*Abstract*

This webinar will introduce attendees to an emerging metal additive
manufacturing process that produces parts via on-demand jetting of molten
metal droplets. Unlike traditional metal additive manufacturing processes
such as powder bed fusion or binder jetting, the droplet jetting process
uses wire, rather than powder, as the feedstock material. This greatly
reduces cost and safety concerns. The absence of a powder bed also reduces
feedstock carrying costs and eliminates complicated lot tracing procedures
associated with blending of new and used powders. Process parameters such
as drop size, jetting temperature, drop spacing, and jetting frequency all
influence the dimensional accuracy, density, and mechanical properties of
fabricated parts. An open architecture droplet jetting machine from Xerox
(formerly Vader Systems) is used to demonstrate the influence of both
process parameters and toolpath generation strategies on geometric
accuracy, density, and microstructure of aluminum alloys.

Denis Cormier is the Earl W. Brinkman Professor of Industrial and Systems
Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology where he also directs the
New York State Additive Manufacturing and Multifunctional Printing Center.
He has worked in the area of additive manufacturing and 3D printing for
nearly 25 years. Much of his research has focused on metal additive
manufacturing of aerospace alloys and engineering lattice structures. He
was a founding member of ASTM’s F-42 additive manufacturing standards
group, and he is a long-time organizing committee member for SME’s RAPID
conference and exhibition. He serves on the editorial advisory boards for
several journals including Additive Manufacturing, the Rapid Prototyping
Journal.
