Abstract

The present contribution describes 3D printing of a part and related engineering design techniques which are used for virtual prototyping. Using these advanced techniques, one can cut the consumption of material in the production of machine parts by reducing the parts’ weight while respecting the applied loads. In this investigation, the techniques were applied to a drop weight tower jaw for high-speed tensile testing. The weight of the jaw is a significant factor in the test, particularly for ductile specimens. As part of this investigation, these parts were topology optimized. The resulting design was adjusted to make the part’s shape suitable for building by DED (Direct Energy Deposition). The part was then fabricated from titanium in InssTek MX600 additive-manufacturing machine. 3D printing made it possible to fully exploit the potential of topology optimization and minimize the need for subsequent machining.
