Title: Dielectric breakdown of additively manufactured polymeric materials

Abstract

Dielectric strength testing of selected Polyjet-printed polymer plastics was performed in accordance with ASTM D149. This dielectric strength data is compared to manufacturer-provided dielectric strength data for selected plastics printed using the stereolithography (SLA), fused deposition modeling (FDM), and selective laser sintering (SLS) methods. Tested Polyjet samples demonstrated dielectric strengths as high as 47.5 kV/mm for a 0.5 mm thick sample and 32.1 kV/mm for a 1.0 mm sample. As a result, the dielectric strength of the additively manufactured plastics evaluated as part of this study was lower than the majority of non-printed plastics by at least 15% (with the exception of polycarbonate).

FRAME: Field-Resilient Acoustic Micro-Emitters for Accurate Cost-Effective Fracture Mapping

Technical Report Angelescu, Dan E. ; Wong, Joyce ; Hausot, Andreas

The Field-Resilient Acoustic Micro-Emitters (FRAME) technology investigated in the present DOE-SBIR addresses a current need for high-solution mapping of the reservoir during hydraulic fracturing operation. FRAME technology relies on the use of acoustic micro-emitters (AMEs) that are capable of being injected and transported in a well along with fracturing fluids and proppants, and of later emitting a characteristic acoustic signal from within the fracture space, thus allowing accurate triangulation using in-well seismic instrumentation. The focus of this Phase I project is in providing fabrication routes using novel additive manufacturing techniques combined with MEMS in a hybrid manufacturing approach. Multiple additivemore »« less
Additive Manufacturing of Soft Magnets for Electrical Machines -- A Review

Journal Article Lamichhane, Tej Nath ; Sethuraman, Latha ; Dalagan, Adrian ; ... - Materials Today Physics

With growing interest in electrification from clean energy technologies, such as wind power, and use of pure electric powertrains in various applications, the demand for next-generation, high-performance magnetic materials has risen significantly. Electrical machine design for these applications is facing challenges in terms of meeting very demanding metrics for power densities and conversion efficiencies, thereby motivating the exploration of advanced materials and manufacturing for the next generation of lightweight ultra-efficient electric machines. Additive manufacturing (AM), a layer-by-layer three dimensional (3D) printing technology, opens up new venues of improvements for industrial manufacturing of electrical machines via near-net shape printing of complexmore »« less

3D printing of gas jet nozzles for laser-plasma accelerators

Journal Article Döpp, A. ; Guillaume, E. ; Thaury, C. ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Recent results on laser wakefield acceleration in tailored plasma channels have underlined the importance of controlling the density profile of the gas target. In particular, it was reported that the appropriate density tailoring can result in improved injection, acceleration, and collimation of laser-accelerated electron beams. To achieve such profiles, innovative target designs are required. For this purpose, we have reviewed the usage of additive layer manufacturing, commonly known as 3D printing, in order to produce gas jet nozzles. Notably we have compared the performance of two industry standard techniques, namely, selective laser sintering (SLS) and stereolithography (SLA). Furthermore we havemore »« less

Rapid prototyping applications for manufacturing

Journal Article Atwood, C L ; Maguire, M C ; Pardo, B T ; ... - SAMPE Journal

Recent advances in stereolithography and selective laser sintering have had a significant impact on the overall quality of parts produced using these rapid prototyping processes. The development and implementation of 3D System`s QuickCast{sup TM} resin and software for building investment casting patterns have proven to be major steps toward fabricating highly accurate patterns with very good surface finishes. As participants in the Beta test program for QuickCast{sup TM} resin and software, we experienced a steep learning curve and were able to build accurate parts in a short period of time. It is now possible using this technology to produce highlymore »« less
Electroless Deposition of Palladium on Macroscopic 3D-Printed Polymers with Dense Microlattice Architectures for Development of Multifunctional Composite Materials

Journal Article Jones, Christopher G. ; Mills, Bernice E. ; Nishimoto, Ryan K. ; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

A simple procedure has been developed to create palladium (Pd) films on the surface of several common polymers used in commercial fused deposition modeling (FDM) and stereolithography (SLA) based three-dimensional (3D) printing by an electroless deposition process. The procedure can be performed at room temperature, with equipment less expensive than many 3D printers, and occurs rapidly enough to achieve full coverage of the film within a few minutes. 3D substrates composed of dense logpile or cubic lattices with part sizes in the mm to cm range, and feature sizes as small as 150 μm were designed and printed using commerciallymore »« less
