Abstract Scope |
Hybrid additive manufacturing can be troublesome when implementing process parameters using existing hardware which makes this research field increasingly prominent. Even after the integration of crucial hardware components necessary for Hybrid AM, there is no suitable software package capable of efficient toolpath planning of multi-material and multi-functional materials. Topology-optimized design would benefit from a planned process using hybrid manufacturing with simple electronics packaging design because of the need for optimized functional structures in the aerospace and automotive industries. The scope of this research takes multi-axis CNC toolpath strategies for syringe-deposited conductive inks over additively manufactured topology-optimized structures. A hybrid manufacturing machine utilizing multiple tools is used for the implementation of drone frame design with embedded signal and power transfer for electronic components. The resistivity and adhesion of multi-material structures are studied alongside existing manufacturing processes to show the validity of the new process using optical microscopy. |
