Robotic machining efficiency and accuracy are limited by milling vibration and chatter. Robot dynamic characteristics are strongly dependent on the poses; therefore, acquiring the robot dynamic characteristics in any pose is important for vibration suppression and chatter avoidance in large-range machining. This paper proposes an incremental self-excitation method for effectively identifying low-frequency frequency response functions (FRF) of milling robots. A fully knowable and controllable excitation increment can be achieved by attaching a mass block at the robot end, which overcomes the shortcoming of the traditional self-excitation methods that cannot obtain the dynamic compliance magnitude. With appropriate trajectory programming, this method can be carried out automatically in the poses of interest without manual operations. First, the impulse (moment) of the incremental self-excitation is modeled based on momentum theorem, and the association model of the pulse response increment with the incremental self-excitation is established. For the problem that the FRF calculation process is sensitive to noise, the incremental self-excitation is assumed to be a Gaussian pulse, and its identification method is provided. Then, the dimensionality requirement for identifying the 9-item (direct and cross) FRFs is reduced using the modal directionality of milling robots, and the corresponding FRF calculation method is proposed. The rationality of the required simplifications and assumptions of this method is verified by experiments and calculations. The experimental results in several robot poses show that the proposed method can effectively identify all the direct and cross FRFs in the low-frequency band.

3D-printed blocks with drop coating could work as diffraction gratings while the layer stepping serves as the grooves of the gratings. The paper reports 3D-printed diffraction gratings coated with different resins. A collimated laser with a wavelength of 520 nm passed through the gratings and generated diffraction patterns. Optical path differences and surface profiles of the samples were measured to analyze the mechanism of the diffraction phenomenon. The as-printed samples had a grating height of about 8 μm induced by layer stepping, which could not generate clear diffraction patterns because of too large optical path difference. After being coated with different resins on the surfaces, the printed samples generated diffraction patterns. We experimentally showed that the magnitude of optical path differences became close to the wavelength of the laser and that the diffraction phenomenon was mainly caused by the difference in the refractive indices between the as-printed part and the drop-coated part. This novel method enables low-cost 3D printers to fabricate diffractive optical elements for visible light.

Advancements of additive manufacturing enable fabrication of in vitro biomimetic grafts leveraging biological materials and cells for various biomedical applications. The realization of such biofabrication typically requires time from minutes to hours depending on the scale and complexity of the models. During direct biofabrication, cell sedimentation with the resultant aggregation is extensively deemed to be one of the acute problems for precise and reliable inkjet-based bioprinting. It often results in highly unstable droplet formation, nozzle clogging, and non-uniformity of post-printing cell distribution. Our previous study has implemented active bioink circulation to mitigate cell sedimentation and aggregation within the bioink reservoir. This study focuses on the comparison of post-printing cell distribution within formed microspheres and one-layer sheets with and without active circulation. The experimental results have demonstrated the significant improvement in post-printing cell distribution under implemented active circulation. Moreover, the printed sheet samples are subject to 3-day incubation to investigate the effect of cell distribution on cell viability and proliferation. It shows that compared to non-uniform cell distribution the uniform cell distribution significantly improves cell viability (92% vs 77% at Day 3) and cell proliferation (3.3 times vs 1.7 times at Day 3). The preliminary results in this letter have demonstrated not only the high effectiveness of the active bioink circulation to improve post-printing cell distribution within microspheres and one-layer sheets, but also the critical role of the uniform post-printing cell distribution in promoting cell viability and proliferation.

High-strength and corrosion-resistant materials, such as the nickel-based superalloy Inconel 718, are widely used in the energy and aerospace industries. However, machining these materials results in high process forces and significant tool wear. This tool wear has a negative effect on the resulting surface topography. Nevertheless, the accuracy requirements for functional surfaces are extreme high. Simulation systems can be used to design these processes. However, time-consuming and cost-intensive experiments often have to be conducted to develop and parameterize the required models. To overcome this problem, an analogy test setup for in-process measurements of wear-dependent properties was developed, which allows a multi-level evaluation of the process. By combining different measurement techniques, wear-dependent process characteristics can be determined and analyzed and, thus significantly reducing the measurement effort typically required.

Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) enables 3D printing of large high-value metal components. However, integrating WAAM into production lines requires a critical understanding of the influence of process parameters on the resulting material characteristics. As such, this research investigates the relationship between WAAM wire feed speed (WFS) and torch speed (TS) on the resulting mechanical characteristics of 316LSi thick parts (2.5 cm - 0.98 in). The experimental procedure is informed by a training matrix that allows parametric analysis of WFS and TS on the ultimate tensile strength (σult), yield strength (σy), elastic modulus (E), failure strain (εf), hardness (HV0.5) and dimensional accuracy (Da) of the printed samples. The research found that WAAM-processed 316LSi parts feature isotropic material properties despite variations in WFS and TS. The developed surrogate model offers five significant polynomial models capable of accurately predicting the influence of WAAM process parameters on σult, σy, εf, E and Da. The research found TS to be the most significant WAAM process parameter in comparison to WFS for σult and εy. On the contrary σy, E and Da were found to be primarily driven by WFS as opposed to TS. Overall, the paper for the first time presents an accurate surrogate model to predict the mechanical characteristics of WAAM 316LSi thick parts informed by wire feed speed and torch speed. The study demonstrates that the mechanical properties of WAAM-processed steel are primarily influenced by the underlying process parameters offering significant potential for tunable performance.

Vision-based robots have been utilized for pick-and-place operations by their ability to find object poses. As they progress into handling a variety of objects with cluttered state, more flexible and lightweight operations have been presented. In this paper, an autonomous robotic bin-picking platform which combines human demonstration with a collaborative robot for the flexibility of the objects and YOLOv5 neural network model for the faster object localization without prior CAD models or dataset in the training. After simple human demonstration of which target object to pick and place, the raw color and depth images were refined, and the one on top of the bin was utilized to create synthetic images and annotations for the YOLOv5 model. To pick up the target object, the point cloud was lifted using the depth data corresponding to the result of the trained YOLOv5 model, and the object pose was estimated through matching them by Iterative Closest Points (ICP) algorithm. After picking up the target object, the robot placed it where the user defined in the previous human demonstration stage. From the result of experiments with four types of objects and four human demonstrations, it took a total of 0.5 seconds to recognize the target object and estimate the object pose. The success rate of object detection was 95.6%, and the pick-and-place motion of all the found objects were successful.

In recent years there has been increasing use of thin-walled structures with a plate thickness of 6mm-10mm in the construction of cruise ships. As one of the important processes of cruise ship construction, hybrid laser-arc welding, combing the advantages of laser welding and arc welding, is increasingly applied in thin-walled cruise ships with the objective of reducing panel deformation. However, due to the weak stiffness of the thin-walled structure with a continuous weld length of 4m-16m, complex welding deformation, e.g., buckling deformation will be prone to occur. This paper analyzed the deformation behavior of large-scale thin-walled cruise ship structures with the change of weld length, structural width, and plate thickness in hybrid laser-arc welding process. The buckling mode induced by the welding deformation is predicted based on the combination method of thermal elastic-plastic and inherent strain, as well as experimental verification. Comparing the deformation behavior of large thin-walled cruise ship structures, when the continuous weld length exceeds 7.5m during butt welding, the welding deformation mode transitions from bending deformation to buckling deformation. Comparing the buckling behavior of structures with different thicknesses at a length of 15m, a slight buckling occurs with a plate thickness of 10mm, but reducing the plate thickness to 6mm leads to severe buckling deformation with up to 7 half-wavelengths.

Abstract The progress of additive manufacturing (AM) within the last few decades has been phenomenal, progressing from a polymeric technique to a method for manufacturing metallic aerospace components. We take a look at various technological advances which have helped paved the way for this growth, focussing on European input, as currently, 54% of AM machines are sold by European manufacturers (Wohlers, Campbell, Diegel, Kowen, Mostow, and Fidan, 2022, “Wohlers Report 2022: 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing Global State of the Industry,” Wohlers Associates, ASTM International, Fort Collins, Colo., Washington, DC). We take deep dives into several critical topics including sensing and monitoring, preheating, and multi-laser technology and illustrate how these develop from research ideas into industrial products. Finally, an outlook is provided, highlighting the topics currently gaining research traction, and which are expected to be the next key breakthroughs.

The formation of porosity is a major challenge in any composite manufacturing process particularly in the absence of vacuum assistance. Highly localised injection of polymer matrix into regions of interest in a dry preform is a route to manufacturing multi-matrix fibre-reinforced composites with high filler concentrations which are otherwise difficult to achieve. Such multi-matrix fibre-reinforced composite systems, which combine multiple resins in continuous form offer improved structural performance around stress concentrators and multi-functional capabilities, unlike traditional composite materials. As the process lacks vacuum assistance, porosity becomes a primary issue to be addressed. This paper presents a rheo-kinetic coupled rapid consolidation procedure for optimizing the quality of localised matrix patches. The procedure involves manufacturing trials and analytical consolidation models to determine the best processing program for minimal voidage in the patch. The results provide a step towards an efficient manufacturing process for designing multi-matrix composites without the need for complex vacuum bag arrangements. By optimizing the quality of the localised matrix patches, the procedure described in this paper can improve the overall performance of multi-matrix composite systems. The ability to create these composites without the need for complex vacuum bag arrangements can also reduce the manufacturing cost and time associated with the manufacturing of multi-matrix fibre-reinforced composites.
