Open Access Theses & Dissertations
The use of hybrid additive manufacturing (AM) systems is a novel approach in the fabrication of multi-functional parts. 3D printed electronics are an example of multi-functional parts fabricated using the Foundry Multi3D System, a hybrid AM system. Previous research has demonstrated the capabilities of the system by manufacturing RF antennas and satellite panels with embedded electronics, to name a few. However, research to identify design clearances and establish a manufacturing process plan had not been performed. The purpose of this manuscript is to determine the correct clearances for foreign components to be inserted unto a partially printed substrate. Besides this …
Impact Of Temperature And Screw Speed On Material Meso-Structure And Tensile Strength In Large Area Pellet-Fed Additive Manufacturing, Xavier Jimenez Guzman
Impact Of Temperature And Screw Speed On Material Meso-Structure And Tensile Strength In Large Area Pellet-Fed Additive Manufacturing, Xavier Jimenez Guzman
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
Evolution in additive manufacturing, specifically in material extrusion, has resulted in large-scale machines capable of extruding thermoplastic-matrix composite materials in higher volumes to fabricate products for large-scale applications. As with small- and medium-scale material extrusion, the properties of the final product often correlate directly with the bevy of print parameters employed. The current research was performed to evaluate the effects of the screw speed and temperature on an ABS 20%wt. carbon fiber thermoplastic processed on a Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM, Cincinnati Inc) machine. Five screw speeds (50, 150, 250, 350 and 400 rpm) and three extruder temperature profiles were …
