additive manufacturing Extrusion based additive manufacturing metal additive manufacturing
The investment in metal additive manufacturing has improved the technology though there are still aspects of the technology that can be further studied. Extrusion based additive manufacturing (EAM) will explore lower melting point metals as printable materials. developing the printer to further explore EAM and understand the layer-by-layer deposition mechanisms and the thermal mechanisms of the EAM. To gain this understanding the thermal and oxide skin properties will be characterized. Using that information, a set of models will be created, a thermal model and a layer-by-layer deposition model. Those models will then be validated with experimental data. The layer-by-layer deposition and the thermal models will them be used to predict the shapes of the printed structures
