Analysis of the machining process of short carbon fiber-reinforced polyamide additive manufactured parts

摘要

In recent years, additive manufacturing technologies have revolutionized the production of parts, particularly in the aeronautical sector. This new manufacturing paradigm has created significant challenges and opportunities for researchers in materials and manufacturing processes. One important aspect is the development of optimal strategies for finishing-oriented machining of parts produced through additive manufacturing. This article focuses on the analysis of reinforced polyamide materials and the integration of large-scale additive manufacturing using Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) technology, along with robotic systems for subtractive machining. The aim is to explore the potential of integrating additive and subtractive processes to produce high-quality, large-scale components. The study examines the production and subsequent machining of reinforced polyamide parts using BAAM technology, showcasing the advantages and promising results observed. By combining additive manufacturing with subtractive machining, this research contributes to the ongoing advancements in the field of manufacturing, particularly in relation to reinforced polyamide materials. The findings presented in this article shed light on the potential of integrating additive and subtractive processes in the manufacturing industry, paving the way for more efficient and high-quality production methods.
