Abstract

An additive Manufacturing (AM) process has been introduced to fabricate three-dimension objects from liquid polymers and powder particles e.g. polymers and metals, this process has been also applied to fabricate three-dimension ceramic objects called paste materials which compose of liquid and solid components. To build additive model, the paste material is extruded via pressure force through the nozzle by using ram extrusion, then the model is constructed layer-by-layer on the table to form designed shape. To improve a capability of extrusion process, the Extrusion On Demand (EOD), that refers to the ability of paste extrusion to regulate start and stop, has been developed to improve an accuracy of material deposition. This paper presents a review of process parameters that effect to extrusion on demand such as ram velocity, Dwell time, paste property and extrusion mechanisms.

Highlights

  • Additive manufacturing (AM) is a technology that fabricate three-dimensional (3D) objects by adding material layer-by-layer directly from CAD (Computer Aided Design) model [1]

  • Traditional AM technologies have been used to fabricate 3D objects based on a raw material states that are liquid-based, solid-based, and powder-based, for example liquid polymers and powder particles including polymers and metals

  • This paper presents a review of process parameters that effect to extrusion on demand such as ram velocity, Dwell time, paste property and extrusion mechanisms

Summary

Introduction

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a technology that fabricate three-dimensional (3D) objects by adding material layer-by-layer directly from CAD (Computer Aided Design) model [1]. Traditional AM technologies have been used to fabricate 3D objects based on a raw material states that are liquid-based, solid-based, and powder-based, for example liquid polymers and powder particles including polymers and metals. These materials contains some disadvantages such as high melting point and high cost of raw materials [2]. To solve those disadvantages, paste materials have been applied to fabricate three-dimension parts in additive manufacturing. The paste flow is regulated by controlling the ram movement, which moves down to extrude paste material. This paper presents a review of process parameters that effect to extrusion on demand such as ram velocity, Dwell time, paste property and extrusion mechanisms
