The document provides an overview of the Additive Manufacturing Consortium (AMC). The AMC was founded to advance metal additive manufacturing technologies through collaboration between industry, government, and research organizations. Its goals are to develop shared resources, generate technical data and standards, and increase the manufacturing readiness of metal additive manufacturing processes. The AMC will coordinate technical projects and leverage multiple funding sources to benefit its member organizations.
Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is a crucial technique in the fabrication of 3D metallic structures. It is increasingly being used worldwide to reduce cost and time. Generally, AM technology is used to overcome the limitations of traditional subtractive manufacturing (SM) for fabricating large-scale components with lower buy-to-fly ratios. It became interesting for scientists and manufacturers due to its ability to produce fully dense metal parts and large near-net-shape products. WAAM is mostly used in modern industries, like aerospace industry. There are three heat sources commonly used in WAAM: metal inert gas welding (MIG), tungsten inert gas welding (TIG), and plasma arc welding (PAW). MIG is easier and more convenient than TIG and PAW because it uses a continuous wire spool with the welding torch. Unlike MIG, tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) and plasma arc welding (PAW) need an external wire feed machine to supply the additive materials. WAAM is gaining popularity in the fabrication of 3D metal components, but the process is hard to control due to its inherent residual stress and distortion, which are generated by the high thermal input from its heat sources. Distortion and residual stress are always a challenge for WAAM because they can affect the component’s geometric accuracy and drastically degrade the mechanical properties of the components.
Simulation can help in both design and process optimization for additive manufacturing industry by getting the product right the first time. Cost saving by reducing print iterations can be tremendous. The presentation covers some overview of the AM industry and specifically discusses both metal and polymer AM simulation solutions.

Design analysis and Commissioning Of High Mast Lighting PolesIOSR Journals
Along a major highway, luminaire pole structures may be seen every 101 of a mile.From documented
cases, it appears that these structures started to experience fatigue problems in the last three decades. The
general public might not be aware of the problem, because if such a failure occurs, the structure is replaced.
Those working in the fatigue area realize that this issue is a serious matter[15][16]. Clearly, the damage is
costly, costing up to thousands of dollars per occurrence. For this purpose, a high mast lighting poles are
fabricated using steel due to its high strength, ductilityproperty and wear resistance. The high mast structure
(HMS) has the characters of light weight and high cost efficiency. It possess large ratio of height (H) to least
horizontal dimension (D) that makes it more slender and wind-sensitive than any other structures[17].
Therefore, the purpose of this research is to design optimal high mast poles taking into account its specification,
environmental conditions for placement and economy. Initially, among various pole designs, the high mast pole
is considered to be in tapered section as it is more reliable and economical. Then, analysis is performed in solid
works by keeping the base section to be fixed and applying compressive load on the top section of the pole due
to heavy weight of cantilever mast arm and luminaire. This project illustrates the theoretical basis and the
analytical development of the high mast lighting poles
Pre-processing of data coming from a laser-EMAT system for non-destructive te...ISA Interchange
Non destructive test systems are increasingly applied in the industrial context for their strong potentialities in improving and standardizing quality control. Especially in the intermediate manufacturing stages, early detection of defects on semi-finished products allow their direction towards later production processes according to their quality, with consequent considerable savings in time, energy, materials and work. However, the raw data coming from non destructive test systems are not always immediately suitable for sophisticated defect detection algorithms, due to noise and disturbances which are unavoidable, especially in harsh operating conditions, such as the ones which are typical of the steelmaking cycle. The paper describes some pre-processing operations which are required in order to exploit the data coming from a non destructive test system. Such a system is based on the joint exploitation of Laser and Electro-Magnetic Acoustic Transducer technologies and is applied to the detection of surface and sub-surface cracks in cold and hot steel slabs.

Additive manufacturing, more professionally called rapid prototyping will bring us to a new reality of unusual and customizable object production. It involves the creation of a three dimensional object by laying down successive layers of materials. An automated method whereby 3D objects of realistic size are swiftly made on a reasonable sized machine connected to a computer containing blueprints for the objects. These physical working models are produced from a digital file by printing layer by layer. It helps to make substantial models of objects either designed using a CAD program or scanned using a 3D scanner. This ground-breaking method for creating models with the use of inkjet expertise saves time and cost by eliminating the need to design; print and amalgamate together separate model parts. Objects with different colors and multiple materials can be made out of these printers. This technology is not only used for prototyping but also helps in manufacturing right from home. It is used in a variety of industries including footwear, architecture, medical, aerospace, engineering and construction, and a number of consumer products. This industrial revolution bridges a gap between the cyberspace and the physical world and is therefore likely to play some part in all our futures.

These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled Biz Models for Hi-Tech Products to analyze the business model for ETS’s testing and simulation services for carbon nanotubes (CNTs). CNTs have unique characteristics that make them useful for many hi-tech systems for the military and consumer electronics. However, life cycle testing and simulation are needed for CNTs to be effectively used in these applications. ETS provides these kinds of services for military and consumer electronics firms and would like to add CNTs to its expertise. These slides describe the specific value proposition for military and consumer electronic firms and other aspects of the business model such as the method of value capture, scope of activities, and method of strategic control.

15. Realities of Metal Additive
Manufacturing
Relatively few U.S. industrial applications
beyond prototyping. Some perceptions:
- Performance of AM components not sufficiently
characterized
- ROI not sufficiently understood to support business
justification
- Not sufficiently productive, cost effective, or capable of
producing part sizes and alloys needed
Multidisciplinary solutions are needed
- No one company has the capacity to address all the
needs
- Shared investment is needed to quickly close gaps
16. Additive Manufacturing…. Need
for Collaboration
Pooling of Resources
Developing from MRL 1–9 at each OEM is costly/time consuming
Network of end users, OEMs, service bureaus and academia
Need more coordinated effort…. generate a critical mass
Business Case
Cost modeling, Need mature process costs
Technical Challenges
Material property database
Process development/distortion control
Equipment OEMs
Voice of the Customer… size capacity, build times, etc.
Controls/Requirements
Design rules/guidelines for AM, F42 Committee
Low cost input materials
Cost effective NDE
Process control (real time)
17. Collaboration Needed
Wide Range of Processes Necessitates Investigating
Each Process in Detail – this is very expensive and requires
collaboration
Initial Acceptance Values Based on LAM Process Form
Lower Bound for Tensile Properties, Typical for
Fatigue Crack Initiation
Stage 2 Evaluation of Several Processes Necessary to
Fully Validate Use of LAM Values for All Approvals of
Proposed AMS 4999 Revision
Stage 2 Evaluation of 6 to 7 Processes Needed for
Certainty of Generating MMPDS Allowables
18. AM in Europe
