This capability has been bolstered by the introduction of unit lattice cells and the gradation of those cells. In cases where loading varies throughout a part, it may be beneficial to use multiple, distinct lattice cell types, resulting in multi-lattice structures. In such structures, abrupt transitions between unit cell topologies may cause stress concentrations, making the boundary between unit cell types a primary failure point. Thus, these regions require careful design to ensure the overall functionality of the part. Although computational design approaches have been proposed, smooth transition regions are still difficult to achieve, especially between lattices of drastically different topologies. This work demonstrates and assesses a method for using variational autoencoders to automate the creation of transitional lattice cells, examining the factors that contribute to smooth transitions. Through computational experimentation, it was found that the smoothness of transition regions was strongly predicted by how closely the endpoints were in the latent space, whereas the number of transition intervals was not a sole predictor.","PeriodicalId":54341,"journal":{"name":"3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135857664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The deposits caused by low viscosity and the agglomerations resulting from the nonuniform mixing form the obstacles in the channel, which affect the normal flow of the slurry, theoretical outlet velocity, and interaction with other printing parameters. Therefore, it is necessary to study the effect mechanism of the obstacles on the flow. The obstacles are always irregular, which makes it difficult to directly analyze them. Irregular geometries are always composed of linear and/or arcuate elements; therefore, the obstacles can be simplified into regular geometries. In the present work, interactive elements, including line-line, line-arc, arc-arc situations are analyzed. Then, an improved multiple relaxation time lattice Boltzmann method (MRT LBM) with a pseudo external force is proposed for the flow analysis. The improved MRT LBM is combined with rheological test data to investigate cases with interactive elements, and the results are applied to reveal the general mechanism. The results show that the positions are common influencing factors, which affect the streamlines, outflow directions, and outlet velocity distributions. In addition, in different situations, different factors are considered to affect SiC slurry flow. It is obvious that the existed obstacles inevitably change the theoretical flow direction and outlet velocity, which has a synergistic effect on the printing parameters.

Herein, we take a square wave micromixer and a three-dimensional (3D) circular micromixer as examples to characterize the size deviation. We reconstruct the surface model of the micromixer from CT scan data, which is referred to as the reconstructed model, and extract the central axis of the micromixer reconstructed model. Subsequently, a dividing plane perpendicular to the central axis is established, which is then used to cut the reconstructed model to obtain the cross-sectional contour of the channel. Finally, size inspection is conducted on the extracted cross-sectional contour.
