| Abstract Scope |
Multi-nozzle molten metal jetting has the potential to significantly increase material deposition rates in metal additive manufacturing. However, concurrent deposition of molten metal tracks by an array of adjacent nozzles presents challenges with regards to heat management and surface tension related geometric distortion. This talk will present preliminary findings from Flow3D simulations of different multi-nozzle drop placement strategies. Specifically, strategies involving track spacing, drop spacing, unidirectional vs. bidirectional printing, and interlayer pause times will be explored. |
