3d Printing Orientation Optimization Based On Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm, Dai Ning, Lisong Ou, Renkai Huang, Liu Hao Aug 2020

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 Mar 2020

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 …


Anisotropic Shear Behavior Of Rock Joint Based On 3d Printing Technology, Xu Xunhui, Zhang Guobiao, Bao Han, Yan Changgen Feb 2020

Anisotropic Shear Behavior Of Rock Joint Based On 3d Printing Technology, Xu Xunhui, Zhang Guobiao, Bao Han, Yan Changgen

Coal Geology & Exploration

Topography is an important factor affecting the shear behavior of joint. Furthermore, there are certain connections between the anisotropy of topography and the anisotropy of shear behavior. In this study, 3D laser scanning technology and 3D printing technology were used to make molds for simulating the topography of natural joint. Then, the cement mortar samples with dimension of 100 mm×100 mm×150 mm were cast, and shear tests with different shear directions under different normal stresses were conducted. The results indicate that obvious anisotropy has been shown in the joint shear behavior, which is reflected in the peak shear strength and …


A Fabrication-Oriented Remeshing Method For Auxetic Pattern Extraction, Levend Mehmet Mert, Ulaş Yaman, Yusuf Sahi̇lli̇oğlu Jan 2020

A Fabrication-Oriented Remeshing Method For Auxetic Pattern Extraction, Levend Mehmet Mert, Ulaş Yaman, Yusuf Sahi̇lli̇oğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

We propose a method for extracting auxetic patterns from meshes for fabrication by modifying the existing mesh primitives directly and fully automatically. This direct approach is novel in the sense that most of the fabricationoriented surface tiling methods introduce additional primitives, such as curve networks in an interactive semiautomatic framework. Our method is based on a remeshing procedure that converts a given quad mesh with arbitrary topology into our desired structure that is ready to be fabricated. The main advantages of establishing auxetic patterns on meshes are the achieved flexibility using cheap inflexible materials as well as less material usage …
