Introduction: Active engine hood lifting system

© Copyright 2017 EDAG Engineering GmbH. All rights reserved. Folie 6

■ Active engine hood lifting systems are

established as an important pedestrian

protection device in mass production

■ Reasons against use in small-series and

sports cars:

■ complex kinematics

■ many components

■ high weight

■ negative impact on design

■ high costs for small quantities

Active hood systems are rarely used in the small-series and

sports car segment

Process simulation: Calibration of manufacturing process loads

■ Cantilever specimens with different scanning strategies were printed by voestalpine.

■ The cantilevers were cut and the deformation measured.

■ Deformations were translated into .

■ The inherent strains that reflect the manufacturing process loads were calibrated.

Inherent strains are optimized

until they reproduce the test

results.

■ Import support structure geometries

■ Select material from database – 316L steel

■ Define process chain to be simulated (build part, cut from plate, remove supports)

■ Mesh geometries with voxels

Process simulation: AM simulation results

■ Model is stabilized as it loses its

reference after being cut from the

plate

■ Therefore displacement values

are not unique, but dependent on

relative position to original mesh

■ Nevertheless prediction of part

distortion is unaffected

Process simulation: AM simulation results

■ Effective stresses shown

■ Stresses are calculated based on

non-linear elastic-plastic material

model with realistic stress-strain

relationship (flow curve)

■ Yield stress at 585 MPa ■ Plastification leads to permanent

deformation = distortion

■ Ultimate strength is 685 MPa

Process simulation: Pre-deformed shape for distortion compensation

■ Simulated distortion is

inverted

■ Inverted distortion is mapped

on surface STL

■ Pre-distorted STL is exported

■ Exported STL was used for

optimized AM of distortion

compensated parts

NB: shown distortions are

overscaled by a factor of 10 for

better visualization

Conclusion: Process simulation

© Copyright 2017 EDAG Engineering GmbH. All rights reserved. Folie 25

■ Significant reduction of the initial distortion up to 80% by AM simulation

■ Further improved results possible by additional simulation iterations

(Only one in project)

■ No necessity for building expensive and time consuming trial parts

■ No necessity for expensive compensation of distortion based on optical

measurements

■ AM part can already be within the given tolerances after the first build job

Manufacturing time and costs are reduced dramatically
