolution requirements can be manufactured faster and more cost-effectively with the Macro-SLM. Laser powers in the multi kW range (single beam) are used for the process, whereby extremely high build rates (factor 30 compared to conventional SLM) are achieved. Furthermore, the building volume is currently being expanded to a size of 2 x 2 x 1 m³ in order to enable the production of large-volume components. The technique allows the manufacturing of complex geometries with structure resolutions greater than 1 mm and layer thicknesses greater than 0.5 mm.

What is it about?
The mechanical properties of components in laser-based powder bed fusion of plastics depend on the formation of a melt pool with a homogenous surface and temperature. The transient temperature of the melt pool has a decisive influence on the melting of particles and the cooldown behavior defines the pore formation. Within the scope of this work, the influence of the component geometry and the resulting scan vector length on the pore volume distribution and sphericity is investigated. Infrared thermography process monitoring and X-ray micro computed tomography show that the sample geometry is the main influence on the size, and shape of pores. At reduced distances to the center of mass, the melt pool temperature is at elevated levels for extended periods. This coincides with a reduced number and increased sphericity of pores.

What is it about?
3D printing thought bigger 3D printing opens up entirely new product and manufacturing approaches. However, many 3D printing processes are too expensive and too slow for industrialization. The key here is to produce large quantities in a short time. This is even more true for the additive manufacturing of large-volume and resilient plastic components. The production of plastic components from injection molding granulates is only environmentally friendly at first glance in terms of substituting energy-intensive manufactured components. When the materials to be processed and a closed-loop system are included in the production of the components, the SEAM (Screw Extrusion Additive Manufacturing) process can represent a quantum leap for environmental protection and sustainable application of 3D printing.

Forum AM Science
What is it about?
Laser based powder bed fusion of polymers (PBF-LP/P) is an industry disruptive process that allows the mass production of highly complex functional components. It is necessary to achieve certain fire properties for the availability of applications in fields such as electrical, electronic components, or aviation. Therefore, the goal of this work is to dry mix halogen-free flame retardants to modify the flame characteristics of the polyamide 6 components. For this purpose, the process-relevant powder properties with differing flame retardant contents were investigated first to subsequently produce test specimens for mechanical and flame retardant investigations. The flame retardant tests confirm that for the industrially relevant UL-94 test, a classification of V0 is achieved, and by investigating the fire behavior of polyamide 6 for the first time, it is possible to show that halogen-free flame retardants have the potential to expand the applications of PBF-LP/P.

Influence of chemical smoothing on mechanical properties and surface roughness of laser sintered polyamide 12 parts

de
Forum AM Science
What is it about?
The surface of PBF-LB/P parts is known for its rough texture and external appearance, whereby the surface roughness has a significant influence on the mechanical properties. Chemical smoothing with solvents is a well-known method for influencing the surface texture of PBF-LB/P component. Due to the further development and industrialization of the process, the post-processing method is becoming increasingly attractive for the use in the automotive industry. Chemical smoothing reduces the surface roughness and seals the surface, which leads to a change in the functional as well as optical properties. Due to the significant increase in elongation at break at a near constant tensile strength after smoothing, this post-processing method has the potential to expand the range of application for of PBF-LB/P parts in the automotive industry. This paper is investigating the influence of the chemical smoothing process on the mechanical properties and surface roughness of polyamide 12 (PA12) parts.

The field of 3D printed electronics faces several challenges. Traditional methods such as jetting or dispensing-based technologies with nanoparticle-based inks have limitations in terms of the range of available materials and their properties. These methods often result in materials that are difficult to work with due to their poor conductivity or mechanical properties. At Syenta, we are utilizing a promising alternative approach which involves a novel form of localized electrodeposition. This process consists of selectively depositing materials onto a surface using an electrode, with precise control over the deposition resulting in accurate and uniform results. Furthermore, this method allows for the printing of a wider range of materials with improved properties, including conductive metals and other difficult-to-print materials such as polymers and semiconductors. This innovation has the potential to revolutionize the field of 3D printed electronics, enabling the production of more advanced electronic components and devices. Thus, leading to a more efficient manufacturing process and sustainable future when compared to the conventional fabrication methods of today.

While 3D printing has moved from mainly prototyping to production over the last decade, we still use mostly the same design software and methods from the early 80s. CAD’s foundation is the BREP (boundary representation) that, when created, was ideal for digitizing drafting. CAD successfully replaced the drafting board for drawing, but what’s next? Rather than incrementally improving upon CAD, a totally new underlying model is needed, breaking boundaries between analysis and design, to handle the ever-increasing complexity of modern manufacturing. Implicit modeling + Field-Driven-Design is built for the future of product development and already today is enabling a wide range of products from more efficient turbine engines to zero-energy hydrogen-powered aircraft to lightweight, autonomous factory robots.

Forum AM Science
What is it about?
While additive manufacturing processes are already established in other industries, their application in the construction industry is still a marginal topic and is currently largely limited to extrusion printing. This paper deals with additive manufacturing (AM) by selective cement activation (SCA) for concrete components and a possible application in construction practice. The focus of the study lies on the mechanical properties of the hardened concrete samples and the identification of significant parameters such as the loading direction or the size of the specimens. Compared to other publications, which mainly deal with small specimens on material scale, the experimental scope in the present study is extended to larger structural elements to ensure their transferability to practice. It is shown that the loading direction versus the orientation of the layers as well as the horizontal orientation of elongated structural elements in the particle bed have a significant influence on the properties of the additively manufactured samples. There is a need for future research to perform a comprehensive fundamental investigation on material properties in order to derive a material model that is resilient for design concepts through larger amounts of data.

Possibilities for the individualization of esophageal stents through
additive manufacturing
Esophageal cancer is statistically the eighth most common type of tumor in the world. The 5-year mortality rate for esophageal cancer is over 80 %. This is caused by the symptoms (difficulty swallowing, feeling of pressure), which usually become apparent only at a late stage, and the lack of routine screening examinations. For the palliative treatment of tumors that are usually no longer operable, a metal mesh stent is currently being used to enable the patient to enjoy as high a quality of life as possible by swallowing as unhindered as possible. Due to its standardized geometry, this stent entails some disadvantages and problems, which are to be eliminated by an additively manufactured, patient-specific stent. This should not only significantly improve patient well-being, but also lead to a much lower resource burden (financial and human) for the healthcare system due to less frequent stent changes. In this publication, different additive manufacturing options for direct or indirect fabrication of individualized esophageal stents are listed and compared. In addition to conventional additive manufacturing by material extrusion, additive manufacturing on a rotating roller is also examined in more detail. Furthermore, indirect methods or process chains such as centrifugal casting with additively manufactured cavities and AM post-core technology are compared. Here, the respective current research statuses with their advantages, risks and challenges are evaluated and illuminated. The paper concludes with a comparison of the concepts considered and an outlook for their implementation in clinical applications.

3D Printing Conference
The development and qualification of an additive process chain for the production of optically transparent, complex glass assemblies based on the “Laminated Object Manufacturing” (LOM) is a new and innovative manufacturing strategy. With the classic LOM, contours are cut out of sheet metal or ceramic green foil, stacked in layers one above the other and laminated, i. e. so tightly bonded that a component with the same material-technical properties is formed from each of the individual layers. Due to the optical advantages of glass, the increasing complexity of the elements and assemblies to be manufactured, as well as the application requirements, conventional glass processing is reaching its limits in both cold and hot processing. The qualification of individual process steps to the LOM process from the combination of laser beam cutting and diffusion welding forms the basis for manufacturing large-scale and complex glass components. In accordance with the requirements regarding the machining strategy and the edge qualities were evaluated and process parameters for diffusion welding were derived. This presents a challenge for the bonding of glass. Emphasis was placed on deriving technical target parameters in the cutting process that correspond to the requirements of diffusion welding. In addition to the numerical simulation, application patterns were developed, manufactured in the laser cutting process and welded together. These were component applications with requirements for heat management or in the optical area. These were tested to demonstrate the performance of the process and to assess the limits of the manufacturing strategies.

Sustainability is a priority for many manufacturing businesses, and rightly so. The planet needs it to be. Additive Manufacturing offers some promise, but how do we ensure it makes sense over traditional methods regarding sustainability and profitability? Using a couple of example products/components, we will look at the difference in Cost and CO₂e emissions between a range of manufacturing processes, including additive manufacturing, and how the design and material play a huge role in optimizing this balance.

KEYNOTE: Direct Energy Deposition (DED) Processes for Manufacturing Combustion Chamber Parts of Rocket Engines - Status and Challenges in Development and Industrialization
What is it about?
An ultra-low cost reusable rocket engine, Prometheus is set to power Europe’s future launchers. Constructed using 3D printing technology, the core of the engine is the thrust chamber and in particular the combustion chamber. Cold Spraying (CS) was selected to sprayform the copper chamber liner and to deposit In625 for the load bearing structure (jacket). ArianeGroup, the leader of Cold Spraying (CS) for rocket engine applications achieved decisive breakthroughs in the areas of coating and component design and stable long-term use of the process. Especially in the area of process robustness, significant development steps such as the introduction of a monitoring system for continuous in-process control and the development of a new generation of spray nozzles to minimize the so-called clogging effect could be achieved on the way to the industrialization of the cold spray process for space propulsion applications. The use and application of the EHLA (Extreme High Speed Laser Application) process is currently being tested as a repair solution but also for the application of load-bearing structures at the ArianeGroup. The status of developments and an outlook for future use of the EHLA process for rocket engine applications are given here.

Additive manufacturing offers nowadays the ability to produce increasingly large parts. However, the post-processing of these parts presents several challenges, especially in the aerospace industry, where stringent requirements must be met. This presentation provides insight into the process chain for manufacturing radio frequency antenna parts for satellite communication. The challenges in the production of these parts include the additive manufacturing process itself, where the parts nearly fill the entire build chamber. Furthermore, milling the parts to precise tolerances relative to the as-printed geometries. Additionally, handling the parts between process steps and shipping them safely to the end customer are crucial aspects of the post-processing stage.

What is it about?
At Neue Materialien Fürth, we transfer fundamental university research into industrial application. With our novel prototype PBFEB machine manufactured by probeam GmbH & Co. KG, we are able to process Ti based alloys and titanium aluminides without processing gas in vacuum conditions up to 1100°C. The prototype is capable of 150 kV acceleration voltage and 45 kW power and is equipped with electron optics (ELO) for insitu process monitoring. The higher acceleration voltage compared to conventional machines (60 kV) is beneficial for pre heating and melting, shortening process times and enabling advanced scanning strategies. As a result, the efficiency of the process and the final part quality is increased. The machine is controlled by software developed by the chair of Materials Science and Engineering for Metals at the Friedrich Alexander Universität , enabling full control over every single scan line. The ELO allows insitu monitoring of every single layer for defects, contamination or geometrical inaccuracy. This talk will explain, how the next generation of PBF EB machines will benefit froma higher acceleration voltage and insitu process monitoring vi a electron optics, making a huge step toward the broad industrialization of the technology.

What is it about?
This presentation will cover how today’s additive users can optimize their current state and better plan for further investment in additive. As companies scale up their additive initiatives from prototyping to production, they are faced with many challenges as current processes, which are often relying heavily on manual labor, become bottlenecks. We will first look at the the state of the 3D post-printing market, and key considerations for companies as they scale up. Then we will discuss how companies are addressing today’s post-print bottleneck with automated technologies. This covers both practical considerations as well as examples from those who have applied automated post-printing in their workflow across a range of print technologies including, allowing their additive operations to scale faster. Finally, we will look at digitization and how software-enabling and connecting post-processing workflows within the overall operations will become imperative. Issues around connectivity and interoperability remain barriers for companies wanting to make the transition from prototyping to using AM for full-scale production. To overcome these challenges manufacturers, need a more connected AM workflow, seamless planning and scheduling and greater traceability across their operations. This presentation will discuss ideas for processes to allow for unifying the digital thread and enable the factory floor of the future.

What is it about?
Additive manufacturing is characterized by interdisciplinary challenges. The staff required for this requires new or adapted skills, new ways of thinking and methodological approaches. Universities play a central role in the training of future engineers and researchers. Students receive methodical and technical training and are thus introduced to future industrial tasks. Anyone who suspects that industry is unable to participate and has no influence is mistaken. But how exactly is this possible? The new requirements of the industry in the context of additive manufacturing, e. g. through digitization, have been integrated into curricula in recent years. But what exactly characterizes a university teaching? Where are the universities today and how exactly have they taken on board and integrated the interdisciplinary topic of additive manufacturing?

What is it about?
For more than two years, rpm has been producing end-user products in Selective Laser Synthesis and has built a series of quality assurance processes to ensure their output. The rpm team will lay out the schematic they use at each stage of product development and production to ensure top quality.
A successful product begins with the design phase and optimizing for later processing alongside function. Strict production processes and controls are an essential second step. The third key is the advances in production and post-processing machines that allow for a validated, locked workflow. For validation of parts from specific batches, rpm relies on automated part scanning using the GOM ScanCobot system. And last but not least, a clear definition and execution of packaging allows rpm to deliver "sales ready" products directly to canyon without requiring any additional handling.
Even a few years ago, the machines and surrounding processes were not meeting the required milestones. Now each company in the AM industry is a few steps away from delivering reliable series products.
Speaker/s
Brian Crotty is responsible for managing new business development in industries outside mobility and focusing on series additive manufacturing at rpm GmbH. In particular, he is focused on developing end-use parts for Carbon DLS applications and SLS parts in specialty materials.
In 2020, Brian joined rpm - rapid product manufacturing GmbH, one of the pioneers of laser-based 3D printing with 25+ years producing SLS parts, to satisfy a desire to produce concrete parts. rpm also has 20 years of experience with small series casting and injection molding of spare and specialty series parts. This gives them a unique view into what it takes to produce parts in series and what steps AM needs to get there. At 80+ employees, they also have the internal knowledge and quality assurance processes in place to produce in series.
His previous 5 years, Brian handled the marketing and product positioning for 3YOURMIND where he developed deep understanding for the true business cases in additive manufacturing. Prior to entering the AM industry, Brian came from a software and design background including coordinating designers, artists, programmers and producers to produce physical and digital artwork installations in some of the biggest new hospitals along the west coast of the United States as the operations director of a boutique artwork consulting company.

What is it about?
Additive manufacturing continues to evolve from prototyping and small series production to a factor for mass production. The Aerospace industry with highest quality requirements in production and large-volume parts particularly benefits from this. Maximizing the utilization and output of each AM system therefore plays a crucial role in this strategy. Every aspect of the manufacturing- and production-chain must therefore be investigated and optimized to achieve this holistic goal. First this presentation will show how the development of the additive manufacturing process can reduce the build time, using support reduction tools and laser beam shaping to increase build speed. As second important point the introduction of automation will then be discussed to optimize the production by reducing non-productive time and increase capacity utilization. Finally, the possibilities of digitalization are shown by using monitoring systems and data analysis tools to increase availability. All these findings can be displayed on different dashboards to measure production KPIs like OEE - productivity, availability, and quality. The use of these methods is contrasted with the classical approach to show the advantages and present the future of additive manufacturing, which is ready to take on large production targets and is here shown in aerospace use cases.

Forum Post Processing & Quality Assurance
What is it about?
Selective laser sintering (SLS) with polymers is currently in transition from prototyping to the production of functional components. As a result, the application capability is confronted with new requirements for reliability and reproducibility. This requires a deeper process understanding of material ageing processes in polymers. For a material traceability as well as an identification of defective components with subsequent cause tracing, the use of a material inherent marking technology represents a solution. Based on an increased process understanding and the compensation of scattering material properties, SLS in combination with a marking technology offers the possibility of reproducible and high-quality manufacturing. The work presents a method for in-process material characterization using a marking technology. Regarding the future application of material tracing in SLS, the integration of the marking technology into a polyamide 12 sinter material and evaluation of it in SLS is investigated. Potential effects of the marking technology on specific material and component properties are quantified and the traceability of the marking technology in different material conditions is demonstrated. Based on the investigation, current challenges and action recommendations for future implementation of the marking technology in SLS as well as further application options for the marking technology are identified.

A subtractive mindset focusing on traditional teaching methods can lead to skills gaps. On the other hand, a slightly additive mindset that promotes innovative teaching and learning methods can help prepare graduates better for the world of work. One example of this is the Formula Student, where students develop practical skills such as teamwork and project management. Universities and research projects should therefore promote a practice-oriented approach that goes beyond traditional methods in order to better adapt graduates’ qualifications to the demands of the world of work and to reduce the gap between theory and practice.
