    As a welder and steel fabricator... I have seen plenty of young engineers bringin forth plans that are impossible or REALLY UNNECESSARILY COMPLEX to fabricate. (And many of them have refused to take feedback... for some reason.) And since I started to study engineering at university, I have found great amount of value from my practical experience of welding and steel fabrication. Seriously engineers... Talk to the people making your things. Often there are simple changes you can do that will cut cost and production time, if you'd just bother to talk to us. We don't bite. We might be blunt and few worded, but we aren't mean. We like it when we get to share our experience.

We had to put a sample of carbon steel in a furnace and while we were waiting our lab instructor was telling us about the research he did in 3D printing while he was a student and he essentially gave a more generic version of what your said with the fatigue analysis. I just find it so cool that you made a video on this right after I just learned about this in lab.

If that is in you great, it is hard to build in people that don't have that self starter drive. Make your boss'es job easy by getting everything done on time, solve problems for them... this will really help to propel you quickly into bigger and better things. Pretty soon you will be managing a team of engineers, will be promoted and making some serious money, and you will have a great reputation. I can say looking back now after meeting dozens if not hundreds of engineers, that the ones that joke around in a bad way, that are not self starters, that do not have a spark, a passion, a drive, well they are still working on kind of the same level of stuff they were doing when they first started... and if that is exactly what you want then actually great. But for sure, again from 28 years of knowing people, the ones that are doing very good to great today are the ones that had that drive. It seems obvious but still, it does take an attitude that for now this is the job that you have and if you think you are worth more that is fine but today, now, work on the projects you are assigned with drive, passion, work your butt off... but still you will have fun because engineering is a self rewarding job. It is creative, difficult, and it gets great respect from people in a good way.

    While you stated that pores and cracks mostly form during overhangs, with no support material below, I must mention that with the right parameters of laserspeed (Scanspeed) and laserpower (in watts or Joules per mm³) you usually achive parts with 99.5+ % relative density. What is often even better than casting parts. When we did a parameter study of AlSi10Mg we found that the tensile strenght exceeds 400N/mm² (as build with no heat treatment) for casted parts its only around 250 N/mm²´but unfortunately the elongation before breaking is almost zero so you get a very brittle part. The issue here is, that you need a well formed crystaline structure to accomondate fatigue fracturing, so heat treatment is necessarry. But, heat treatment means deformation of your printed part... So what we need is a simulation tool to predict the deformation after 3D-Printing and after heat treatment. Even thou ANSYS has its Additive manufacturing suit, we found the results not to correlate well enought with real world experiments to be of use for regular implementation.

    @@naminogiri It has been done but there are a number of issues. My favorite issue is that while creating the vacuum, air will bubble out of the powder which can cause some disruptions. If this happens really quickly you get an awesome effect like boiling metal or like quicksand. Also once the air is all removed the powder becomes much harder to move like wet sand vs dry sand. This gums up the machinery. Also, when melting the powder, some kind of soot and off-gassing occurs which must be taken away because it interferes with the laser beam or deposits on laser optics. A build-up of soot is a MAJOR MAJOR fire hazard as well. Air is needed to blow the soot away into containment.

    A laser physically cant weld on an atomic level, all it does is raise the the temperature (that is the speed of the atoms) such that the powders melts and resolidifies into the weld. So on an atomic level, a laser just increases chaotic movement and does the opposite of welding atoms individually.

    You can melt the powder by electron beams instead of laser. Main advantages are more efficient melting since the kinetic energy of the electrons hitting the powder particles are more efficient than lasers since the laser is dependant of reflectivity of said powder. Also with electron beam melting you have much better control of the energy source, with lasers any movement is restricted by mechanical movement of glass that reflects the laser in a coordinate system, electron beam is instead controlled by magnetic coils which can be manipulated orders of magnitude faster since you dont depend on mechinal movement of parts. But the two different methods complement each other☺️

    Really cool I can see its potential. The laser idea is really neat and the close-ups of it reminded me of when you get porosity in your welds when there's contaminants such as the atmosphere, dirt, oxidation, scale etc. I wonder if a shielding gas or some sort of flux or both would improve the laser welds.

    I always considered 3d printing as an alternative to casting. I've done a lot of work for oil and gas (machining extremely low volume cast impellers mostly), and the sheer number of jobs that had top go back for welding due to porosity or were scrapped outright because porosity appeared on finishing cuts is phenomenal. Add to that the setup cost of producing the patterns for casting i think 3d printing is a very viable alternative. I'd regularly get jobs where unimportant faces and diameters (the shrouds, o/d and the hub face used for the sprue) were cast with 20mm, 50mm and 150mm of metal on them (respectively) for absolutely no reason. being able to print the part leaving 1mm on the tolerance'd diameters and faces would have been a godsend. The money doesn't stop being saved there - the parts would require minimal balancing and fettling after machining.. I can't believe no one has jumped on this area.

    The loose powder overhang problem will be solved by shortening the pulse times of the laser, this will form a more uniform melting structure. Also, the powder should be prepared with some sort of binding agent and compressed prior to melting with the laser. Like a flux of some sort, or compression of the powder may be enough.

    Ive actually done a lot on 3d printed metal for college its amazing what you can do with the design shapes the main problem still material that isnt used after a certain amount of prints goes bad and yes they do fail a lot sooner machining strengthens the material while printing does not it also takes a lot of surface work to get these parts to a machined finish. For those of you who haven't touched a piece before it feels like very high grit sandpaper. You can rub your finger across it and feel the imperfections. Its different then grain lines though as the material is "welded" together (note they arent welded in the tradition sense they are more or less almost melted together but just barely in a process called cintering(god I hope I spelt that right)) so just like any weld there is a weak point but each individual particle of dust has these welds unless it a hollow design with more powder inside to add some weight and rigidity while cutting down print time. There is alot of stuff not covered in this video but thats because its a 15min video and not the days of material I had to learn and it covers a lot but yes most parts are limited to mainly prototypes due to the problem of breaking with stress higher but the technology has come a long way recently a concept I saw while writing a paper once was about like a traditional 3d printer designed and not the laser style with a heated wire being just hot enough to print but on a floating bed(does not connect to the bed to the effect of something super hot not touching something super cold I just woke up sorry) while being cool I dont see it working as it would be trying to be like a cast piece without casting it. Im going to stop typing now before a do a whole paper in the KZread comments.

    Resin printing is now fast enough to work as an economy of scale. We can make a 4 inch tall resin part in ~7 minutes, and with resin printing, only the height matters for print speed. So you could have a 100 squair foot platform making 1000s of smaller parts at once and get like 2k parts per 7 minutes. This is prefect for miniture models, and small things like phone stands, cable jack "selves" and other things of that nature.

    Yes, there are two versions of metal 3d printing, Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) shown in the video. Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) uses a laser to melt metal powder in an inert gas chamber (nitrogen or argon). Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion uses an electron beam instead of a laser in a vacuum. I'm more familiar with the LPBF version. Part of the reason you get material blowing away is because the metal powder vaporizes into a gas as it melts. I believe this would still happen with an electron beam. Good idea though!
