20me53i Week6 Day3 Session1

This document discusses the generic additive manufacturing (AM) process. It describes the stages of building a part through AM from assigning part parameters through stages 5-8, which include: building the part, removing it from the machine, post-processing it, and applying or using the finished part. Post-processing can vary widely depending on the AM technology, purpose of the part, and part requirements. The document provides references for further information on additive manufacturing of metals and additive manufacturing technology.

Steps in Generic AM process

Stage 5: Build

Part parameters are assigned to each and every component/part to be build.


Multiple sets of part parameters can be used in the same build on different parts.
These parameters are taken into account in the slicing process that takes place in
the previous step of the process chain. As a result, the parameters chosen in the
slicer have to correspond to the actual parameters selected on the AM system.
Once part parameters are selected the building process, the build process starts
and is controlled and monitored by the AM system itself. Some feedback and in-
process monitoring systems are possible.

Stage 6: Removal

Once the RP machine has completed the build, the parts must be removed.
This may require interaction with the machine, which may have safety interlocks
to ensure for example that the operating temperatures are sufficiently low or that
there are no actively moving parts. Removal of finished part from the build plate
typically involves the use of cutting tools such as band saws, or wire EDM for
higher fidelity and flexibility.

Stage 7: Post processing

Depending on AM technology used to create the part, the purpose, and


requirements of the finished part, the post-fabrication processes can vary in a
wide range. It can require anything from no post process to several additional
steps of processing to change the surface, dimensions, and/or material properties
of the built part.
Once removed from the machine, parts may require an amount of
additional cleaning up before they are ready for use. Parts may be weak at this
stage or they may have supporting features that must be removed. This therefore
often requires time and careful, experienced manual manipulation.

Stage 8: Application

Parts may now be ready to be used. However, they may also require
additional treatment before they are acceptable for use. For example, they may
require priming and painting to give an acceptable surface texture and finish.
Treatments may be laborious and lengthy if the finishing requirements are very
demanding
