PREDICTION OF THE SHAPE ACCURACY OF PARTS FABRICATED BY MEANS OF FLM PROCESS USING FEM SIMULATIONS
Journal Title: Journal of Machine Engineering - Year 2019, Vol 19, Issue 1
Abstract
The prediction of component properties from the Additive manufacturing (AM) process poses a challenge. Therefore, this paper presents the development of a novel machine data (G-Code) based procedure as well as its programming implementation of a process simulation in ANSYS Mechanical for the fused layer modelling (FLM) process. For this purpose, an investigation of additively produced components with varying parameters made of polylactic acid (PLA) is carried out and simulated by means of the developed method. Application of the developed method makes it possible to predict the thermally induced distortion of PLA-Parts based on the machine data from the FLM process before production.<br/><br/>

DEVELOPMENT OF TRIBO-TESTERS FOR PREDICTING METAL CUTTING FRICTION
This paper overviews some frequently used apparatus for determination of friction between the elements of tribo-pairs which represent the cutting tool and the workpiece materials. The three methods which utilize differe...
DESIGN APPROACH FOR HIGH-DYNAMIC PLANAR MOTION SYSTEMS BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF KINEMATICALLY COUPLED FORCE COMPENSATION
Machine tools’ feed dynamics are usually limited in order to reduce excitation of machine structure oscillations. Consequently, the potential increase in productivity provided by direct drives, e.g. linear motors, cannot...
