Then there are those who see both of these futures as one. Some of them work on the hardware Stratasys and others, like <strong>Vynce Paradise, Vice President Manufacturing Engineering Solutions at Siemens PLM Software<\/strong>, work on implementation. We caught up with Mr. Vynce Paradise at last week\u2019s TCT and he had quite a lot of interesting details to reveal on Stratasys\u2018 plan to 3D print wing-size continuous composite parts through robotic arm thermal extrusion technology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe focus, in the teams that I have working for me, is in two different directions \u2013 Vince explained \u2013  one is the traditional fixed plain deposition. For example, a <i>powder<\/i> bed would be always referred to as fixed <i>space<\/i> and most of the systems seen here are working on a fixed plain. My teams are also working on multi-access deposition, so we\u2019re moving the printing \u2013 or the position of the print head relative to the printer bed \u2013 on five, six or even seven axes. Generally, this is done using a robot and on a machine tool<i>, <\/i>so typically it refers to metal printing. We print on a converted machine tool because that means we\u2019ve got a chassis which is able to hold large metal components and move them very precisely. Because it\u2019s a machine tool, it can move the component as it is being built in any position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>3dpbm: Basically you\u2019re talking about using DED or \u201c<i>powder fed\u201d<\/i> technology?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox-upload.oss-us-east-1.aliyuncs.com\/image\/2020\/11\/vYVF73.jpg\" \/>VP<\/b>: Yes and now we\u2019re doing both metal and thermoplastics. The main and difference is in the equipment, while the basic path technology has a lot of similarities and the software is a modified version of the software we\u2019ve been using for years to drive subtractive machining. All we do is take the same software techniques and use them to drive the thermal extrusion head. The devil\u2019s in the detail and exactly what the path is to look like is never the same as a subtractive path for many of reasons, but the basic skill sets and the mathematics are similar. I\u2019m very interested in the machine knowing what the part looks like all the time in between operations because I want to know where I go next, whether I should come back with the next tool, and what materials are left. With subtractive technology I\u2019m interested in avoiding collisions, so I need to know the shape of the metal as I\u2019m subtracting material. In additive I have the reverse situation: I\u2019m interested in the shape of the metal or the plastic as I add material because again I want to know where I come back to when I add more material.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3dpbm: Does working on a robotic arm extruder add a lot of complexity to the math?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>VP<\/strong>: Really it\u2019s quite different than the fixed plain, if you think about that, as I\u2019m building this <i>part<\/i> I can rotate it and build up, rotate it and build up, I can point it at an angle in order to avoid adding support<i>. <\/i>In this process I don\u2019t really need supports. In some cases a part\u2019s features may be such that I can\u2019t decompose and get them in the right orientation so I may have to build a support feature but it will simply be a kind of reinforcement, not starting from the base but from the part itself. I might put a little ledge under a part just to hold it while I\u2019m building it then remove it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>3dpbm: So the point of this is to try to give an FDM-like technology to the geometrical freedom of a powder bed type<i> <\/i>technology<i>?<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox-upload.oss-us-east-1.aliyuncs.com\/image\/2020\/11\/YRvEZr.jpg\" \/>Man<\/b>: With powder bed, you\u2019re still constrained by the size of the powder, so our goal is to go beyond that. SLS machines are expensive and heavy. If you put two powder bed machines together you don\u2019t get a bigger part you just get two bigger machines. With the robots, we could set them on a rail and drive them on multiple axes in order to build really large parts. If we could deposit thermoplastics \u2013 ideally with continuous carbon fiber \u2013 we could build parts as large as airplane wings. I may use a robot on a large size gantry machine of the kind that already is working subtractively on airplane wings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3dpbm: So you already have software that controls the robots, is that the same software that you use on <i>additive<\/i><i>?<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>VP<\/b>: We\u2019ve been driving machine tools for years, I mean we\u2019re one of the top players in that camp, so I have customers all over the world that use my software to do the machining in all sorts of industries<\/p>\n<p><strong>3dpbm: What are the challenges of running an additive robotic system on a software level?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox-upload.oss-us-east-1.aliyuncs.com\/image\/2020\/11\/B77fue.jpg\" \/>VP<\/b>: It may seem similar, since the parts look the same as subtractive parts, but it\u2019s not. If I\u2019m depositing and I stop putting material in, I\u2019m still spushing powder out with a laser gun. With thermoplastics, it starts to build up so, for example, when I slow down on a corner because of the mechanics of the machine the material startts to build up. It sounds straightforward but you really have to calculate in the electronics or in the controller at a software level?  If I\u2019m extruding thermoplastics maybe I want a bead that gets wider as I go along; we never did that with metal so we would need new mathematics to do that\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3dpbm: That\u2019s a whole new set of calculations\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>VP<\/b>: \u201cYeah, I\u2019ve got a team who\u2019s been working on this for three years. Their day jobs were on complex five axis machining software; now they\u2019re doing complex multi axis depositions for metals or for thermoplastics\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>3dpbm: We\u2019re journalists and we like to imagine things: I always thought that the future of FDM would multi-axes, but is it also multi-robot?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>VP:<\/b> It can be! So that\u2019s where you would go next. Once you get these things done, and you\u2019ve got the right control in place in the systems, you could have two robots. We have production cells at Siemens where you can have two robots which can both perform the same task or different tasks. If you deposit thermoplastics you can get quite a rough finish; so you can come use a more conventional software and a cutter on the side just to smooth it off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>3dpbm: How concerned are you, from a software point of view, about the actual weight of the robot parts and the extruder being on the head of the robot?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>VP<\/b>: \u201cNot at all, really. These machines, to me, they\u2019re like paper printers, I\u2019m used to <i>massive<\/i> gantries and cranes and big chunks of equipment so these things are relatively tiny and light.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3dpbm: Do you consider in this process also a pneumatic extrusion system or just thermal extrusion?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox-upload.oss-us-east-1.aliyuncs.com\/image\/2020\/11\/BZnme2.jpg\" \/>VP<\/b>: On the extrusion system is where we partner we Stratasys. They just invented a new multi-stage <i>extruder<\/i> and the advantage is that they can control the deposition. That\u2019s really important, so part of the control system is we\u2019re controlling the <i>rudder<\/i>, the axes, we get the position right and record the position so that the part can simply can sit on the a table which itself can rotate with the robot. The control systems are getting more and more complicated and complex\u2026. The important thing is to control them: to control the extrusion rate so that we control the robot and we can control the extruder\u2019s movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>3DPBD<\/b>: What kind of shapes would this process be used for that cannot be done today?<\/p>\n<p><b>VP<\/b>: \u201cUltimately we\u2019re talking about huge parts. It could be the hood of a car, a turbine blade, fixtures, maybe up to five meters long. Even aircraft interiors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>3dpbm: Is the goal is to have superior automatization of the process or new geometries?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>VP<\/b>: \u201cSize: size is one of the big things we are going for\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>3dpbm: Size <i>through<\/i> additive manufacturing\u2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>VP<\/strong>: Think of an airplane fuselage part: you\u2019ve got the cut out for a window and the wall, interestingly, is made of a composite form of plastic. In additive today this plastic is made of beads with very very short fibres inside of them. What we\u2019re working towards is AM implementation of longer fibers and even continuous fibers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>3dpbm: So you could do continuous fiber 3D printing through thermal extrusion?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>VP<\/b>: That\u2019s the plan and that\u2019s the goal!<\/p>\n<p><strong>3dpbm: That\u2019s really interesting!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>VP<\/b>: \u201cThe problem with in plain additive manufacturing is that if I put carbon fiber in one plane I can strengthen that plane but not the entire structure in every direction. Now with multi axis I can keep the fibers together in any direction I like.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>3dpbm: So you\u2019re in charge of the software to make this possible, who do you interface for the hardware in this case?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>VP<\/b>: \u201cThe robots are pretty standard, they\u2019re <i>Kuka<\/i> robots <b><\/b>but it could be any robot. Unlike the machine tool, that we\u2019ve adapted from the metal DED technology, we haven\u2019t really adapted the robot arm. We just fix it up and screw on the extrusion heads. The control system is from my colleagues at Siemens in motion control, which is a fantastic motion multi-axis controller used on fives axis machines, seven axis machines, robots. So we have Siemens in control of Siemens software, Kuka<i> <\/i>robots and then Stratasys for the extrusion head, the liquefier and the materials.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>3dpbm: Thank you, this was very interesting. It seems the industry is very interested at this time about composites and all the ways you can use composites materials in 3D printing, both short and long fiber but the long fibre is the most interesting, although it may take a while longer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>VP<\/b>: There\u2019s certainly more work to do.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: 14px; color: grey;\">* This article is reprinted from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dprintingmedia.network\/siemens-vp-vynce-paradise-speaks-about-infinite-extrusion-3d-printing-of-composites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3D Printing Media Network<\/a>.
