Keynote Presentation 8:00am-8:45am Breaking Barriers in Additive Manufacturing Dr. Lonnie Love, Oak Ridge National Laboratory Additive Manufacturing has the potential to revolutionize many industries. However, there are still many barriers (size, speed, cost) that must be broken before wide spread adoption of the technology is economically viable. The focus of this talk is on scientifc breakthroughs in materials and processes that can open up new industries and applications for additive manufacturing. One example is the ability to control microstructure within a single part through the electron beam process. This process holds the potential to go beyond fexibility in geometry to include fexibility and control of mechanical properties within a geometry. Another example is the impact carbon fber has on additive manufacturing. Printed composite structures signifcantly change strength, stiffness as well as thermal conductivity and the coeffcient of thermal expansion. Use of these materials enable 'out of oven' additive manufacturing, breaking size and speed barriers. Example applications include, robotics, rapid low-cost tooling as well as the development of "printed" vehicles. multi-material components will be highlighted. Finally, case studies involving real life application of DMD technology to create high performance components will be discussed. 9:45am-10:15am The Realities of Additive Manufacturing – Cutting Through the Hype Dustin Lindley, Univ,of Cincinnati Research Institute Additive Manufacturing is everywhere. It's diffcult to hear a media story about manufacturing without the promise of additive being mentioned. While AM does hold promise, the realities of that promise for industrial part production are very different from what is reported in popular media. From GE Aviation to NASA to research institutes, Dustin Lindley has seen when AM makes sense...and when it doesn't. Join him as he discusses barriers of entrance, actual part production issues and safety concerns. 10:30am-11:00am Additive Manufacturing Solutions Stratasys An overview of the Additive Manufacturing /3D Printing and its evolution, exploring the solutions and benefts realized by using these tools in manufacturing and prototyping. The emphasis will be on applications in work environments to reduce production time, increase design-for-manufacturing or prototyping freedom, also time and cost savings. Transfer programs, then grown as a Prototype Part (including testing for suitability) and fnally, mass- produced using Linear's AM technology. At Linear, AM now means Actual Manufacturing and we are integrating additive & subtractive technologies into our Customer's Supply Chain. The result is bottom line benefts to our Customers in the form of saving and profts! Lunch Keynote Presentation 12:00pm-1:30pm Hybrid CNC Machines: A New Platform for AM Dr. Jason Jones, Hybrid Manufacturing Technologies Decades of prototyping have driven the system design and optimization of Additive Manufacturing (AM). While prototyping continues to be a major application, the market has reached an infexion point, where the production of end-use parts is beginning to surpass prototype models. This transition prompts re-evaluation of existing self- contained printer architectures to consider how to better merge AM with conventional manufacturing processes. Since 2012, the integration of AM technologies into mainstream CNC, is garnering attention. More than just a re-packaging exercise for deposition technologies, this new implementation empowers CNC machines to multi-task with an expanded range of additive or subtractive tools as needed. This combination promises to enable part production, which is less wasteful than machining, yet more productive and precise than AM alone. In addition, it reduces the adoption cycle of AM by enabling its implementation using CAD/CAM and NC programming familiar to CNC users. Furthermore, retroftting CNC machines with AM TUESDAY | 10.20.15 additiveconference.com 7 October 20-21, 2015 | @learnadditive | Additive Technologies for Industrial Production 8:45am-9:15am In-Process 3D Geometry Measurement and Reconstruction for Direct Metal Laser Sintering Donald Godfrey, Honeywell Despite the signifcant promise of 3D Printing technologies such as Direct Metal Laser Sintering – DMLS – three problems still remain that inhibit further adoption of the technology: metallurgical quality, geometric accuracy, and production speed / productivity. Measuring the geometry of a part during the direct metal laser sintering additive manufacturing process is a major challenge of in-process quality monitoring. This presentation demonstrates a novel technique based on well-known image processing algorithms to extract calibrated geometry information from a photograph of each layer of the part. The technique provides near real time geometry information during the DLMS process. The resolution and measurement error of this method are discussed. 9:15am-9:45am Performance Enhancement using Multi-Material Manufacturing Capability of Direct Metal Deposition (DMD) Dr. Bhaskar Dutta, DM3D Multi-material manufacturing is a unique attribute of the additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. Adding desired material at select locations on a given part can enhance performance of the part by many folds. Direct Metal Deposition (DMD) is a directed energy deposition (DED) technology that allows this capability. This presentation will give an overview of the DMD technology highlighting its multi-material manufacturing capability. Microstructures and properties of some DMD processed materials will be discussed and selection criteria for example 11:00am-11:30am Laser Deposition Technology for Additive Manufacturing Rob Mudge, RPM Innovations The presentation will give an overview of Laser Freeform Manufacturing for aerospace, DOD, and industrial applications. Various applications will be shown and discussed to understand where the technology can be utilized with a focus on large scale freeform manufacturing. An equipment overview which will highlight various capabilities will also be presented. 11:30am-12:00pm Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chain (AMSC) Bruce Colter, Linear Mold & Engineering Founded in 2003, Linear Mold & Engineering Inc. is the leading provider of an Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chain ("AMSC") that utilizes Additive Manufacturing ("AM"), other CAD based advanced manufacturing technologies and traditional manufacturing to produce metal prototypes and production parts. With a long- term focus on improving performance for its customers, Linear has developed a systematic and strategic coordination of advanced & traditional business functions across the supply chain that delivers effcient and economical solutions. Linear has accelerated the curve in AM adoption and the practical application of Advanced Manufacturing in the Supply Chain. We have demonstrated that we can go beyond making "cool parts" and deliver real products (in real quantities) that work in Airplanes, Automobiles, Turbines, Space Ships, Oil & Gas Drilling, and Life-saving/Life-improving Medical applications. We will show 3D Metal Printing Case Studies of how a Product is designed through an R&D; process using Linear's Technology brings a new price point to additive metal and maximizes utility of existing capital assets. This presentation highlights the nature of parts that can be made, repaired and enhanced cost effectively using hybrid processing. An expanding range of applications will be possible in the future as CNC is solidifed as a viable platform for AM. 1:30pm-2:00pm Solid State 3D Printing – Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing Mark Norfold, Fabrisonic, LLC Ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) is a solid state metal 3D printing process that produces true metallurgical bonds with full density and works with a variety of metals such as aluminum, copper, stainless steel, and titanium. In combining additive and subtractive process capabilities, UAM can create deep slots, hollow, latticed, or honeycombed internal structures, and other complex geometries impossible with conventional subtractive manufacturing processes. Additionally, the solid state nature of the UAM bond allows for welding of dissimilar metals. This enables dissimilar metal cladding, production of custom metal matrix composites, and the ability to embed objects or sensors in a metal substrate. Through the use of UAM technology, Fabrisonic can manufacture complex parts that have unique features and attributes not possible using traditional manufacturing techniques. Program is subject to change.
