Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates generally to the field of additive manufacturing, and more specifically to hybrid additive manufacturing processes that are configured to cast a three- dimensional object layer by layer within an additively constructed shaping structure.
  • additive manufacturing has evolved into a diversified technology domain and become an efficient and increasingly viable path for direct fabrication of high value parts.
  • This new manufacturing approach employs digital manufacturing in free form fabrication, eliminates traditional tooling, replaces subtractive machining, and offers a variety of methods for rapid prototyping whereas limited production of parts from various materials such as but not limited to plastic and metal.
  • the most challenging hurdle to additive manufacturing for widespread production stands in production speed and cost especially for metal part
  • the directed energy deposition processes are capable to produce much larger parts.
  • higher deposition rates create issues of poor geometric accuracy and dimensional resolutions and increased surface roughness due to thick layers, wide metal beads, and lack of deposition precision.
  • significant thermal stresses can build up in metal parts which may cause part distortion and even cracking.
  • the current directed energy deposition techniques can only construct metal parts in relatively simple geometries without supports.
  • casting is an approach to production of metal parts through pouring and solidification of liquid metals in refractory molds.
  • metal parts can be cast in various sizes, geometries, and quantities that cannot be fabricated as feasibly or economically with other conventional metalworking techniques such as powder metallurgy, metal injection molding, forging, and extrusion.
  • preparation of casting molds requires tooling (e.g. patterns, core boxes or dies) that is normally expensive and time consuming to make.
  • Operations like sand casting often require many types of machinery and hardware for preparation and reclamation of foundry sand, mold making, core making, melting, pouring, part finishing, and metal recycling.
  • the casting concept is incorporated into additive manufacturing in the present disclosure, so that a three-dimensional object can be“cast” layer by layer in a quickly, additively constructed shaping structure or mold with good resolutions and surface definition.
  • this approach can offer unique benefits to additive manufacturing of metal, polymer or composite parts especially for medium to large ones in productivity and cost.
  • the present disclosure relates to an additive manufacturing methodology and apparatus configured to construct a shaping structure that is essentially a mold or at least a partial mold and cast a three-dimensional object incrementally in a series of mold cavities generated.
  • a liquid or semi-liquid fill material is delivered into the current shaping cavity to construct one or more layers of the three-dimensional object.
  • the portion of the three-dimensional object built may serve as a build substrate upon which additional layers of the mold or object can be constructed.
  • the construction process continues until the mold and three-dimensional object are completely constructed or built, i.e., until the mold and object are constructed to a completion level desired by a user or operator.
  • the mold and three-dimensional object therein are constructed coordinatively in the additive manufacturing process.
  • the mold defines the geometry of the three-dimensional object and is prepared to control the object dimensions and surface finish, so that the mold is preferably constructed in high resolution and dimensional accuracy settings.
  • a liquid layer thickness up to about 5 to 25 mm depending on the fill material specific gravity applies a negligible or low hydrostatic pressure to the mold, and therefore, a shell mold having a small wall thickness in several millimeters and adequate strength is feasible in order to reduce the mold build time and material consumption. Nevertheless, a larger liquid layer thickness is acceptable with an appropriate wall thickness and strength for the shell.
  • the layer thickness of the three- dimensional object should not be too small, e.g. 1 mm or less since a thin layer design may slow down the additive manufacturing process, nor too large depending on the volumetric shrinkage rate of fill material through solidification to avoid formation of shrinkage cavities or porosity in the three-dimensional object which is a main concern for traditional metal casting involving gating and riser designs. With these considerations, this additive manufacturing process allows a high throughput of liquid or semi-liquid material to fill the mold cavities and construct the three- dimensional object without compromising its dimensional tolerances and surface quality.
  • molds There are two types of molds, i.e.
  • the conjunctive type can be built for a complete mold, or a partial one, or in a combination with the disposable type.
  • a conjunctive mold can be made of a material that is the same as or different from the fill material for construction of the there-dimensional object therein.
  • the three-dimensional object can be designed and constructed with hybrid materials or gradient compositions for special functions or applications.
  • Another objective of the present disclosure is to provide an additive manufacturing method and system that is configured for hybrid manufacturing involving material extrusion, binder jet printing, material jetting, directed energy deposition, sheet lamination, powder bed fusion, or machining to construct a three-dimensional object with enhanced dimensional tolerances and surface quality.
  • a further objective of the present disclosure is to provide an additive manufacturing method and system capable of constructing a mold with cores or inserts to produce a three- dimensional object in complex geometries.
  • An additional objective of the present disclosure is to provide an additive manufacturing method and system capable of producing a three-dimensional object having hybrid or gradient compositions.
  • Still another objective of the present disclosure is to provide an additive manufacturing method and system that is configured with thermal and mechanical means to control the temperature distribution and cooling rate and apply a force to reduce internal stresses and distortion in the manufacturing of a three-dimensional object.

  • a shaping structure can be a complete mold constructed layer over layer with formation of a series of enclosed shaping cavities to contain a liquid or semi-liquid fill material regardless of the cavities being open-top or not.

  • the layer thickness of the mold and three-dimensional object can change throughout the construction process.
  • a segment of the mold can be called a“wall”, “barrier” or“enclosure” where appropriate.
  • a mold may include cores or inserts for shaping interior surfaces, cavities, channels, or complex geometries in the three-dimensional object. The difference between the cores and inserts is that the cores are generally removed in post processing, while the inserts are embedded in or joined with the three-dimensional object.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une méthodologie et un système de fabrication additive conçus pour construire une structure de mise en forme et un objet tridimensionnel en son sein dans un processus hybride faisant appel à une variété de procédés de fabrication. La structure de mise en forme est essentiellement un moule, de préférence une coque qui est construite de manière additive pour y générer une série de cavités de mise en forme. Chaque fois qu'une cavité de mise en forme est prête, un matériau de remplissage liquide ou semi-liquide y est déposé pour couler l'objet tridimensionnel de manière incrémentielle. Le moule ou l'objet tridimensionnel peut en outre être traité pour améliorer ses propriétés, la précision dimensionnelle et la qualité de surface. Dans l'objet tridimensionnel, des compositions hybrides ou à gradient peuvent être produites et les contraintes thermiques peuvent être réduites pour éliminer la distorsion par des moyens thermiques et mécaniques.
