Designing for Additive Metals

17 STRATASYS DIRECT MANUFACTURING

• Extreme example of “burn”

“BURN”

• Supported area does not have “burn”

1.5in

18 STRATASYS DIRECT MANUFACTURING

TYPICAL BURN

19 STRATASYS DIRECT MANUFACTURING

• Are required• Made of the same build material

“SUPPORTS”

20 STRATASYS DIRECT MANUFACTURING

• Horizontal up to 30 degrees• 30 degree to 45 degree• 45 degree to 60 degree• 60 degree

SELF-SUPPORTING ANGLES

21 STRATASYS DIRECT MANUFACTURING

• Horizontal to 30 degrees always are supported• Aluminum can build at 30 degrees• All other materials require supports at 0-45 degrees

30 DEGREE

22 STRATASYS DIRECT MANUFACTURING

• 45-60 will have burn or roughness above typical• 60-Vertical will have typical overall appearance

45 and 60 DEGREE

23 STRATASYS DIRECT MANUFACTURING

• Full supports are required

HORIZONTAL SURFACES

24 STRATASYS DIRECT MANUFACTURING

• Arched tops can eliminate the need for supports

Build Set-Up

32 STRATASYS DIRECT MANUFACTURING

• Maximum round is 9.7 inches• Maximum square is 8.5 inches

START HERE…

33 STRATASYS DIRECT MANUFACTURING

• Max height is about eight inches• Layout optimized for best performance

PART POPULATION

34 STRATASYS DIRECT MANUFACTURING

• Orientate part• Attach solid supports• Fill with lattice support

TYPICAL BUILD SETUP

35 STRATASYS DIRECT MANUFACTURING

Controlling The Process

36 STRATASYS DIRECT MANUFACTURING

Customer-Manufacturer mutual understanding of application and the component demandsIdentify the anticipated AM benefit

• Part consolidation• lead time savings• cost or design integration tool

APPLICATION EVALUATION

37 STRATASYS DIRECT MANUFACTURING

• Identify risk regions including small features, thin walls, hover hangings, trapped volumes

• Redesign for the process or accept the known risk • Adjust part file in Solidworks/Magics to add solid support and encasements• Position part on build scene in Magics• Support file with various strategies of hatch supports

GEOMETRY EVALUATION

Supports Required

38 STRATASYS DIRECT MANUFACTURING

Two Facilities: Austin TX and Belton TXSixteen Laser Based Metal Powder Bed Machines

• 9 (Austin)• 7 (Belton)

Eight Different Materials

MACHINE FLEET AND STRUCTURE

39 STRATASYS DIRECT MANUFACTURING

• Disseminate identical parameter sets across machines. • Any changes undergo a document process change request.• The parameters are rev controlled to ensure parts built today can be

built identically in the future.

COMMANDING THE FLEET

40 STRATASYS DIRECT MANUFACTURING

To prevent power disturbances, both DMLS sites have back-up power systems.

This helps maintain efficiencies and mitigate the risk of interrupted builds.

MAINTAINING POWER

42 STRATASYS DIRECT MANUFACTURING

Manufacturing Metrics

Work Order – Operation Sign OffJOB TRACKING

43 STRATASYS DIRECT MANUFACTURING

• Serial numbers designate machine, build, and location

• Allows for complete traceability all the way back to the raw material used/mixed

PART SERIALIZATION

44 STRATASYS DIRECT MANUFACTURING

Part Cutups

• Monitors quality from all machines

• Part specific quality check coupon cutups

• Geometry representative samples

• Metallographic reports
