The development of additive manufacturing (AM) has allowed for production of high-value and complex parts that reduce time-to-market and cost to manufacture. A key benefit to the AM process is the capability to create lattice structures and highly complex

Measurement of Thermal Processing Variability in Powder Bed Fusion

July 24, 2018
Author(s)
Jarred C. Heigel, Eric P. Whitenton
Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is an additive manufacturing (AM) technology used to manufacture high-value metal parts. The layer-by-layer nature of the process allows complex geometries and internal features, such as conformal cooling channels, to be

Residual Stress in Additive Manufactured Nickel Alloy 625 Parts

June 29, 2018
Author(s)
Lindsey B. Bass, Justin L Milner, Thomas Gnaupel-Herold, Shawn P. Moylan
One of the key barriers to widespread adoption of additive manufacturing (AM) for metal parts is the build-up of residual stresses. In the laser-based powder bed fusion process, a laser selectively fuses metal powder layer by layer, generating significant

Machining behavior of additively manufactured and cast-wrought nickel-based super alloy (IN625)

June 22, 2018

Michael Gomez, Jarred C. Heigel, Tony Schmitz
This paper investigates the cutting forces during the machining of additively manufactured metals. Two pairs of workpieces were produced by powder bed direct metal selective laser sintering. These workpieces included a 17-4 stainless steel substrate

Implementation of Advanced Laser Control Strategies for Powder Bed Fusion Systems

June 21, 2018
Author(s)
Ho Yeung, Brandon Lane, Alkan Donmez, Jason Fox, Jorge Neira
Laser path, scan speed, and laser power are critical machine parameters determining the quality of the output of laser-based powder bed fusion (LPBF) processes. A jerk-limited control strategy is implemented for laser path planning on a LPBF additive
