Engineering of Manufacturing Processes

Abstract The project aims to develop an integrated manufacturing and non-contact dimensional inspection system using sensors based on Conoscopic Holography (CH). To this end, these sensors will be integrated into machine tools, initially three-axis machines, by developing the necessary mounting, communication, control, and calibration systems, [...]

Influence of post-processing on the properties of multi-material parts obtained by Material Projection AM

Abstract The great geometric complexity that additive manufacturing allows in parts, together with the possibility of combining several materials in the same part, establishes a new design and manufacturing paradigm. Despite the interest of many leading sectors, the lack of standardization still makes it necessary [...]

Characterisation of the performance of a structural light digitizing sensor by using different materials and surface finishes

Abstract The advantages of non-contact digitising systems over contact systems are undeniable. They allow capturing more information per unit of time with less accessibility problems and without alter the digitised surface. Although many of these systems have been developed with the aim of replacing contact [...]

Optical characterisation of materials for precision reference spheres for use with structured light sensors

Abstract Traditionally, 3D digitizing sensors have been based on contact measurement. Given the disadvantages of this type of measurement, non-contact sensors such as structured light sensors have gained the attention of many sectors in recent years. The fact that their metrological performance is affected by [...]

Comparison of Chemical and Mechanical Surface Treatments on Metallic Precision Spheres for Using as Optical Reference Artifacts

Abstract The improvement of industrial manufacturing processes requires measurement procedures and part inspection tasks to be faster and faster while remaining effective. In this sense, the capabilities of noncontact measuring systems are of great help, not only because of the great amount of data they [...]

A procedure to integrate a CIS sensor in an additive manufacturing machine for In-situ digitizing of deposited material layers

Abstract A notable constraint to the industrial application of additive manufacturing processes is the lack of geometric accuracy of the parts produced. In-situ inspection systems, therefore, need to be developed to detect and compensate for any geometric deviations that appear during the process. This article [...]

Influence of 17-4PH stainless steel powder recycling on properties of SLM additive manufactured parts

Abstract Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes are developing quickly. These processes have several attractive qualities, however, the quality of manufactured parts still remains a major issue that needs to be addressed if it is to become a prevalent technology in the industry. In some powder [...]
