In this study, the recommended methodology prescribed by the standard was implemented by building geometric artifacts with a laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) system and performing dimensional inspection with a coordinate measurement machine (CMM), amongst other methods. Typical dimensional capabilities of the LPBF system are identified and commentary is made on applying metrology methods, detecting geometric error, and diagnosing base causes in the LPBF system. In doing so, favored metrology practices and measurement analysis methods auxiliary to the standard are proposed. Artifact measurements were used to characterize beam positioning error and beam offset error. Methods for decoupling the effects of error sources are proposed. Difficulties in the inspection of AM components are identified, and the effects of various CMM measurement strategies are evaluated. Insights on the application of the new standard are presented, along with commentary as to its fitness for the LPBF process.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":91947,"journal":{"name":"Procedia manufacturing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.promfg.2021.06.042","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"54983907","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}

Additive manufacturing processes with multi-material capabilities are well suited to manufacture multi-material structures. In this paper, a multi-material topology optimization approach has been presented using variable-density lattice structures where the geometry of the lattice structure is pre-defined. The objective of the proposed topology optimization method is to design lightweight parts with minimized compliance and thermal energy or improve the heat transfer capability. To facilitate that, a novel interpolation scheme based on the stiffness matrices of the lattice structures has been proposed. This interpolation scheme, unlike the traditional Solid Isotropic Material Penalization (SIMP) interpolation, is observed to perform better in terms of approximating the structure’s load-bearing capacity, primarily due to its formulation on the lattice’s stiffness matrices. This cubic Hermite spline-based interpolation scheme makes it amenable for gradient-based optimization methods. A sequential linear programming method has been used to solve the weighted multi-objective optimization model. A Pareto-frontier study has also been carried out to fully characterize the trade-offs between the two objectives – compliance minimization and thermal energy minimization.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":91947,"journal":{"name":"Procedia manufacturing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.promfg.2021.06.089","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"54984486","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}

Quality disseminates through the supply chains. Supply chain quality integration facilitates each company to use its main expertise which can lead to higher quality and cost reductions.

A global supply chain quality integration is illustrated through the case of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner development. The development process was a major challenge for Boeing because not only several innovations were introduced in the 787 plane, but the supply chain quality integration reached new levels for the company. The 787-program had process, management, labor, and demand risks. The first 787 plane was delivered three years later than planned and the budget was exceeded by 10 billion USD. To solve the issues, Boeing created the Production Integration Center. It sent engineers and production workers to its suppliers in several countries of the world to smooth the supply chain quality integration. Boeing supported its suppliers with its knowledge. Onsite cameras were used as digital audits. The Production Integration Center intervened when it estimated delays in the shipments. Boeing successfully solved the issues, but they cost the company a lot.
