3d Printing For Solving Part Obscolescence, Ayman G. Alqarni
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this research was to highlight the issue of parts obsolescence and to highlight the possibility of using alternative methods to overcome parts shortage. Specifically, this thesis sought to answer the research question: is the three-dimensional printing technology (3D) an applicable approach to overcome part obsolescence. The research question was answered through data research and survey analysis. Notwithstanding, the diminished manufacturing sources and material shortages (DMSMS) management and other existing approaches, such as forecasting, contracting, and reverse engineering (RE), were discussed briefly in the literature review and profoundly in chapter IV to differentiate among applicable existing solutions toward …

3d Printing Orientation Optimization Based On Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm, Dai Ning, Lisong Ou, Renkai Huang, Liu Hao
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: Part orientation is one of the key technologies in 3D Printing,which has important influence on the surface precision, machining time and machining cost of the part. This problem is a research hot point of how to balance the surface precision and machining time. The improved Non-dominated Sorting Genetic algorithm was proposed to solve the problem of part orientation optimization. The mathematical model of part surface accuracy and machining time were constructed. The chromosome model of part orientation and the adaptive crowding distance were established. The genetic operators of select, crossover and mutation were used to get a set of …

Conduction Mapping For Quality Control Of Laser Powder Bed Fusion Additive Manufacturing, Chance M. Baxter
Theses and Dissertations
A process was developed to identify potential defects in previous layers of Selective Laser Melting (SLM) Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) 3D printed metal parts using a mid-IR thermal camera to track infrared 3.8-4 m band emission over time as the part cooled to ambient temperature. Efforts focused on identifying anomalies in thermal conduction. To simplify the approach and reduce the need for significant computation, no attempts were made to calibrate measured intensity, extract surface temperature, apply machine learning, or compare measured cool-down behavior to computer model predictions. Raw intensity cool-down curves were fit to a simplified functional form designed to …
