Method for process control of solid state laminated molding system, process control system, continuous supply system, and structure produced by software controlled solid state lamination molding system

摘要

A method for process control of a process control system and a solid state lamination molding system capable of performing various lamination processes, such as joining, lamination, coating, and repair, is disclosed.The process control system has multiple process variables, i.e., material temperature, actuator downforce, tool force (or torque), tool position, tool angular velocity and lateral speed, spindle torque (angular velocity), filler flow rate, filler composition, track width, and The inert gas flow rate can be simultaneously measured, monitored and controlled.A feed system for continuous supply of filler to a solid state lamination molding system is also disclosed.The filler may be in the form of powder, granules, briquettes, beads, flake, wires, rods, films, scraps, sheets, blocks, or combinations thereof.Methods for producing different periodic and non periodic structures and joint using process controlled solid state lamination molding systems are also disclosed.Diagram
