Abstract [en]

Standards may be arrived at through various coordination mechanisms, including cooperation, coopetition, or competition. This article explores how technological uncertainty affects the coordination mechanism for standardization. The article is based on the Community Innovation Survey, a sizeable firm-level survey representative of the Luxembourgish economy. The econometric analysis finds evidence that firms facing technological uncertainty will choose for standardization through competition and coopetition.

Abstract [en]

The current possibilities and constraints for tooling made by the application of Laser-based Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) is at the focus of this presentation. Design and manufacturing of production tools & dies for cold and hot working and injection molding are addressed. Solid and topology optimized tools are tested, compared with the conventionally designed and manufactured version of the same tools, and certified. The current possibilities and constraints are addressed from the material, technological and industrial perspectives. The current manufacturing readiness level and the industrialization status of metal additive manufacturing through L-PBF are evaluated.

Abstract [en]

The journey of production tools in cold working, hot working, and injection molding from rapid tooling to additive manufacturing (AM) by laser-based powder bed fusion (L-PBF) is described. The current machines and their configurations, tool steel powder materials and their properties, and the L-PBF process parameters for these materials are specified. Examples of production tools designed for and made by L-PBF are described. Efficient design, i.e., high tooling efficiency and performance in operation, should be the primary target in tool design. Topology and lattice structure optimization provide additional benefits. Using efficient design, L-PBF exhibits the greatest potential for tooling in hot working and injection molding. L-PBF yields high tooling costs, but competitive total costs in hot working and injection molding. Larger object sizes that can be made by L-PBF, a larger number of powder metals that are designed for different tooling applications, lower feedstock and L-PBF processing costs, further L-PBF productivity improvement, improved surface roughness through L-PBF, and secured quality are some of the targets for the research and development in the future. A system view, e.g., plants with a high degree of automation and eventually with cyber-physically controlled smart L-PBF inclusive manufacturing systems, is also of great significance.

Abstract [en]

This plenary presentation is focused on the coming manufacturing systems for metal additive manufacturing controlled cyber-physically. Cyber-Physically controlled Smart Additive Manufacturing system (CPSAM) is a smart additive manufacturing system for realizing Industry 4.0/Smart Manufacturing on the shop floor via a cyber-physical control scheme. CPSAM is capable of 1) autonomous abnormality resolution via MAPE/BD (Monitoring, Analysis, Planning, and Execution based on Big Data analytics and Digital twin), 2) coordination with the shop floor system and 3) seamless interface with the life cycle aspects, hierarchy levels, and humans. In other words, CPSAM is capable of intelligent and autonomous functions such as:

• dealing with abnormalities during machine operation,

• coordination with shop floor devices such as robots and material handling systems,

• augmented interaction for human-robot collaborative tasks,

• collaboration with the shop floor control system for performance optimization (Key Performance Indicators, KPIs),

• interface with the life cycle aspects, CAx (Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Engineering (CAE), Manufacturing (CAM), and Quality assurance (CAQ), and Manufacturing Resource Planning (MPR II), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), etc.),

• interface with hierarchy levels, such as Manufacturing Execution System (MES), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and Supply Chain Management (SCM).

This plenary presentation will describe the above-mentioned and the possible and ongoing standardization which will set the industrial baseline shortly.

Abstract [en]

Additive manufacturing (AM), more popularly known as 3D printing, comprises a group of technologies used to produce objects through the addition (rather than removal) of material. AM is used in many industries—aerospace and defense, automotive, consumer products, industrial products, medical devices, and architecture. AM is transforming the industry, and this industrial transformation is expected to become more comprehensive and reach a higher pace during the coming years.

Additive manufacturing of metal components with virtually no geometric limitations has enabled new product design options and opportunities, increased product performance, shorter cycle time in part production, total cost reduction, shortened lead time, improved material efficiency, more sustainable products and processes, full circularity in the economy, and new revenue streams.

This Special Issue of Metals focuses on metal additive manufacturing with respect to the topics mentioned below (please see the Keywords/Topics below). The papers presented in this Special Issue give an account of the 2020 scientific, technological, and industrial state of the art for metal additive manufacturing from different perspectives (see the Keywords/Topics below). Your contribution to this 2020 account is highly valuable and appreciated. 

The submitted contribution should address metal additive manufacturing with respect to one or several of the following topics:

  • Business models and engineering
  • Product/component design (including generative design, topology optimization, lattice and surface optimization, etc.)
  • Industrial applications (aerospace, defense, automotive, consumer, medical, and industrial products, etc.)
  • Material and process design and engineering
  • New materials
  • Powder production and characterization
  • Systems and equipment engineering
  • Post-processing
  • Process control and optimization and quality assurance
