Abstract Scope |
Metals additive manufacturing technologies, such as powder bed fusion, allow for the production of geometrically complicated components, offering significant freedom to a component designer. Although this geometric freedom can lead to novel capabilities, it also causes significant difficulty in understanding the local processing state of the material. This complexity is driven by dependence between local geometric features and the path of the energy source, leading to variations in thermal state across a component. Given a target for a kind of local thermal profile, determining “optimal” paths for an energy source remains challenging due to the overwhelming size of the geometry space. We demonstrate that zoning can be used to make this problem tractable by hierarchically grouping regions of similar desired processing state together. We showcase how this approach can be used to construct targets for scan path optimization. |
