AFPR : Association Fabrication & Prototypage Rapide Rapid Manufacturing & Prototyping AssociationFDM working group :« Direct Metal & Ceramics Manufacturing » working group
FDM working groupDirectMetal Fabrication Created in december 2005 Goal : To contribute to the use of materials and processes for direct manufacturing with respect to quality constraints from industry. How? Materials and processes qualification of depending on the standards applied in each domain (industry). Standardization of Direct Manufacturing by formalizing the best practices (tools/materials/processes)
The challenges of Direct Manufacturing • Economical challenges: • Reduction, even suppression, of fixes costs • Time - to - market reduction • Customized manufacturing • Business stakes: • Extend the market beyond Rapid Prototyping • Move to industrial production • Keeping Additive Manufacturing on the market
Relevant Technologies • Selective Powder Sintering • Using laser • Using electron beam Machines(dense material): Arcam Concept Laser EOS * MCP-HEK * Phenix Systems * Trumpf * * Available within the FDM group Source : Phenix Systems
Selective Powder Sintering Technology Finishing operation CAD files Machine controller Technology 1 2 3 Selective Sintering Powder platform Powder deposition Source : Trumpf
Concerned Technologies • Selective Powder Injection and melting by laser usingcoaxial nozzle Machines : Optomec * POM Trumpf * * Available within the FDM group Source : ENISE
AFPR 2005 Trophies As examples of patricular interests of these technologies Best Technology Best Part aluminum TiAl6V4 • ENISE • Multimatérial parts manufactured by the DIPI laboratory at ENISE with a PM 100 machine from Phenix Systems. Materials: Steel 904L + Cu/Sn CLFA & ENSMP parts manufactured by the CLFA Fraunhofer ILT and the Center of Materials P.M. Fourt at ENSMP with a TrumaForm LF 250 from TRUMPF.
Thematic groupsof the FDM working group • Technologies group This group deals with the information exchanges and work related to direct manufacturing technologies : Selective Projection or Melting. The work content is related to the different technologies of the machines, to their capability in terms of materials, geometry, … and also to the process control technics and prediction of part quality. • Materials groupThis group focuses its activity on the materials used in the additive manufacturing technologies, especially on powders. The supply of the feedstock materials is an important issue to consider, as an aspect fully integrated to the manufacturing chain. • « Call for projects » group This group is in charge of monitoring, collecting and transfering information to the working group members about call for projects related to direct manufacturing at regional, national, european or international levels.
