Important results from the project
The planned collaboration with Cambridge University was successfully established, and the project resulted in the development of a method for geometry and deformation compensation in metal FFF. The work also led to a scientific publication describing geometry characterization throughout the entire process, which was one of the objective of the project. In addition to these planned results, the collaboration created new research contacts that led to a follow-up project in remanufacturing.
Expected long term effects
The established collaboration with Cambridge University lays the foundation for a long-term research exchange and enables joint projects in additive manufacturing, remanufacturing and AI-based deformation compensation. The method development made in geometry characterization and analysis of the metal FFF process chain will contribute to more robust, precise and industrially applicable manufacturing methods.
Approach and implementation
The project was carried out according to the plan that was based on a research visit to Cambridge University. During the visit, tests were carried out in their laboratory environment, data was collected through CT scanning, and this data was then used to develop a method for deformation compensation in the metal FFF process. The arrangement enabled close collaboration with researchers at Cambridge and provided access to equipment, which made it possible to carry out the method development.
