Effect of path strategies on metallic parts manufactured by additive process

摘要

Metal deposition processing is well known for cladding by laser or welding process.rnNevertheless, these systems are not optimized for direct manufacturing. One of the main lockrnis the need of dedicated CAD/CAM systems to slice and generate path strategies.rnResearch at the IRCCYN laboratory (France) focus on the impact of cladding or welding headrnprogramming on dimensional properties and microstructure of the manufactured parts. In thisrncontext, path strategies are studied and different strategies are proposed and compared.rnThis paper presents results for welding path strategies. The integration of deposition head on arn6 axis robot system was used to improve slicing strategies and parts.
