You are invited to attend the virtual Additive Manufacturing & Design seminar series on Tuesday, April 4 at 10:30 AM (ET).
The featured speaker is Laura Ely, Managing Director at The Barnes Global Advisors. Additional details can be found on the attached seminar announcement.
Topic: "Go Big or Go Home"
ABSTRACT
Directed Energy Deposition (DED) processes enable an ability to “go big” with AM part design. However, the manufacturing material > process > design triangle reminds us that opportunistic Design for AM (DfAM) must be balanced with restrictive Modify for AM (MfAM). The building blocks of DED design are driven primarily by a need to establish and maintain a stable melt pool while building a bead. As always, requirements rule supreme, and other considerations such as ability to inspect and qualification and certification approach are also crucial. To close, three laser DED-enabled rocket nozzle design approaches will be reviewed along with other use cases.
BIOGRAPHY
Laura Ely is the Managing Director at The Barnes Global Advisors; she leads a team of industry recognized AM experts in providing specialty technical and strategic solutions to solve customer problems. Laura operates at the intersection of people, technology, and strategy with a proven track record of building diverse teams. As a Metallurgical Engineer, she spent the first decade of her career optimizing materials and processes ranging from rolling and annealing to friction stir welding and spin forming. However, her heart sits with Directed Energy Deposition, as she was the driving force behind an $18M CRADA with Oak Ridge National Labs and the creation of a new technology team for GKN’s North America division. She mentors young engineers and passionately supports 3D printing and STEAM activities at her children’s grade schools.
