Traditional composite tooling methods can act as a bottleneck for product development, posing challenges in terms of both cost and time. At the National Centre for Additive Manufacturing (NCAM), we've been enhancing our capabilities in Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM). Most recently, we've acquired a CEAD LFAM system to facilitate our research in building large parts and tools, overcoming challenges in this crucial area. Dive deeper into our research in this area with our recent case study, where we outline the innovative methods we've developed. Explore how our team engineered composite tooling that withstands high-temperature autoclave cycles, resulting in an impressive 90% reduction in lead time.

Discover the capabilities of metal additive manufacturing through our solution AM Explorer by Interspectral. As industries such as aerospace, defence and automotive increasingly demand parts with complex designs and superior mechanical properties, AM emerges as the go-to technology. However, mastering AM comes with its challenges. Build failures not only impact costs but also contribute to environmental footprints. More than half of part costs stem from post-processing and quality inspections, making it crucial to detect anomalies early in the production cycle. With AM Explorer by Interspectral uncover defects sooner, optimize profits, and meet industry demands effectively.

Our latest paper on a pioneering surface characterization method for additive manufacturing has just been published! 🚀   Traditional inspection methods struggle with the inherent inhomogeneity of additively manufactured parts. Our novel approach overcomes these limitations, ensuring precise and comprehensive quality assessment across complex geometries. By utilizing XCT scans, our method automates the evaluation of surface roughness and near-surface porosity for additively manufactured freeform parts, enabling thorough analysis of the entire surface and determining mean and extreme values of roughness parameters for statistical evaluation.   This innovative approach visualizes the spatial distribution of roughness parameters, allowing the identification of function-critical regions and facilitating targeted improvements. By correlating geometry and build process parameters with roughness metrics, our method offers valuable insights into process-structure-property relationships and evaluates correlations between near-surface porosity and surface roughness, enhancing understanding of the PBF-LB process. 🏭   This research not only enhances safety and reliability but also paves the way for more efficient and precise additive manufacturing processes. 💥 Read the full paper here and discover how our findings can revolutionize surface quality inspection! https://lnkd.in/ei9qhAeG #AdditiveManufacturing #CorrelativeCharacterization #SurfaceCharacterization #XCT #LaserBeamPowderBedFusion #QualityControl #Research #Innovation

The crucial step in delivering confidence to AM manufacturers. The power and unparalleled flexibility that comes with metal additive manufacturing is undeniable. But as it's influence and adoption grows, what steps can manufacturers take to ensure the quality and integrity of their components. Employing the right quality control and inspection measures is key to delivering the confidence in part integrity and overall quality. Non-destructive testing (NDT) is destined to play a key role in the development and widespread adoption of additive manufacturing. Find out how nonlinear resonance NDT can help by reading our latest innovations in the realm of non-destructive testing, inspection and evaluation of metal additive manufactured parts 👇 https://lnkd.in/eUYYUc2Y
