ON LOCATION (2/4)IMPACT

[email protected] 14/12/2016

How raw materials condition is linked with the process and supply

chain:

Environment (moisture, contamination)

Storage conditions (time, containers, ambient)

Supply (frequency, supplier, transportation, quality)

Operation (powder reuse)

Cost (quality vs. price?)

Sustainability (energy & resources consumption)

Supply (frequency, quality)

ON LOCATION (4/4)WRAP-UP

Various parameters have effect on

process and powder properties.

The aim of the research is to identify

the most relevant ones and quantify its

influence.

Next steps are identifying the effects in

AM builds and testing its influence on

the mechanical properties.

FAILURE BEHAVIOR PRINTED PARTS (2/3)DISCUSSION

• Top-down approach for

parts selection

• Narrow to few potential –

interesting cases

• Representative to SINTAS

project partners:

Failure

Material

Shape / Design

Case study

• Selection of spare parts to

print from a reduced group

• Adjust material, process

and parameters

• Understand and perform

quality testing depending

on:

Potential failures

Material properties

Part printed
