The Relationship

Abstract This paper addresses the fluid mechanics of the slot-coating process within the context of the layered manufacturing system. The investigation was carried out to assist with the design of a novel slot-coating-based liquid-layer-formation subsystem. This subsystem, when used as a part of a lithography-based Rapid Layered Composite parts Manufacturing (RLCM) system, successfully solves some of the difficulties encountered in the formation of thin layers from a highly viscous fibre-photopolymer composite liquid. In addition to an analytical model, the paper presents a numerical model based on a volume of fluid (VOF) algorithm. The algorithm allows (1) solution of non-steady-state problems, (2) tracking of the free surface of the fluid undergoing large deformations, and (3) easy modification of model’s domain to facilitate experimentation with coater geometry. Results from a set of simulated experiments are reported which show the relationship between the liquid coat height and several design and process parameters. Examination of cross-sections of test parts built on an RLCM prototype system confirmed the ability of the new coater design to form solid layers of good quality.

Study Case

This paper aims to collect in a structured manner different computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools especially developed for additive manufacturing (AM) that maximize the capabilities of this technology regarding product development. The flexibility of the AM process allows the manufacture of highly complex shapes that are not possible to produce by any other existing technology. This fact enables the use of some existing design tools like topology optimization that has already existed for decades and is used in limited cases, together with other novel developments like lattice design tools. These two technologies or design approaches demand a highly flexible manufacturing system to be applied and could not be used before, due to the conventional industrial process limitations. In this paper, these technologies will be described and combined together with other generic or specific design tools, introducing the study case of an additive manufactured mechanical design of a bicycle stem.
