Motivation:
-
High flexibility of WAAM processes and the resulting components requires new design concepts
Objective:
-
Implementation of the variability of the WAAM process in the design process
-
Development of design spaces - segmentation (geometry, requirement, path, process)
Solution approach:
-
Development of requirements management for multi-material WAAM components
-
Automated generation of production-ready initial geometries
-
Development of a methodology for segmentation and zoning for multi-material design
-
Handling of target conflicts and design strategies for transition areas
-
Initial validation of the methods using WAAM demonstrator components
