Abstract Scope |
The naval enterprise faces ongoing readiness challenges with rapidly obtaining parts. Digital manufacturing technologies such as additive manufacturing (AM) offer the unique ability to produce parts of tailored needs and complex geometries from a digital file. This presentation examines the repeatability of production quality polymer AM systems over multiple builds at multiple sites both within a single system and across multiple systems. Mechanical properties tested include tensile, short beam shear, flexural, and compression in different orientations. The variation seen at different sites, mimicking differences in handling and internal procedures when printing occurs at different naval locations, will also be discussed. |
