Abstract Surface quality in material extrusion of polymers (MEX/P) plays a critical role in determining the functional performance of printed parts, especially in components that must work together and in sectors such as medical and aerospace. Predicting surface quality before printing shall be therefore considered [...]
Abstract The project aims to develop and optimize the additive manufacturing of metal parts using Metal Extrusion (MEX/M) as an alternative to conventional metal powder-based technologies, with the goal of reducing costs, energy consumption, and the risks associated with the handling of raw materials. The [...]
Abstract The variety of equipment implementing laser triangulation technology for 3D scanning makes it difficult to analyse their performance, comparability, and traceability. In this study, three laser triangulation sensors arranged in different configurations are analysed using high precision spheres made of different materials and surface [...]
Abstract Additive Manufacturing (AM) is advancing technologically towards the production of components for high-demand mechanical applications with stringent dimensional accuracy, leveraging metallic and ceramic raw materials. The AM process for ceramic components, known as Ultraviolet Laser Stereolithography (SLA), enables the fabrication of unique parts or [...]
Abstract The implementation of in-situ sensing solutions to monitor additive manufacturing processes has seen a significant surge in recent years, notably in processes where localised heating is used. These technologies, however, have not always yielded accurate information about final part quality, due to differences between [...]
Abstract The characteristics of additively manufactured parts (topological optimisation, freedom of design …) present a challenge from a metrological point of view. In this respect, non-contact inspection is of great importance for the rapid verification of this type of parts. However, their particular characteristics (stair-effect, [...]
Abstract Material Extrusion (MEX) currently stands as the most widespread Additive Manufacturing (AM) process, but part quality deficiencies remain a barrier to its generalized industrial adoption. Quality control in MEX is a complex task as extrusion performance impacts the consistency of mechanical properties and the [...]
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to provide a new procedure for in-plane compensation of geometric errors that often appear in the layers deposited by an additive manufacturing (AM) process when building a part, regardless of the complexity of the layer geometry. The procedure [...]
Abstract Additive manufacturing has undergone a rapid development in recent decades, evolving from prototyping and individual part fabrication to fabrication of functional components and serial production. The progressive reduction of the cost per unit has transformed additive manufacturing into a viable alternative to conventional processes [...]
Abstract This Doctoral Thesis investigates the feasibility of integrating non-contact sensors based on Conoscopic Holography (CH) technology into CNC production machines for inspection and verification tasks. A practical integration methodology was developed, comprising three levels: physical installation of the sensor, calibration of the machine-sensor system, [...]
