In this study, we present a high-precision, multi-head 3D printing system that integrates advanced optical and material control to address these limitations. By employing a dual-head setup with independent focal length adjustments and paired linear polarizers, our system enables simultaneous multi-material printing and rapid iteration of fabrication parameters, significantly enhancing prototyping efficiency. We demonstrated this system's versatility by successfully fabricating diverse microstructures, and compatible with organic and inorganic components. The system can achieve a minimum feature size of sub-100 nm and the highest printing speeds of 20 mm/s with a numerical aperture (NA) of 1.3 or 0.8, balancing precision and efficiency for industrial-scale applications. Additionally, its capability to perform multi-parameter, full-field-of-view additive manufacturing facilitates a wide range of design possibilities. The potential of this technique is further illustrated through two optical applications: an 8 × 8 convex lens array and diffractive optics for high-resolution holography. The lenses exhibit exceptional surface quality and uniformity with a roughness of less than 4 nm and a peak-to-valley surface deviation is around 200 nm, while the diffractive optics achieve sub-wavelength feature resolution, demonstrating the system’s suitability for advanced optical component manufacturing.

To alleviate this, periodic microstructures are commonly used to fill target regions with repetitive units. However, generating large-scale stochastic porous structures that combine smooth connectivity with global randomness using periodic units remains a significant challenge.

High-speed synchrotron X-ray imaging was used to track the movements of Al and Sn liquids, and also to examine elemental distributions in the laser tracks, complimented by electron microscopy after solidification. Key aspects, including melt pool geometry, keyhole instability, and flow dynamics (flow pattern and velocity), were examined using digital image analysis. Relatively deeper melt pools formed at 400 W and 300 mm/s exhibited greater stability, with smooth surfaces, consistent outward flow, and minor vortices near the keyhole. In contrast, shallower pools produced at higher scanning speeds (&gt;500 mm/s) demonstrated greater instability with increased surface waviness, and stronger velocity fluctuations, leading to numerous micro-vortices and increased Al-Sn heterogeneity. Velocity scale estimations, supported by experimental observations, examined the roles of vapour pressure, Marangoni effect, buoyancy, inertial, and surface tension forces in the flow. The results revealed that vapour pressure and mechanical waves dominated at high scanning speeds (shallow pools), while Marangoni forces were equally significant in deep pools at lower speeds (300 mm/s). Buoyancy was found to have minimal impact in both cases. Furthermore, the interaction between inertial and surface tension forces played a critical role in determining the degree of waviness of the pools’ surfaces.

However, the stability of their part quality remains challenging. The temperature of the melt pool during the AM process significantly influences the quality of the manufactured parts. Therefore, breakthroughs in in-situ monitoring technology for high-temperature, small-area melt pools keep an urgent need. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a multi-eye monitoring method using a light field (LF) camera for in-situ melt pool temperature field monitoring. Initially, a LF sub-aperture Bayer model (LFSBM) is established to extract melt pool images at red, green, and blue (<em>R</em>, <em>G</em>, and <em>B</em>) wavelengths. By calibrating the LF camera’s relative spectral response ratio using the blackbody furnace, the melt pool’s temperature field is derived based on dual-wavelength theory from two images at <em>R</em>, <em>G</em>, and <em>B</em> channels. Linear fitting of the relative spectral response ratio for channel combinations of <em>B</em> and <em>G</em>, <em>R</em> and <em>B</em>, and <em>R</em> and <em>G</em> yielded root mean square errors of 76.34 K, 62.24 K, and 78.66 K, respectively. The mean error for maximum temperature was verified to be 1.03 %, and less than 3 % for temperature filed at temperatures of 2973.15 K, 3073.15 K, and 3273.15 K by the blackbody furnace. The influence of coaxial system of LPBF on wavelength intensity was calibrated. The contour error between the temperature map and the blackbody furnace was found to be less than 1.4 %. Experiments were conducted on high-entropy alloy, and Ti6Al4V alloys manufactured by both LDED and LPBF equipment, and evolution of length, width, and maximum temperature were analyzed. The proposed method simplifies the measurement process and allows for an unlimited temperature range, providing a groundbreaking approach for in-situ melt pool temperature monitoring during the AM process.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7172,"journal":{"name":"Additive manufacturing","volume":"102 ","pages":"Article 104747"},"PeriodicalIF":10.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143687817","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}

By analyzing the printability of the lattice cell, several constraints are introduced to restrict both the number of seed points and their radii within each lattice cell. Next, the relationships among the number of seed points, radii, relative density, Young’s modulus, and anisotropy of the lattice cells are analyzed using the homogenization method.
