Such simple structures limit further improvements in the overall performance of co-continuous piezoelectric composites. In this study, based on the digital light processing 3D printing method, we investigated the influence of three different structures–the gyroid, diamond, and woodpile interfaces–on the piezoelectric and mechanical properties of co-continuous ceramic/polymer piezoelectric composites. These findings demonstrate that the gyroid and diamond interfaces outperformed the ceramic skeleton of the woodpile interface in terms of both mechanical and electrical properties.

Emerging L-PBF systems have large build volumes and several lasers that operate simultaneously. Hence, they can produce large and complex parts at reduced costs and short build times. However, the thermal distortion remains a critical challenge. Hence, a thorough understanding of the impact of multiple lasers on part distortion in multi-laser PBF (ML-PBF) is imperative. Although experimental investigation is possible, a more conducive approach is to design and create suitable predictive models to understand the impact of multiple lasers consolidating a part into layers. To fulfill this goal, in this study, a commercially available and widely used thermo-mechanical model, Netfabb, was used to investigate the effects of multiple lasers for complex scan patterns such as raster, spiral, and Hilbert on the temperature distribution and thermal distortion. The results show that the thermal distortion is minimal for the spiral scan pattern. Additionally, multiple lasers were found to decrease the build time (as expected) while maintaining or reducing the thermal distortion compared with their single-laser counterparts for all scan patterns (except Hilbert). Therefore, the newly developed ML-PBF predictive model is capable of providing critical insights into the effects of using multiple lasers, thereby opening new possibilities for the faster production of complex parts. In the future, small-scale computational models will be expanded to include large-scale parts, and probabilistic models will be developed to establish correlations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100243,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering: Additive Manufacturing Frontiers","volume":"2 4","pages":"Article 100103"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772665723000429/pdfft?md5=4f9ec77d90f0af569dc7aa14c327cb33&pid=1-s2.0-S2772665723000429-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135371424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The accuracy of the entire process including the forming and sintering accuracy of ceramics greatly limits the application scope, and high-accuracy ceramic samples can meet the usage requirements in many scenarios. The orthogonal experiment was designed with four process parameters, including nozzle internal diameter, filling rate, printing layer height/nozzle internal diameter, and printing speed, to investigate the evolution of the DIW forming accuracy, sintering shrinkage rate and surface roughness of metakaolin-based ceramics with different process parameters. The influence of each process parameter and its mechanism were analyzed to obtain the DIW parameters for high-accuracy metakaolin ceramics. Multiple linear regression models between the dimensional change rate, surface roughness, and process parameters of the ceramic samples were established and validated. The results show that comprehensively considering the forming accuracy of the ceramic green bodies, sintering shrinkage rate and surface roughness, the optimal DIW process parameters were a 0.41 mm nozzle internal diameter, 100% filling rate, 50% printing layer height/nozzle internal diameter, and a 15 mm/s printing speed. Multiple linear regression models were developed for the process parameters and the printing accuracy, sintering shrinkage rate and surface roughness. The error rates between the theoretical results obtained by substituting the optimal process parameters into the multiple linear regression models and the actual results obtained by printing the samples with the optimal parameters were extremely small, all less than 0.8%.
