Selective Laser Sintering/Melting (SLS/SLM)

*essentially the same thing but sintering used for ceramics and melting used for metals and other materials -powder delivery section has elevator starting at the bottom and moving up -fabrication section has elevator starting at the top and moving down -roller pushes material from delivery to fabrication section -laser melts particles Many material options: plastics, waxes, metals, ceramics, particulate composites Very good material properties: high strength and toughness, particularly with post processing treatments -poor surface finish and dimensional accuracy

Advantages of NTM

*good for small details/complex geometry -tight tolerances -often very good surface finish -little or no burring or residual stresses -materials with high strength or hardness can be machined

Supports in Additive Processes

-Base: used in most curing type processes to keep the part form welding itself to the platform -Supports: used in many processes when overhanging parts would bend/break under their own weight during fabrication -sometimes made from different type of material than what is being printed -base and supports made with part then sanded off or broken off during post processing

Electrochemical Machining Processes

-ECM removes material by anodic dissolution with a rapidly flowing electrolyte -the tool is the cathode -work piece is the anode -separated by electrolyte, which helps sweep away by-products of reaction

Thermal Machining: Electron, Ion, and Laser Machining

-Electron beam machining (EBM) uses a beam of high energy electrons focused on the work piece to melt and vaporize a metal -ion beam machining (IBM) or focused ion beam (FIB) is a similar method that uses a focused beam of charged ions (usually gallium) to remove material on the surface of a work piece -laser beam machining (LBM) uses an intensely focused coherent stream of light to vaporize or chemically ablate materials

Mechanics of Machining

-Free Vibration (least bad) response to initial condition or sudden change -Forced Vibration (worse than free vibration) response to periodic (repeating with time) input -Self Excited Vibration (worst vibration) response of the system to a constant input, vibration may grow in amplitude over time

Disadvantages of NTM

-NTM processes typically have low feed rates and high power consumption (slow) -the feed rate is often independent of the material being processed (depending on materials mechanical properties) (some NTM processes can machine the entire surface at once)

Design Factors in Chemical Machining

-areas that are exposed longer will have more metal removed from them ~Etch factor (E) and Anisotropy (A) can be found in tables and used to predict what your mask width needs to be E= u/d A= d/u =1/E *many of these etchants are strong acids or highly caustic- need to make sure the work piece material etches faster than the mask material "etch selectivity"

Laminated Object Manufacturing

-bonds and cuts out shape in solid material sheets -typical materials: coated paper or ceramic tapes, metal -paper laminants behave like wood -ceramics and metals can have good mechanical properties, but require post processing firing steps

Laser Engineering Net Shaping and Direct Metal Deposition

-both methods add powdered material locally to a part: -laser engineering net shaping (LENS) uses a nozzle to deposit powdered material and then melts the powder with a laser to hold in place -direct metal deposition (DMD) melts the surface of the part locally with a laser, and then deposits the powder -both methods usually performed with metals -very good material properties -can be used to make multi-material components -can be used to repair previously manufactured parts

3D Printing

-can be used with any material but mostly used with ceramics and metals -can be used to make molds -can be make intricate, complex molds

Chip Formations

-continuous -discontinuous (best option) -continuous w/ BUE (built up edges) (worst option) *use coolants to keep temp down *use free machining steels to reduce coefficient of friction & make discontinuous chips

Inkjet Deposition

-deposits liquid material using inkjet printing technology -material solidifies upon impact -mow melting temperature materials

Considerations for EDM

-electrode tool material: the choice of electrode material depends on its machinability and cost as well as the desired MRR, surface finish, and tool wear **higher melting temp >> better (for tool) The dielectric fluid has four main functions: -electrical insulation -spark conductor -flushing medium -coolant

Nontraditional Machining

-etching -electro-polishing -electro-discharge machining -water jet -laser beam

Fused Deposition Process

-extrudes and fuses thermoplastic filament together using local melting -equipment is compact and low cost -material is relatively expensive and build times are long compared to other methods -limited to relatively low strength plastics and wax

Process Input Parameters

-general guidelines are available in many types of reference handbooks (machinists handbook) -factors that must be considered to machine a given material: -cutting speed, depth of cut, feed rate -process -material type and hardness -cutting tool material and geometry

Free Abrasives (mechanical NTM)

-many mechanical NTM methods use fine grains of abrasive to chip away at the surface; especially good for machining hard, brittle materials -typical abrasives: aluminum oxide, diamond, cubic boron nitride, silicon carbide (all ceramics) *abrasives need high hardness, friability (opposite of toughness) (ability for something to break or chip into smaller, sharp pieces)

Chemical Machining Processes

-material is removed form a work piece by exposing it to a chemical etchant -chemical reaction occurs everywhere the etchant contacts the work piece in order to create patterns: -use gel milling~ thick gel is applied to the work piece only in areas we want to etch (use very viscous etchant, paint it onto the surface) -use a masking material~ selected areas are covered and the remaining surfaces are exposed to the etchant -variety of metals, ceramics, and glasses may be etched

Nontraditional Machining Processes

-material removal using something other than mechanical cutting/scraping -four basic groups of material removal using NTM processes: -chemical (relies on chemical reaction to remove material) -electro-chemical (also chemical reactions but requires electricity for reaction to proceed) -thermal (use energy to vaporize or melt material) -mechanical (use mechanical force, but tool and work piece never come in contact with each other)

Sintermask

-modified version of selective laser sintering -sinter material together using a laser, but instead of writing the laser over the surface, entire surface is exposed to laser through rewritable photo-mask, similar to that used in solid ground processing

Solid Ground Curing

-most complicated -similar to Masked Lamp SLA, but "writes" mask at each step -also incorporates wax back-filling and milling steps -mask plotter cycle and model grower cycle 1. elevator platform w thin layer of polymer 2. write photo-mask for that particular layer 3. apply toner to glass layer 4. blast the surface of glass with UV light. light doesn't go through toner 5. remove liquid resin, solidifies only where there was no toner 6. top surface wobbly, apply a layer of wax to flatten it 7. use milling cutter to take material down to uniform thickness 8. rewrite photo mask for new layer and repeat

Additive Processes

-originally developed for creating prototype parts during product development cycles (1980'w) -"rapid prototyping" "tool free" or "free form' processes -usually cheaper and faster than making single components -early materials were poor quality -modern processes can be used to produce parts with a variety of material types: polymers, ceramics, metals, composites, even living cells

Stairstepping

-problem with process depending on the resolution of that process -surfaces not perpendicular to slice plane are approximated by layered geometry -layer thickness can be reduced to reduce this effect, but generally increases processing time -minimum and maximum layer thickness are dependent on specific process and mahcine -post processing can also be used to remove stairstepping geometry

Traditional Machining Limitations

-residual stresses and/or unwanted distortion of final part -burrs -delicate or complex geometries may be difficult or impossible many materials are difficult to machine (especially high strength, high hardness materials)

Resolution vs Accuracy

-resolution: smallest feature that can be created using a given process (voxel size: the spot size of the laser) -accuracy: how close the final geometry is to the intended geometry (large combination of factors determines accuracy, depending on the process) -accuracy issues can come from thermal expansion from laser beams

Chemical Machining Steps

-several different methods to make a masking layer: -cut and eel -scribe and peel -screen printing -photo-patterning -etch rates are slow (depth/time) in comparison to other NTM processes, but process happens over entire surface simultaneously

Electron Beam Melting Process

-similar to SLS but uses electron beam instead of laser -E beam usage means material must be electrically conductive and process must be performed in vacuum (mostly used for metals) -e beam has higher power than laser, producing denser metals, better mechanical properties than SLS -vacuum means cleaner environment

Ultrasonic Consolidation

-similar to laminated object manufacturing but uses ultrasonic vibration to fuse the layers together -usually uses metal foil -makes very dense final materials **great mechanical properties (especially if you use sintering or heat treatment step at the end) -short build times -wasteful

Machining

-the process of removing unwanted material from work-piece in the from of chips to obtain a finished product of the desired shape, size, and finish -capable of producing a wide variety of precision, surface finishes and speeds -most products require machining at some stage of production

Build Time vs Thickness

-thinner layers look better but take much more time to build -thick layers also take more time than medium layer thickness b/c laser takes a longer time to cure each layer

Defects in Etching

-typically occur due to dirt or something being on the surface or products pf the chemical reaction building up -overhang: deep cuts with improper agitation -islands: isolated high spots from dirt, residual maskant, or work material in-homogeneity -dishing: thinning in center due to improper agitation or stacking of parts in tank

Thermal Machining: Thermal Deburring

-used to remove burrs and fins by exposing the work piece to hot corrosive gases for a short period of time -technically a "thermo-chemical" process -thermo deburring can remove burrs or fins from almost any material but is especially effective with materials of low thermal conductivity

Thermal Machining: Plasma Arc Cutting (PAC)

-uses a super heated stream of electrically ionized gas (plasma) to melt and remove material -PAC can be used on exotic materials at high machining rates -material has to be electrically conductive

Cutting Parameters - Turning Processes

1. Cutting Speed (V) -primary cutting motion -velocity of work piece relative to the cutting tool (units: feet per minute fpm) 2. Feed Rate (f) -amount of material removed per revolution or per pass of tool over work piece 3. Depth of Cut (d) -distance tool engages work piece * can control all 3 * as V increases, surface finish gets better * as f increases, surface finish gets worse * higher d >> process goes quicker, but requires more force

Deposition Based Processes

1. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 2. Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM)/ Ultrasonic Consolidation 3. Laser Engineering Net Shaping (LENS)/ Direct Metal Deposition (DMD) -instead of curing locally in a uniform layer of raw material, the raw material is only deposited where needed -some methods fuse together plastic filament (FDM) or solid layers of material (laminated, ultrasonic) to form the final product.Others fuse powder or wire to the solid product via localized melting (LENS, DMD)

Powder Based Processes

1. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)/ Selective Laser Melting (SLM) 2. Sintermask 3. Electron Beam Melting (EBM) 4. Three Dimensional (3D) Printing -all use some form of powder that is joined by melting/sintering particles together (SLS, EBM, SLM) or by the addition of a liquid under material (3D) **All produce very little waste -solid powder provides mechanical support >> no support structures needed

Liquid Based Processes

1. Stereolithography 2. Solid round Curing (SGC) 3. Inkjet Deposition (ID) or Droplet Deposition Manufacturing (DDM) -rely on selective exposure of photo-polymer (SLA & SGC) or meting/solidification of low melting point material (ID & DMM)

Assuming the descending platform (elevator platform) has just been moved down, place the following steps of the Solid Ground Curing process in the order in which they would occur.

1. a thin layer of uncured resin is spread on the elevator platform 2. material is exposed to UV radiation through a rewritable photo-mask 3. Uncured liquid resin is removed from the platform 4. A layer of liquid wax is applied and solidified 5. A milling operation is performed to planarize (flatten) the surface

Basic Process Steps

1. create digital model 2. process geometry into layers 3. deposit material, layer by layer 4. (optional) post processing -sintering, firing, additional curing -finishing or polishing -removing uncured resin -removing supports/ posts

4 basic physical components of any machining process

1. machine tool or machining center 2. work-piece 3. work-holding device 4. cutting tool -these components plus cutting parameters determine final quality

7 basic chip formation processes

1. turning 2. sawing 3. grinding 4. milling (most broadly applied and flexible) 5. broaching (least common) 6. drilling 7. shaping or planing (depends whether the tool or work piece is held stationary

Material Removal

1.Mechanical Machining: -turning -milling -drilling -boring -sawing 2. Nontraditional Machining -etching -electroplating -electrodishcharge machining -water jet -laser beam

Forces and Power in Machining

Sintermask Solid Ground Curing

Original Additive Process

Stereolithography -platform starts at the top of the UV curable polymer layer -computer takes geometry and writes them out using UV laser beam -platform moves down so new liquid layer comes over top of it and laser writes out the next slice plane - builds layers up to create prototype

EDM Processes

Two major types: 1. Sinker EDM- tool is lowered down and vaporizes material away as it comes close to work piece, they never actually touch, makes interesting 3D geometry 2. Wire EDM- tool is a bit of wire, charge between wire and surrounding work piece, wire vaporizes nearby material as it moves along a path, only capable of producing 2D parts, creates very unique surface finish

Uses and Applications
