| Abstract Scope |
Scan paths have been shown to play a significant role in printing accuracy, defect generation and material quality. Open processes such as DED enable access to virtual and digital twins to path planning tools and files thus supporting a complete representation of the process and the component thermal history. Processes where path planning is not available, such as in commercial LPBF systems, pose a significant challenge to modelers limiting research efforts to trial and error and reverse engineering machine behavior before focusing on technological progress. In this presentation a DED hybrid twin consisting of physics- and data-based models will be presented. In contrast physics-based LPBF models are used to demonstrate the negative effect of inaccurate path planning knowledge on numerical predictions. As a result LPBF digital twins must represent several process unknowns as well as the material response to process parameters. |
