This equipment can be installed on a single vacuum flange for mounting on a variety of vacuum systems, but linear flow systems are preferred. Our recently developed ion source can generate ribbon ion beams of high current and low divergence over a wide range of energies, but is optimized for about 1 to 5 keV, and high ion currents of up to 1A per meter breadth; breadths of several meters are possible. The current density is an order of magnitude higher than existing systems. Uniformity is intrinsically good and can be controlled in real-time. The ion source and the sputter target are mounted close to each other and to the target; the cross section of the equipment does not change as the equipment is scaled up to large dimensions. The ion beam impinges on the sputter target at the optimum angle and energy, in a field-free region, and in high vacuum. This combination of conditions is unique, and dramatically raises the sputter yield. Free choice of beam energy permits higher thermal efficiency. High vacuum means that the deposited atoms comprising the film retain the full energy of several eV that was produced in the sputtering process. The geometry further permits extremely simple and efficient jetting of reactive gases such as oxygen for the production of oxide films. The single broad-beam source has far higher current density and a far more compact layout than existing ion-beam sputtering systems, and can be installed in linear processing systems in a similar manner to linear magnetrons.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20407,"journal":{"name":"Physics Procedia","volume":"90 ","pages":"Pages 187-192"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.phpro.2017.09.057","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83421958","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 use of powder bed fusion offers advantages to make parts for dynamic applications of light weight and near-net-shape products. Due to these advantages among others, PBF may also reduce emissions and operational cost in various applications. However, there are only few life cycle assessment studies examining this subject despite its prospect to business opportunity. The application of Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) in Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) provides a distinct evaluation of material and energy consumption. LCI offers a possibility to improve knowledge of process efficiency. This study investigates effect of process sustainability in terms of raw material, energy and time consumption with PBF and CNC machining. The results of the experimental study indicated lower energy efficiency in the production process with PBF. This study revealed that specific energy consumption in PBF decreased when several components are built simultaneously than if they would be built individually. This is due to fact that energy consumption per part is lower. On the contrary, amount of energy needed to machine on part in case of CNC machining is lower when parts are done separately.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20407,"journal":{"name":"Physics Procedia","volume":"89 ","pages":"Pages 108-121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.phpro.2017.08.017","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89665779","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}

This is of particular interest for flexible manufacturing and rapid prototyping. A factor limiting the practical use is the planning of the process parameters, such as laser scan path, laser power, laser scan speed, laser spot size, dwell time, etc. This study presents a new method for calculating the error between the target shape and the current shape. The method is based on geometrical information and uses a projection of the second derivative of the target geometry unto the current geometry. By comparing the projected second derivative with the second derivative of the current geometry, the error can be calculated. Once the error has been found, a feedback control strategy can be used to update the process parameters. The new method entails that the error can be calculated without having to solve the large scale mechanical FEM as part of the planning process. This reduces the planning time and enables a simpler approach that, for the error calculation, is independent of material properties. The method is verified for a 2D feedback system for simple bends in sheet metal, using FEM simulations of the laser forming process.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20407,"journal":{"name":"Physics Procedia","volume":"89 ","pages":"Pages 148-155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.phpro.2017.08.003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77147048","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}

Three motorized driving rods are arranged so an equilateral triangle is formed by the rod's axes, on such a triangle the sphere sits. Movement is achieved by rotating the rods with precise relative speeds and by exploiting the friction between the sphere and the rods surfaces. The sphere can be held in place by gravity or by an opposing trio of rods.
