In relation to the fourth industrial revolution, traditional manufacturing methods cannot serve flexibility demands related mass customization and small series production. Rapid tooling provided by generative has been suggested recently in context of metal forming. Due high loads applied during processes such tooling, a purposeful mechanical description additively manufactured (AM) materials is crucial. Until now, comprehensive characterization approach for AM polymers required allow...
While deep drawing of sheet metals is economical at high volumes, it can be very costly for manufacturing prototypes, mainly due to tooling costs. Additively manufactured polymer tools have the potential more cost-efficient small series, but they are softer and thus less resilient than conventional steel tools. This work aimed study dimensional precision such using a standard cup geometry. Tools were printed with FFF two different materials, PLA CF-PA. A test series 20 parts was drawn from...
Additiv gefertigte Tiefziehwerkzeuge versprechen aufgrund kürzerer Fertigungszeiten und geringerer Kosten erhebliche Vorteile bei der Produktion von Prototypen Kleinserien. Am Werkzeugmaschinenlabor (WZL) RWTH Aachen University wird erstmals ein additiv gefertigtes Kunststoffwerkzeug für das Tiefziehen eingesetzt. Durch Verknüpfen dieser Technologie mit flexiblen Fertigungsverfahren lassen sich vollfunktionsfähige Tiefziehbauteile auch kleinen Stückzahlen wirtschaftlich herstellen....
