Oral Presentation

Additive Manufacturing Service Providers (AMSPs) have rapidly emerged with the increasing demand for mass-customized products. Evolving in a highly competitive market, AMSPs must provide accurate quotes, including price and delivery time, within a few minutes. Often receiving incomplete product manufacturing information (PMI), AMSPs face significant challenges in anticipating deviations...

Oral Presentation

Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) is widely used to manufacture complex metallic components. However, low-angle overhang features generally require support structures to prevent distortion and build failure. Conventional contact supports provide mechanical and thermal assistance during the manufacturing process. However, they must be removed after manufacturing, which increases post-processing...

Oral Presentation

Hybrid additive-subtractive manufacturing parts made from hybrid powder-wrought tool steel using laser powder bed fusion have proven to be a cost-effective strategy for injection moulding tool applications. This article reports the development of a hybrid powder-wrought hardened stainless alloy steel, with balanced strength and hardness, for such applications. In this study, the mechanical...

31. Root Cause Investigation of Dimensional Deviations in Precision CNC Machining of Additively Manufactured Components Using Support Structures as Fixtures

Post-processing of AM parts

Oral Presentation

Metal additive manufacturing enables the production of complex near net shape geometries but remains limited in achieving the dimensional tolerances required for functional assembly features. Consequently, post process CNC machining is commonly employed within hybrid AM-CNC workflows to manufacture precision features. A potential advantage of this approach is the direct use of additively...
