In-Situ Laser Excited Frequency Response of Additive Manufactured Parts
Abstract
Fielding Additively Manufactured (AM) parts requires evaluating both the part’s geometry and material state. This includes geometry that may be optically hidden. Both the geometry and material state affect the vibration response of the parts and modal analysis (identifying natural frequencies) has been shown to be effective for at least simple geometries using ex-situ methods (shaker table and impact hammer excitations). This paper investigates evaluation of the frequency response of metal parts inside the build chamber using the process laser to excite the parts during printing (Renishaw AM250). Vibrations in the part are measured with accelerometers connected to the build plates and used to track the response during printing as during pauses between layers. The laser is modulated at different frequencies and focused onto specific targets to precisely extract the response from individual parts on the build plate. These results are compared to numerical models for metal parts of different geometries and with different material states.
