WP-1

10

Research questions:1a. What parts can be produced with 3D printing ?

shape, size, complexity, material: both metal and plastics (?)1b. What quality can be achieved ?

shape tolerance, mechanical properties2a. What is the reliability and durability of typical printed parts ?

fatigue, wear, corrosion2b. How sensitive are the printed part properties for

environmental conditions, operator skills ?3. How can the effect of AM technology on the selection of an optimal maintenance policy be incorporated and how can its impact be quantified?

STATUS

11

PhD student starts Nov 15 – Laura Cordova Gonzalez

Student projects Paula Guedes (internship UT) – parts repair using AM

Niels Vluttert / Stefan Smit (BSc UT) – effect of moisture / layer thickness

PLANNED ACTIVITIES

12

Laura Cordova

Research question 1 Literature study + discussion NLR / Additive Industries

What parts can be produced ? What quality can be achieved ?

Discuss with other companies What properties are important ? Relate to quick scans

IDENTIFY WHITE SPOTS

13

Research question 2 From RQ1 + discussion with companies

What are important properties for reliability / durability ?

fatigue, wear, corrosion

Literature study + discussion NLR / Additive Industries What is the achievable level of reliability / durability of typical printed parts ? How are these properties affected by process parameters ? How sensitive are the printed part properties for

environmental conditions, operator skills ?

provides insight in what is known / unknown !

EXPERIMENTAL WORK

14

Set-up experiments to find unknown relations Define part shape / complexity / material / settings with NLR / AI Define test matrix

Which properties to test / which variations to consider ?

Partly covered by BSc projects Vluttert / Smit1. Effect of moisture in powder on mechanical properties of parts

2. Effect of layer thickness on mechanical properties of parts

APPLICATION TO MAINTENANCE

15

Set-up models to provide decision support How does maintenance decision change if AM is used

Shorter life time other replacement intervals ?

Is repair possible ?

Use printed parts only to cover lead time of original parts ?

Close link with WP2 / 3

Application in number of case studies / demonstrators of companies

EFFECT OF MOISTURENIELS VLUTTERT

16

How does moisture in powder affect the quality / properties ? Related to storage conditions of the powder

Research proposal has been finished limited literature !

Topics to be covered1. How can the amount of moisture in the metal powder be determined?

2. How much moisture can be absorbed by the metal powder?

3. Is the amount of time the moisture is in the powder important?

4. What criteria are important for the printed part and how can they be tested ?

5. What are the differences in properties between the different printed parts?

6. How can the metal powder be made ready for production, should there be moisture in the powder?

EFFECT OF LAYER THICKNESSSTEFAN SMIT

17

How does the layer thickness affect the quality / properties ? Balance between production time – quality

Experience / guidelines for various materials

EFFECT OF LAYER THICKNESS (2)STEFAN SMIT

18

Topics to be covered:1. What are the limits for the layer thickness?

Set the range to be investigated

2. What criteria are important for the printed part?

3. How can they be tested ?

4. What are the differences in properties between the different printed parts?
