Editor's Notes
As a noun, the word manufacture first appeared in English around 1567 A.D. As a verb, it first appeared around 1683 A.D.
Technologically, manufacturing is the application of physical and chemical processes to alter the geometry, properties, and/ or appearance of a given starting material to make parts or products; manufacturing also includes assembly of multiple parts to make products.
Economically, manufacturing is the transformation of materials into items of greater value by means of one or more processing and/or assembly operations.
The key point is that manufacturing adds value to the material by changing its shape or properties, or by combining it with other materials that have been similarly altered.
Formative manufacturing typically forms material into the desired shape via heat and pressure. The raw material can be melted down and extruded under pressure into a mold (injection molding/die casting), melted and then poured into a mold (casting) or pressed .
Formative manufacturing typically forms material into the desired shape via heat and pressure. The raw material can be melted down and extruded under pressure into a mold (injection molding/die casting), melted and then poured into a mold (casting) or pressed .
It shows the so-called sculpture puzzle, in which a three-dimensional (3D) object has to be assembled from more than 100 slices. Therefore the layers have to be arranged vertically in the right sequence using a supporting stick.
Additive manufacturing (AM) is an automated fabrication process based on layer
technology. AM integrates two main subprocesses: the physical making of each
single layer and the joining of subsequent layers in sequence to form the part.
Both processes are done simultaneously. The AM build process just requires the
3D data of the part, commonly called the virtual product model.
AM refers to a broad family of techniques that turn 3D digital designs into actual functional parts in the same way an office printer places two dimensional (2D) digital files onto pieces of paper.
ASTM defines Am as …
Compared to traditional manufacturing methods, AM does not benefit from economies of scale. This is due to two main constraints, slow deposition rates and limited built capacity.
AM is considered a more suitable technology for economically sustainable small to medium volume productions. Moreover the technology allows design complexity for free.
In traditional manufacturing methods, high level of customization might result in prohibitive manufacturing costs. This is due to high investment in modifications of the manufacturing line. This suggests that AM might have a higher product cost compared to traditional methods but if positioned correctly, the technology might give strategic advantages.
Two prehistorical approaches for production of metal parts involve sheet lamination and weld deposition .
Blanther suggested a layered method for making a mold for topographical relief maps. The method consisted of impressing topographical contour lines on a series of wax plates and cutting these wax plates on these lines. After stacking and smoothing these wax sections, one obtains both a positive and negative three-dimensional surface that corresponds to the terrain indicated by the contour lines. After suitable backing of these surfaces, a paper map is then pressed between the positive and negative forms to create a raised relief map.
Sheet lamination of non-metallic feedstock developed over the next sixty years .
The use of a moving weld head to build up objects was initially patented by Baker in 1925 [20]. Fig. 3 illustrates a sketch from the patent.
In 1971 the Frenchman Pierre Ciraud filed a patent application describing a method for manufacturing articles of any geometry by applying powdered material, e.g. metal powder, onto a substrate and solidifying it by means of a beam of energy, e.g. a laser beam. To produce an object, small particles are applied to a matrix by gravity, magnetostatics, electrostatics,
or positioned by a nozzle located near the matrix. A Laser, Electron Beam or Plasma Beam then heats the particles locally. As a consequence of this heating, the particles adhere to each other to form a continuous layer
Step 1: CAD
All AM parts must start from a software model that fully describes the external geometry
Step 2: Conversion to STL
Nearly every AM machine accepts the STL file format, which has become a de facto standard, and nowadays nearly every CAD system can output such a file format. This file describes the external closed surfaces of the original CAD model and forms the basis for calculation of the slices.
Step 3:Transfer to AM Machine and STL File Manipulation
The STL file describing the part must be transferred to the AM machine. Here, there may be some general manipulation of the file so that it is the correct size, position, and orientation for building
Step 4:Machine Setup
The AM machine must be properly set up prior to the build process. Such settings would relate to the build parameters like the material constraints, energy source, layer thickness, timings, etc.
Step 5: Build
Building the part is mainly an automated process and the machine can largely carry on without supervision. Only superficial monitoring of the machine needs to take place at this time to ensure no errors have taken place like running out of material, power or software glitches, etc
Step 6: Step 6: Removal
Once the AM machine has completed the build, the parts must be removed
Step 7: Step 7: Post-processing
Once removed from the machine, parts may require an amount of additional cleaning up before they are ready for use. Parts may be weak at this stage or they may have supporting features that must be removed. This therefore often requires time and careful, experienced manual manipulation
