Abstract Scope |
High aspect ratio parts present multiple challenges in wire-arc additive manufacturing. Improper thermal management can lead to drips, sagging, and warping and, even if the temperature is properly managed, excessive warping may still occur. A large scale, high aspect ratio multi-material forming tool with channels for heating oil was built using wire-arc additive manufacturing. The tooling surface was printed with 410NiMo while the bulk of the tool was printed with L59. Tool design, reinforcement, simulation, toolpath optimization, and post-processing necessary for a successful build will be covered along with results from the finished tool. |
