Influence of process parameters in additive manufacturing of highly reinforced 316L / SiCp composites

A sustainable circular 3D printing model for recycling metal scrap in the automotive industry

“…According to them “ with the technology currently available, AM would be able to sustain the spare parts area for end-of-life cars due to the low volume. They claim that to feed the automotive industry's demand today, AM needs to have mass production of spare parts.” Moreover, “ the solution that AM makes available for metal parts is the direct way of production using binder jetting, for example, that is, machines that manage to give us this productivity .” However, the number of machines needed for this nowadays still do not serve the market as a whole, but that does not impede that with the evolution of production we can reach that point (Xie and Dittmeyer, 2021; Riquelme et al. , 2022).…”

“…, 2021). Products ready for use immediately after the printing process are expected to go directly to the testing stage, but these can be applied if they require any unique mechanical or thermal treatments for the use they are to be put to destination (Riquelme et al. , 2022).…”

“…In engineering, 3D printing allows to try out Sustainable circular 3D printing model new prototypes, even those with complex internal structures and geometries, and to address problems and find solutions to them, which is something that traditional methods just cannot offer (Biedermann et al, 2021). Products ready for use immediately after the printing process are expected to go directly to the testing stage, but these can be applied if they require any unique mechanical or thermal treatments for the use they are to be put to destination (Riquelme et al, 2022). Thanks to the diversity of materials, 3D printing technology can produce high-value products in an industrial context using the scrap treated at the beginning of the new model design process (Xie and Dittmeyer, 2021).…”

Also, FGIs AM experts affirm that "Depending on the size of the printer and if it is not a very large part to be printed, it is possible to reach a range in the thousands in one month for a single machine".…”

Comparison of Different Additive Manufacturing Methods for 316L Stainless Steel

“…As buildup progresses, the temperature of the layers is greater than that at the initial point, so the required input heat for melting (see Equation (1)) is reduced. By linearly applying the reduction, it has been possible to keep a constant temperature in manufactured samples [ 30 ]. In this system, the layer thickness was 1000 μm.…”
