Process Parameter Optimization With Numerical Modelling And Experimentation Design Of Binder Jet Additive Manufacturing, Sairam Vangapally Jan 2017

Process Parameter Optimization With Numerical Modelling And Experimentation Design Of Binder Jet Additive Manufacturing, Sairam Vangapally

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

Binder jetting technology is an additive manufacturing technology in which powder materials are binded together layer by layer forming the product from input CAD model. The process involves printing the product layer by layer, curing and sintering. The mechanical properties of 3D printed samples varies based on process parameters, hence there is a need to tune the process parameters for optimal characteristics. Three main parameters namely layer thickness, sintering time and sintering temperature were identified and the study focuses on the effect of parameters on dimensional accuracy and compressive strength of the samples. Full factorial experimental approach was used to …
