4. Agenda for Today
Exploring new materials and their applications for design and
manufacturing
• Why are new materials key to additive manufacturing growth.
• Skipping the prototype phase using materials that can be taken straight to the
manufacturing
• How composite materials are allowing sturdier items to be produced whilst
using reduced material volume

6. Why are new materials important
• Today‟s prototypes are easy. Just
save an STL file and give it to the
shop guy or service bureau.
• Accuracy. Not a big concern.
Use
• Color. Pick one.
• Material. Pick a “plastic”.

8. 3D printing for final part production up 23%
Aerospace, jewelry, and medical/dental are among the industries using 3D
printing for final parts.
3D printing for final part production up 23%
On the eve of the 3D printing industry‟s largest conference, a leading analyst firm
in the industry says the use of 3D printing for the production of parts for final
products is getting close to 30% of all 3D printing.

9. Direct to Part Manufacturing
• The use of 3D printing for final
part products continues its
long-term growth trend.
(Source: Wohlers Associates)
• “final part production created
by 3D printing processes rose
to 28.3% of the $2.2 billion
spent last year on 3D printing
products and services
worldwide”.

13. Expanded use of additive manufacturing because of
newly supported materials
“The strength of the technology is that it can
be used to produce complex individual pieces
or parts that are needed in small quantities,”
says Krüger. “A classic example from our own
product development is a new duct
system, known as a „transition duct‟, for gas
flows in gas turbines,” says Martin
Schäfer, who has been working with this
technology at Siemens CT since the late
1990s. “This curved, thin-walled part has
very small channels, and it’s extremely
difficult to make it with conventional
technologies such as casting and milling.
But with additive manufacturing, these metal
parts can be produced right from a computer in
just a few days, instead of weeks,” says
Schäfer. All rights reserved.

14. Worlds Hardest Christmas Tree
Siemens uses 3D printing processes to
speed up gas turbine repair. For certain
types of turbines, defective burner parts
are simply reprinted, reducing repair times
by as much as 90 percent. Olaf Rehme of
Siemens Corporate Technology also uses
one of the super-hard special steels that
can withstand extreme conditions.

18. Hot isostatic pressing (HIP)
•
(HIP) is a manufacturing process used to reduce the porosity of metals and
increase the density of many ceramic materials. This improves the material's
mechanical properties and workability.
• The HIP process subjects a component to both elevated temperature
and isostatic gas pressure in a high pressure containment vessel. Pressure is
applied to the material from all directions (hence the term "isostatic").
• When castings are treated with HIP, the simultaneous application of heat and
pressure eliminates internal voids and microporosity through a combination
of plastic deformation, creep, and diffusion bonding; this process improves
fatigue resistance of the component.

The Fibers do not have to run the entire length. They just have to be “long
enough.”
The minimum fiber length for a continuous fiber composite lc= critical length
sf= tensile strength of the fiber
d = diameter of the fiber
tc = shear strength of the bond between the matrix and the fiber

21. Carbon Fiber in 3D printing
• “Short Chopped Carbon Fibers” to reinforce PLA. Proto-Pasta on
KickStarter (FDM/FFF process)
• As the nylon is melted by the laser it encapsulates the carbon
fibers, leaving very tiny ends of the fiber protruding from the nylon.
Next, the machine applies another layer of nylon over the just-melted
layer: As the laser melts the subsequent layers of nylon the carbon
fibers become interwoven from layer to layer – creating a very strong
composite. http://nwrapidmfg.com/blog/2012/06/25/carbon-fiber-fillednylon-a-material-alternative/ (SLS process)
Getting fibers running in all directions would be
very valuable.

23. Graphene
Graphene can be described as a one-atom thick
layer of graphite (carbon).
High-quality graphene is strong, light, nearly
transparent and an excellent conductor of heat and
electricity.
adding graphene to polymers which are
conventionally used in 3D printing improves the
properties of the polymer in many different ways; it
improves the polymers mechanical strength as well
as its electrical and thermal conductivity
Graphenea found that the addition of as little as
0.22 percent of graphene to alumina made it 50
percent more resistant to the propagation of cracks
under strain

34. Conclusion
• Ability to print in a growing number of materials will expanding additive
manufacturing reach, especially for “direct to part” 3D printing.
• Composite materials are becoming important to addressing many of the
limitations of existing materials used in additive manufacturing.
• Mixed materials have the potential to allow designers to create entirely new
products, especially where tuning of material properties is key.
Finally!
As this is February 13, Be sure to
take home sample materials,
preferably in a heart shaped box.
