BACKGROUND
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Engineering Laboratory (EL) System Integration Division (SID) requires a software system to formalize the development of the consistent interpretation of additive manufacturing of metal parts. The software will be used to develop an ExPRESS model for communicating the geometry build parameters for the fabrication of an additively manufactured part in powder bed fusion systems.
Additive manufacturing refers to a class of emerging manufacturing technologies for producing highly-complex, customized components by joining materials to make objects based on three-dimensional (3D) model data, typically built layer upon layer. Parts are fabricated directly from a 3D computer-aided design (CAD) file that is virtually sliced into many thin layers and sent to an additive manufacturing (AM) system where each layer is incrementally formed. Several AM processes and systems have been developed over the past two decades and their capabilities have grown significantly. Generally, metal-based additive processes form parts by melting or sintering material in powder form until all layers are completed. Additive manufacturing is capable of manufacturing parts that are not possible to make with conventional machining. High throughput additive manufacturing builds on these principles with additional considerations such as faster processing times, increased automation, and more streamlined processes achieved through advances in areas such as processing technology, sensor-based process monitoring capabilities, and process modeling and simulation capabilities.
