Case Overview
Nurmi Cylinders Oy: Finland-based manufacturer ofhydraulic cylinders for heavy-duty applications inoffshore, industrial, marine and mobile environments
Design Challenge: Redesign a hydraulic valve blockto take full advantage of the benefits of additivemanufacturing
Traditional valve blockStraight and circular drillingsAuxiliary drillings that need to be plugged afterwardsInitial weight: 2.5kg
Benefits of AMImprove shape of internal channels for optimal flowEliminate need for auxiliary drillings – reduced potentialfor leaksReduce size & weightProduce small, tailor-made series to suit customer’sneeds

Initial Printability Check
Original channel design requires supportsdifficult/impossible to removeSolution: Internal channels are now straight (~45° to baseplate) with elliptical cross-section

Preliminary Design Analysis
Material: H13 tool steelMaximum acceptable stress: 640 MPa (tensile/2.7)Maximum stress: 946 MPa (*note – only a few elements have stress levelsabove 500MPa, all are in non-design space and can be modified)
Colored elements have stressesexceeding 500 MPahttp://www.vttresearch.com/

Mass after smoothing operations: 578.4 g;compared to original mass 2.5 kg 76% reduction
Reanalysis with test pressure (420 bar)Design meets defined stress requirements

Summary
Designing specifically for AM makes it possible to take full advantage ofthe design freedom offered by this manufacturing technique
Successful printing of a part necessitates knowledge about the specificrequirements for a given AM technology, material being printed, builddirection and orientation, supporting structures and their removal, andpost-processing procedures.
VTT has experts in advanced manufacturing techniques, structural designand analysis, and material science all under one roof. Knowledge sharingwithin these areas of expertise can help ensure successful design andcreation of additive manufactured parts.

Significant massreductionleads to lower materialcost & faster print time
Improved flowdue to smooth transitionsbetween internal channels
No need forauxiliary drillings,less chance ofleakage
The bionic design andsmall series were idealfor AM
