Abstract Scope |
Model Based Definition (MBD) is an emerging practice for communicating product and manufacturing information for all stages of the product life cycle. MBD presents an interesting opportunity for AM processes, which disrupt traditional product information communication with complex designs, machine process parameters, and design features that are not easily communicated with traditional 2D drawings. To implement MBD for AM comprehensively, the limitations, opportunities, and capabilities associated with each individual AM process must be characterized using metrology studies. These studies can be used to formulate comprehensive designer guidelines for a given AM process to ensure designers conform to process limitations and take advantage of the unique capabilities afforded by AM. In this paper, a summary of metrology studies performed on a variety of material jetting AM processes and machines is presented, and opportunities for additional studies are discussed. A framework for incorporating this knowledge into MBD is illustrated. |
