Publication number: 20210069790Abstract: A computing device for controlling the operation of an additive manufacturing machine comprises a memory element and a processing element. The memory element is configured to store a three-dimensional model of a part to be manufactured, wherein the three-dimensional model defines a plurality of cross sections of the part. The processing element is in communication with the memory element. The processing element is configured to receive the three-dimensional model, determine a plurality of paths, each path including a plurality of parallel lines, determine a radiation beam power for each line, such that the radiation beam power varies non-linearly according to a length of the line, and determine a radiation beam scan speed for each line, such that the radiation beam scan speed is a function of a temperature of a material used to manufacture the part, the length of the line, and the radiation beam power for the line.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2020Publication date: March 11, 2021Applicant: Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, LLCInventors: Christian Barr, Wesley Everhart

Publication number: 20190138668Abstract: A system and method for improving the simulation of machining effects in an object on computer-aided design models by imparting micro level machining stress and strain effects on a macro part model in a time-realistic manner. A reference machining operation is performed on a micro reference model. A transfer map based on a pre-machining stress-strain gradient and a post-machining stress-strain gradient is created. A machining operation is then performed on the macro part model with the pre-machining stress-strain gradient and the post-machining stress-strain gradient being mapped to the macro part model. The macro level machining operation and mapping are performed in a time-realistic manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2017Publication date: May 9, 2019Applicant: HONEYWELL FEDERAL MANUFACTURING & TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: ERIC SAWYER, Jordan Herrema, Wesley Everhart
