Session Topic: HEAL-IT: Hybrid-Manufacturing Enabled Agility and Longevity of Industrial Tooling
Wednesday, 9/11, 11:00AM – 11:55AM / Room W192-C
Speakers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s (ORNL) Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF) and OPEN MIND Technologies will focus on a recent collaboration to repair a bottle mold using hybrid manufacturing which includes both additive and subtractive operations. This session will demonstrate how hybrid manufacturing was leveraged to repair the threads of a bottle mold. Specifically, the speakers will (1) discuss lessons learned from this demonstrated process, (2) provide insight on state-of-the-art of 5-axis CAM programming for DED, and (3) present ongoing technology developments in the field of hybrid manufacturing.
