$700,000.00
Advancements in Pre & Post Processes Supporting Commercial Scale Production
FY 2023-24 · 2023-07-03
Summary
In this project, Burloak will perform R&D to advance the knowledge and techniques of pre and post processing aspects of metal additive manufactured components that are hindering the field’s ability to scale production for the commercialization of space and defence. Metal 3D printing is a manufacturing method that provides freedom in designing geometrically complex components and offers solutions to lower the manufacturing cost, facilitate small-production jobs and reduce material and energy waste. However, it’s imperative that alternative solutions be examined to reduce post machining of the delicate near net shape Additively Manufactured (AM) printed parts to unleash the true potential of AM.

Description
In this project, Burloak will perform R&D to advance the knowledge and techniques of pre and post processing aspects of metal additive manufactured components that are hindering the field’s ability to scale production for the commercialization of space and defence. Metal 3D printing is a manufacturing method that provides freedom in designing geometrically complex components and offers solutions to lower the manufacturing cost, facilitate small-production jobs and reduce material and energy waste. However, it’s imperative that alternative solutions be examined to reduce post machining of the delicate near net shape Additively Manufactured (AM) printed parts to unleash the true potential of AM.
Description (French)
Dans ce projet, Burloak effectuera de la R-D pour faire progresser les connaissances et les techniques des aspects de pré et post-traitement des composants de fabrication additive métallique qui entravent la capacité du domaine à mettre à l’échelle la production pour la commercialisation de l’espace et de la défense. L’impression 3D de métaux est une méthode de fabrication qui permet de concevoir librement des composants géométriquement complexes et offre des solutions pour réduire les coûts de fabrication, faciliter les travaux de petite production et réduire le gaspillage de matériaux et d’énergie. Toutefois, il est impératif d’examiner d’autres solutions pour réduire le post-usinage des pièces délicates imprimées par fabrication additive (FA) afin de libérer le véritable potentiel de la FA.
