With the advances of the robotic-assisted AM process, the surface roughness and accuracy during the repairing process can be evaluated online upon layer-by-layer process. In order to fulfill the efficient and on-site requirements for repairing damage in structural components, this study explores the method including in situ repairing, laser point clouds online collection, and repairing path planning based on multi-axial additive manufacturing of composites. A repair algorithm is proposed incorporating point clouds collection, measurement evaluation, and path planning. Furthermore, relevant mechanical measurements have been conducted, so as to assess the interface degree of recovery.

The effect that the higher-order scale morphologies had on wettability was investigated. The dual-scale morphology elevated the hydrophobicity of the surfaces compared to single-scale or unmodified surfaces, reaching superhydrophobicity (151°) in the case of a certain triangular profile. Rectangular and triangular profiles facilitated the higher contact angles, while re-entrant geometries were able to totally prevent cavity wetting. A correlation of static contact angle with roughness parameters of the larger scale such as Ra, Rz, Rp, Rsk, and Rku for certain geometry configurations was identified. Peak hydrophobicity resulted at Ra = 70 μm, Rz = 240 μm, and Rp = 160 μm concerning simple geometries. Negative Rsk and Rku > 1.5 affected negatively contact angle of samples. All investigated tested types were found to reach higher hydrophobicity at moderate drop volumes (5 μl). The fabricated samples were anisotropic in at least two directions, showing decreased hydrophobicity in the front, parallel to the groove direction. When tested in multi-directional dynamic tilting up to 90°, the more complicated geometries were able to retain resistance to spreading. All samples demonstrated superliquiphilicity with lower surface tension liquids, making them strong candidate in applications such as oil/water separation.

Using the reliability sensitivity analysis method, the key geometric errors were identified and optimized.

Parallelepiped samples with a through hole were produced using AISI 316L and 17-4PH powders, differing for diameter (3, 4, 5 mm), and position of the axes with respect to the building plane (6, 9, 12 mm distance). Dimensions and geometrical characteristics were measured at green and sintered state by a coordinate measuring machine, determining the dimensional change and the geometrical characteristics. As expected, the shrinkage of linear dimensions is anisotropic; moreover, change in volume and sintered density are significantly affected by the position in the printing chamber. Higher shrinkage was measured along building direction (Z) – 18.5 ÷ 19.5%, than in the building plane – 16.5 ÷ 17.5%, and slightly higher shrinkage – 0.5 ÷ 0.8% was measured along powder spreading direction (X) than binder injection direction (Y). A variation up to 3% in relative density of sintered parts depending on the position in the building plane was observed in 316L. The dimensional change of diameters generally confirmed the shrinkage predicted by the model previously developed—difference between real and expected dimensional changes lower than 3%, except for three geometries (4 ÷ 6%). The cylindricity form error of sintered parts was strongly underestimated by the prediction model (up to 0.15 mm), but underestimation was considerably reduced (generally lower than 0.05 mm) adding the cylindricity form error due to printing. Dimensional and geometrical accuracy of holes are strongly affected by shape distortion of the parallelepiped geometry, in turn due to layer shifting and inhomogeneous green density during printing, and to the effect of frictional forces with trays during sintering. Gravity load effect was also observed on the holes closest to the building plane.

Nevertheless, automating the handling of limp flexible materials like fabrics remains a challenging process, often relying on multi-stage manual operations for hand layups. In this study, carbon fabric properties were initially characterized through standard experiments to develop and calibrate a finite element (FE) model. The FE model was subsequently validated against real-world pick-and-place tests involving soft robotic grippers. The validation results demonstrated a high correlation between the FE model and experiments, achieving an average accuracy of 97.2% for fabric projected area and 84.6% for fabric vertices’ displacement. Additionally, the FE model was used to design, evaluate, and optimize alternative automation strategies. It was discovered that a convex surface improved fabric projection area and placement accuracy by 5.9% and 1.9%, respectively, compared to a concave surface with the same curvature radius. Larger concave surfaces contributed to increased projected area and placement accuracy as well. Longitudinal pick-and-place operations also enhanced the projection area and placement accuracy compared to transverse handling processes. Achieving successful fabric pick-and-place operations necessitates a comprehensive system’s approach, considering the interaction between grippers, fabric, and mold surface. The FE model developed in this study will be further employed by the current research team in designing innovative compliant grippers tailored to complex mold surface geometries and specific fabric material requirements.
