Therefore, this paper develops a novel thin-walled structure with high programmability through an origami-inspired hierarchical strategy. The origami-inspired hierarchical structure (OIHS) is fabricated using Laser Powder Bed Fusion. The compressive testing reveals that the deformation of OIHS strictly adheres to the pre-set crease, resulting in a stable load-bearing process. Numerical simulations are further conducted to investigate the programmable capacity of OIHS. The results display that the folding angle <em>θ</em> can enhance the deformation stability of OIHS, but is not conducive to the load-bearing level. The module number <em>M</em> effectively tailors the number and wavelength of folding lobes in OIHS, thus improving the energy absorption and load-bearing stability. As the <em>M</em> increases from 4 to10, the SEA and CFE of OIHS increase by 36.55 % and 17.81 %, respectively. The increasing edge length of sub-cell and wall thickness contribute to the interactive effect and material utilization, respectively, which facilitate its energy absorption. Compared to the vertex-based hierarchical structures, the OIHS demonstrates a 15.78 % increase in load-bearing stability without compromising its energy absorption capacity. Ultimately, artificial neural network-based machine learning models are developed to establish forward and inverse relationships between the mechanical curves and configuration parameters of OIHS, enabling rapid prediction and tailoring of the desired compressive behavior with an error of less than 8 %.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7172,"journal":{"name":"Additive manufacturing","volume":"100 ","pages":"Article 104686"},"PeriodicalIF":10.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143349739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hybrid structures, such as those combining stiff and flexible materials, have potential applications in morphing structures, medical prosthetics, and sports goods. The performance of these structures relies heavily on the bonding at the material interface, especially with flat interfaces. Poor bonding can lead to structural failure. This study investigates the bi-material 3D printing of Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). PLA is chosen for its environmental friendliness and mechanical properties, while TPU is selected for its flexibility and deformability. The main problem is the weak bonding between PLA and TPU in Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), often causing failure in the final object. We introduce a methodology to emulate and control the 'fiber bridging' effect occurring in Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRP), which enhances interfacial strength. By designing specific patterns and strategically sequencing materials, we create robust mechanical bonds between PLA and TPU. These interface designs significantly increase toughness, improving both bi-directional and unidirectional composites by up to two orders of magnitude.

Herefore, systematic analysis of the CEBB is mandatory for process optimization concerning production efficiency and printing quality. This paper systematically describes the entire process of CEBB through analytical method, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and experimental evaluation. Taking pre-crosslinked alginate-collagen bioink as an example, we used gelatin as a sacrificial material to fabricate a double-layered hollow structural scaffold encapsulating human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). From the rheological behavior of bioink within the coaxial nozzle to the deposition of core-shell strands onto the substrate, we employed mathematical modeling and simulation for analysis, and verified the results against actual prints. A series of characterization tests were conducted to evaluate the impact of material composition and structure on the permeability, mechanical properties, and cell proliferation of the hollow bioscaffold. For potential cell damage during extrusion, we evaluated shear stress and exposure time, both direct influencing factors,which relate to feed volumetric flow rate. Based on the aforementioned research findings, we optimized the printing operation parameters and established encapsulated cell viability, print fidelity and precision, core-shell structural dimensions, and core-shell structural integrity and uniformity as evaluation criteria for CEBB processes.

Using 3D images acquired during the static printing experiments, it was possible to quantify the evolution of several key microstructure descriptors (e.g., pore and fiber volume fractions, porosity shape and size, fiber length and orientation) in various locations in the tested nozzles. All the experiments revealed that drastic microstructural changes (e.g., pore appearance/disappearance, orientation and shortening of fibers) occurred in various zones of the nozzles during material extrusion. In addition, the results highlighted the central role of the nozzle geometry (e.g., convergent angle, output channel) on the pore formation, transport and disappearance as well as on the orientation and shortening of fibers. Besides, the 3D images acquired during the dynamic (real-time) printing experiments confirmed the observations made during the interrupted tests but also emphasized the complex kinematics of pores in the cavity of the nozzles and the mechanisms at the origin of their disappearance through the convergent.

Advanced compensation models have been developed to mitigate these distortions, reducing final deviations to within 2–3 % of target dimensions. A critical factor in these models is the green density of the printed part, which varies based on printing parameters and part location within the build. This study delves into the three-dimensional spatial variation of green density in BJAM, examining two prevalent powder spreading mechanisms: a fixed powder feedstock container with a vertically movable platform and cylindrical roller spreader, and a horizontally moving hopper for powder deposition. Experiments were conducted on three directionally scaled samples to assess the influence of geometric size on green density distribution. Analysis reveals at least 5 % green density variations across different vertical positions ('part layers'), particularly in systems with extensive spreading distances due to the powder spreading and compaction process. Additionally, density discrepancies exceeding 10 % were observed within parts of the same build in larger printing systems, underscoring the impact of spatial variation on the final properties of the manufactured parts. Incorporating spatial green density variations into finite element sintering models dramatically enhances prediction accuracy, reducing errors to within 1 % (approximately 0.5 mm) of experimental results, representing a 75 % improvement over uniform density assumption.
