“…This might be sufficient for simple parts, but in more complex cases the correct parametrization and hierarchies in the feature tree are fundamental to perform redesign activities and AfAM. Furthermore, it is essential to have high unconstrained parametric part designs, to enable future design iterations (Montero et al, 2019), this is key to realize fast improvements after a potential failed print job. Common causes for failed print jobs using L-PBF are an unperfected set of machine parameters, large cross-sections, insufficient support structure and inappropriate posttreatment.…”

“…The latter have a less open design space which makes it more challenging to apply it, since old spares designs have been created with a different industry mindset. The application of AfAM is a complex task and sometimes requires numerous design iterations to successfully produce the AM spare (Montero et al, 2019). When these adaptions are utilized incorrectly, AM could produce parts of an inferior quality that were more expensive to fabricate (Ballardini et al, 2018).…”

Additive Manufacturing is doing its first steps in the production of spare parts. Usually the spares belong to legacy systems, and the tooling to produce them is no longer available. Re-designing spares that are designed for a previous industry mindset can be sometimes challenging. In this study a rather classic design approach is compared to a functional driven approach. Four case studies from different clients are reported, remarking the benefits and drawbacks of using design for additive manufacturing practices in Laser Powder Bed Fusion.

Additive manufacturing, including fused deposition modelling, is a growing technology opening up wide perspectives in material sciences. However, the ability to produce suitable fire-retarded materials via this process has never been studied extensively. This work focuses on understanding the relation between reaction to fire and numerous additive manufacturing parameters. The goal was to determine the impact of those parameters on standard fire tests such as flame propagation test (UL94V) and cone calorimetry. The results were compared with material samples formulated via usual processes. On one hand, flame propagation results are impacted by many additive manufacturing parameters, such as the design of the part and the material flow. On the other hand, cone calorimeter results are only influenced by parameters having an impact on the sample mass.

“…Among the reasons for the intense research focus in this area are the rapid improvements of the AM systems, machine manufacturer updates and lack of industrial applications. Industrial usage is growing since AM started to be adopted as a well-established manufacturing method (Montero et al, 2019). There has been some effort in creating generic standard test artefacts for the benchmarking of different AM processes (Yang and Anam, 2014).…”

Commercially available metal Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) systems are steadily evolving. Thus, design limitations narrow and the diversity of achievable geometries widens. This progress leads researchers to create innovative benchmarks to understand the new system capabilities. Thereby, designers can update their knowledge base in design for additive manufacturing (DfAM). To date, there are plenty of geometrical benchmarks that seek to develop generic test artefacts. Still, they are often complex to measure, and the information they deliver may not be relevant to some designers. This article proposes a geometrical benchmarking approach for metal L-PBF systems based on the designer needs. Furthermore, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) characteristics enhance the approach. A practical use-case is presented, consisting of developing, manufacturing, and measuring a meaningful and straightforward geometric test artefact. Moreover, optical measuring systems are used to create a tailored uncertainty map for benchmarking two different L-PBF systems.
