Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the incremental buildup of monolithic components with a variety of materials, and material deposition locations.
Quantifying tool wear is historically challenging task due to variable human interpretation. This capture system will allow for an entire side and the complete end of the cutting tool to be analyzed.
Red mud residue is an industrial waste product generated during the processing of bauxite ore to extract alumina for the steelmaking industry. Red mud is rich in minerals in bauxite like iron and aluminum oxide, but also heavy metals, including arsenic and mercury.
In additive printing that utilizes multiple robotic agents to build, each agent, or “arm”, is currently limited to a prescribed path determined by the user.
This invention discusses the methodology to calibrating a multi-robot system with an arbitrary number of agents to obtain single coordinate frame with high accuracy.
Technologies are described directed to reducing weld additive part distortion with spot compressions integrated into the build process. The disclosed technologies can be used to make weld additive parts with potentially better geometrical accuracy.
ORNL has developed bacterial strains that can utilize a common plastic co-monomer as a feedstock. This will help enable modern, petroleum-derived plastics to be converted into value-added chemicals.
