Essay on Manufacturing Procedure and Explain Various Method

The design rules are most important part in additive layer manufacturing, because based on the CAD model the manufacturing process are established in ALM technique. SO the geometry of the part are plays a vital role in ALM method. The following features are mainly consider in design under ALM methods,

·         Geometry Accuracy

·         Reproducibility

·         Surface Roughness

·         Minimum thickness

·         Minimum hole diameter

·         Gap distance

·         Tolerance between the connect region and so on.

The above mentioned design features are mainly consider before going to manufacture the product via ALM technique. The following design optimization process are must followed to perform high efficient ALM product.

·         Reduce the total number of parts

·         Lightweight

·         Design for functionality

·         Design for ease of fabrication

·          Design parts to be multifunctional

·         Business help

·         Management help

·         Cheap assignment help

The above pointed parameter are widely applied to accomplish the design optimization. The purpose of optimization is to establish the quality design before going to manufacturing the product.

The above figure shows the overall process accomplished by the additive layer manufacturing technique. Initially the 3D modelling process is performed. In that the model are created using CAD software. These are process and method that established in ALM method for both the laser and electron beam technique.

This assignment fully concentrated on laser and electron beam based powder bed ALM technique. The introduction section holds the overview based on the assign requirement which discuss the additive manufacturing procedure and explain various method involved in ALM techniques. The chapter 2 investigate the literature review according the requirement of the assignment. It includes background study which cover what are the progress are followed by the modern industries related to ALM method. The chapter 3 widely explain over methodology progress which includes laser and electron beam ALM method that cover the manufacturing progress. The manufacturing issues are appropriately discussed via design and optimization. The critical evaluation of the ALM process are fully discussed in methodology section and concluding that evaluation process of laser and electron beam based method are accomplished successfully.
