Abstract Scope |
Development and Maturation of high productivity L-PBF processing parameters must consider industry-dependent accepted post processes and quality thresholds. Additive Manufacturing for aerospace historically prioritizes material quality over process cost, whereas for automotive, reduction of process costs while maintaining an acceptable level of quality is the name of the game. Laser stirring has the potential to increase throughput and decrease part costs towards targets cited by the automotive industry. This study explores the potential impact of laser stirring on build rate and ultimate part cost, leveraging experimental data and simulation. The challenges and key phases in technology maturation and transition of laser stirring will also be illustrated. |
