Lucideon Assists in Identifying Root Cause of Cracking in Additive Manufactured Components
Lucideon Assists in Identifying Root Cause of Cracking in Additive Manufactured Components Additive manufacturing provides a new challenge not previously seen through subtractive machining - the ability of the end user to dictate the material structure of a component being produced. With this new capability comes unique failure mechanisms, processing challenges and new structure-process- property relationships. Understanding all of these is the key to identifying the root cause of Client problems and offering a comprehensive solution. The Challenge One of our Clients was experiencing periodic cracking in components that were being printed at their facility, however they were unable to correlate the root cause to any of their processing parameters.
