| Abstract Scope |
For Additive Manufacturing to be used in critical applications, part certification is critical. Furthermore, the printer is only one step in any manufacturing chain, with every physical link in this chain requiring a corresponding “digital twin” as part of any robust certification process. In this presentation, the Digital Platform at Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility will be discussed. This platform integrates data from in-situ sensors, feedstock provenance, machine maintenance and calibration histories, and metrology characterizations. Each part’s digital twin is defined as a list of operations (e.g. additive prints, heat treatments, subtractive machining, tensile tests) each with associated in-situ and meta data. The Digital Platform enables not only classical certification schemas, but also the use of Artificial Intelligence for defect detection, process control, and prediction of part performance. Examples from the Transformational Challenge Reactor program will be explored, and selected data analytics tools will be described. |
