20190084083 · 2019-03-21 ·

When water jet guided laser drilled through the first body, there is a confined embodiment between the first body and the second body. To prevent water jet guided laser to continue in this direction and create damage on the second body, a volume vibrator is connected to the embodiment and media that filled embodiment get pumped in and pumped out from the embodiment at adjustable frequency and cycle volume. Mechanical energy is then transferred into the embodiment to generate local media vibration. The laminar flowing state of the water jet is interrupted and the laser beam confined in the water jet is dispersed. Plugging method is also involved to insure when there are multiple holes on the embodiment, there will be enough mechanical energy get transferred to the laser breakthrough location.

APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR OPTIMIZATION OF POWDER REMOVAL FEATURES IN ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED COMPONENTS

Techniques for optimizing powder hole removal are disclosed. In one aspect, an apparatus for inserting powder removal features may identify what powder removal features are optimal for a given AM component, as well as the optimal location and physical characteristics of these features. The features are automatedly added to the component, and an FEA test is run. In the event of failure, the offending feature is removed and the process is repeated. If successful then the loose powder may be removed in a post-processing step following AM.
