Abstract : "This paper deals with the numerical modelling of non-destructive testing of composite parts using active thermography. This method has emerged as a new approach for performing non-destructive testing (NDT) on continuous carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic polymer (CCFRTP) components, particularly in view of detecting porosity or delamination. In this context, our numerical model has ...

Abstract ; "Nowadays, the additive manufacturing of multifunctional materials is booming. The fused deposition modeling (FDM) process is widely used thanks to the ease with which multimaterial parts can be printed. The main limitation of this process is the mechanical properties of the parts obtained. New continuous-fiber FDM printers significantly improve mechanical properties. Another limitation ...

Abstract : "The innovative Green Ceramic Hybrid Machining (GCHM) process sequentially combines milling with a cutting tool (GCM, Green Ceramic Machining) and laser beam machining (GCLBM) of a ceramic material (black Y-TZP in this study) at the green stage mainly to increase productivity, avoid taper angle limitations of laser beam machining, and obtain micro-features. The study focuses on ...

"This paper proposes a portable 3D printed test set-up allowing to realize this transient measurement while ensuring no interaction with the outside world. Moreover the setup proposes a variation of distance to favor or not the interaction of the semiconductor with the ionizing radiation source. The main advantages of the proposed 3D setup is its adaptability to any kind of radiation source geometry ...

"In this article, dimensional and geometrical performances of two Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) printers with Cartesian architecture (Ultimaker S3 and Intamsys FUNMAT HT) are compared using an original benchmark artifact design. Five parts were printed on each printer in ABS. Five other parts were also produced with the Ultimaker S3 in PLA to show the influence of material choice on the printer’s ...

"Standards enabling the objective tolerancing and evaluation of dimensional and geometrical performances of additive manufacturing (AM) printers are still missing. The design, printing and measurements of geometrical benchmark test artefacts (GBTA) is the current solution proposed in literature. However, the current GBTA with fixed dimensions cannot cover most of the available printing area of ...

"The micro manufacturing of ceramic components is technologically challenging especially when complex shapes and micro features are required. A hybrid manufacturing chain is developed for non-sintered(green) blanks machined using sequentially a cutting tool and a laser source. During the preparation of the green blank, a binder is added to the powder to improve compaction. The amount of binder can ...

Abstract : "Manufacturing of advanced ceramic parts exhibiting complex geometries is laborious and expensive. Traditionally, the machining is carried out on a so-called ‘green ceramic’: a compact composed of ceramic powder held with the help of a binder. This difficulty is due not only to the composition of the material, but also to the lack of methods that determine optimal machining parameters. ...

" This article aims to make a review of the existing benchmark artifacts and to summarize the main requirements chosen by authors. From this state of the art, a new benchmark artifact is proposed by adapting an existing one to fulfil its missing characteristics. Measurements possibilities in terms of dimensions are enumerated and organized using ISO 286 dimensional intervals as presented in the ...
