| description | As the correlation between design rules and process limitations is of the upmost importance for the full exploitation of any manufacturing technology, we report a design guide for hybrid-additive manufacturing of Inconel 718. Basic limitations need to be evaluated for this particular hybrid approach that combines laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/M) and in situ high-speed milling. Fundamental geometric limitations are examined with regard to the minimum feasible wall thickness, cylinders, overhanging structures, and chamfers. Furthermore, geometrical restrictions due to the integrated three-axis milling process with respect to inclinations, inner angles, notches, and boreholes are investigated. From these findings, we derive design guidelines for a reliable build process using this hybrid manufacturing. Additionally, a design guideline for the hybrid-additive manufacturing approach is presented, depicting a step-to-step guide for the adjustment of constructions. To demonstrate this, a powder nozzle for a direct energy deposition (DED-LB/M) process is redesigned following the previously defined guidelines. This redesign encompasses analysis of the existing component and identification of problematic areas such as flat angles, leading to a new construction that is suitable for a hybrid-additive manufacturing approach. |
