Résumé : |
The need to reduce costs and cycle times while maintaining or improving quality and repeatability is a well appreciated challenge across manufacturing at-large. This challenge is even more evident in composite part fabrication. This paper will discuss practical examples that demonstrate solutions across the composite part manufacturing value stream. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) has been effectively used to provide solutions for patterns, molds, pre-forms, intensifiers, caul plates, layup tools, high strength soluble mandrels, trim & drill tools, and even secondary processes like bonding fixtures. In addition to tooling, FDM is also being successfully used for consumable cores that are being laminated or enveloped as an integral part of the final composite part.
The ability to combine solid modeling with a digitally mastered, lights-out, environmentally friendly manufacturing process, which can produce everything from tooling to parts, enables new options for design, manufacturing and production. With these capabilities, companies can take advantage of the flexibility to rapidly respond to a wide range of needs. Today’s composite manufacturing market is dynamic and demands new solutions.
This paper presents specific case studies in which FDM has been utilized to provide beneficial solutions for composite tooling and manufacturing. |
