Additive Manufacturing

A data-driven approach to reliable, repeatable AM processes

KEY BENEFITS

  • Understand vital property/process relationships for reliable, repeatable AM processes
  • Accelerate delivery of AM projects by reducing the amount of experiment and testing
  • Get more from sparse, noisy project data and build AM knowledge

RELATED TOPICS

  • Materials overview
  • Manufacturing overview
  • Alloy design and development

Additive Manufacturing could be transformational – delivering lighter, stronger parts and novel product capabilities.  But it is a major challenge to design AM materials and repeatable AM processes, with high reliance on costly, time-consuming experiment and prototyping. A data-driven approach with machine learning can help you to understand how material and process parameters drive AM part performance and to focus your experimental resources effectively.

The Alchemite machine learning software builds models from real-world sparse, noisy, AM data, where other machine learning methods fail. You can gap-fill and get much more from your data. Understand critical property/process relationships. Decide which changes in material or processing will give the best results, for example, to minimise defects. And design more focused testing programs to help deliver projects faster, with up to 90% fewer experiments.

Case Studies

Project MEDAL - AMRC, Boeing, GE Additive, and Constellium

In collaboration with the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) and Boeing, Intellegens applied the Alchemite™ deep learning software to design new AM parameter sets for laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and test them for nickel base alloys across two experimental cycles. Results from the second cycle showed good agreement with the predictions. The model was then used to develop process parameters for the new additive-specific Aheadd® CP1 powder from Constellium in combination with the 400W M2 machine from GE Additive. The project team was able to move from the new powder to final parameters in just two builds, while applying no expert statistical knowledge, dramatically speeding up AM process parameter optimisation.

Process optimisation with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

At an Intellegens webinar, Gabe Guss from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory showed how Alchemite™ machine learning can be applied to predict and optimise print parameters for additively-manufactured parts. Alchemite™ gave results that compared well with alternative analytical approaches, with the added benefits of ease-of-use and the potential to rapidly model new scenarios with many parameters.

Designing a material for direct laser deposition

The process to ‘print’ materials is often poorly understood and subject to significant variation based on the exact processing parameters and conditions. In our example, limited data was available on a direct laser deposition method, consisting of only ten sets of processing variables. This dataset was not enough for traditional machine learning techniques to be able to predict the properties of a wider family of processing variables. We optimized the process using historical welding data and the available sparse direct laser deposition dataset, potentially saving years of research.

Alchemite™ for AM Package

This package provides the Alchemite™ Analytics browser-based software and the option of the Alchemite™ Engine API for integration of the Alchemite™ method with in-house workflows and tools. Alchemite™ enables you to understand how factors such as material composition, part geometry, orientation relative to the AM machine, atomization and laser parameters, and machine output signals impact properties such as porosity, defect area, toughness, elongation, hardness, and cost. You can:

  • Auto-generate and refine models that identify key property / process relationships
  • Design optimal powder properties and machine parameters to achieve target outcomes
  • Monitor production data to enable failure analysis and maintain quality control
  • Gap-fill and validate data to improve data quality
  • Apply adaptive Design of Experiments (DoE) to focus testing, saving time and expense
