Additive Manufacturing of Hard Materials for Structural and Biomedical Applications
Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D Printing (3DP) is an approach to process parts directly from its computer-aided design (CAD) file. AM is changing the landscapes of current industrial practices. On-demand manufacturing using AM technologies is a new trend that will significantly influence many industries and product design protocols. Since there is no need for any part-specific tooling, different parts can be built using the same machine. Most of these parts are net-shape or near-net-shape and may or may not require finishing operation. Over the last twenty-seven years, we have worked on AM of hard materials, primarily metals, and ceramics. We have used fused deposition modeling, laser-based directed energy deposition (DED), powder bed fusion (PBF), and wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) processes. Using these approaches, we have manufactured parts with compositional and functional gradation for structural and biomedical applications. My presentation will focus on some of the key success stories from our research and current challenges in the field.
