| Abstract Scope |
The timely fabrication of large, complex metallic structures is a persistent challenge for America’s industrial base as schedules for large parts, i.e one to two feet cube and larger, are routinely defined in months and years; introducing unacceptable risk and cost for most products. On-going work is addressing these challenges using a large-scale hybrid metal manufacturing system which combines multi-material metal inert gas (MIG) deposition, fringe projection scanning metrology, part handling and five-axis machining. The integration, capabilities and challenges of the hybrid process flow will be demonstrated through the processing of mild steel structures. Geometric control of final part shape is a research focus as work is addressing multiple elements associated with part distortion due to internal stresses, complex geometry path planning, real-time process monitoring and control, and finish machining. |
