14 Agenda I 1. Background 2. Scientific Manufacturing Management 3. Analysis and Synthesis for AM Economics The workflow bottle necks TQM Total Quality Management TPM Total Productive Maintenance 4. Application Driven 5. Systems, Monitoring and Materials Performance (productivity, repeatability, accuracy) Materials (Plastics, Metals, (Ceramics, Biomaterials)) Automation AM Manufacturing and SM (subtractive manufacturing) are comparable tasks with new features Additive manufacturing (AM) is a process of joining materials to make objects from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing methodologies. Synonyms: additive fabrication, additive processes, additive techniques, additive layer manufacturing, layer manufacturing, and freeform fabrication. (ASTM standard F ) Manufacturing is the use of = machines, tools and labor to make things for use or sale. The term is most commonly applied to industrial production, in which raw materials are transformed into finished goods on a large scale. Such finished goods may be used for manufacturing other, more complex products, such as household appliances or automobiles, or sold to wholesalers, who in turn sell them to retailers, who then sell them to end users - the "consumers". 14

15 Manufacturing Implemented Scientific Management (Taylorism) Scientific management is a theory of management that analyzes and synthesizes workflows, with the objective of improving labor productivity. Source: Total Quality Management (or TQM) is a management concept coined by W. Edwards Deming. The basis of TQM is to reduce the errors produced during the manufacturing or service process, increase customer satisfaction, streamline supply chain management, aim for modernization of equipment and ensure workers have the highest level of training Lean manufacturing or lean production, often simply, "Lean," is a production practice that considers the expenditure of resources for any goal other than the creation of value for the end customer to be wasteful, and thus a target for elimination. Management philosophy derived mostly from the Toyota Production System (TPS) Implement scientific manufacturing management (Tylorism) Applications Applications Applications Applications Standards TQM Automation Productivity Process, System, Materials Plant integration Upstream processes Downstream processing business process or business method Production integration The first level of industrial usability was reached Numerous applications of AM are success business cases Modeling, permanent continuous performance advances are required Applications Applications 15

17 Economics behind conceivable future volumes built with AM Technology (SLS). Example Part: Cost [T ] Only 20% of the material is in the parts Motorcycle accessory: Lifetime: 5 years Volume: Manual finishing required to bring surfaces up to standard for a visible part Number of parts TQM a must for results and confidence in AM 17

18 Fact is that for AM the results depend on: Process / Technology dependent Material dependent Geometry dependent Application dependent System maturity and Equipment maintenance dependent Age and equipment generation dependent Operator skills and experience AM is reproducible and reliable only under equal well controlled standardized conditions The bottlenecks in AM are the challenges RP RM AM USE Design Materials Finish Components 18

54 We are on the right track Conclusions The sustainability will be a mayor issue for all of us The implementation of Scientific Management (Taylorism) is a must Hybrid systems are in due Productivity, Automation and quality enhancements are a permanent issue New application driven manufacturing tasks coupled with product innovations are just around the corner. Interdisciplinary and complexity are increasing Additive Manufacturing Processes are a great challenge and chance in manufacturing 5 years to go! The scientific AM community has to be involved 54

55 Personalized Construction of a CUBESAT using AdditiveManufacturing Additive manufacturing The sky is the limit! 55

56 Conclusions by Albert Einstein The formulation of a problem is often more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill. The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder. All meaningful and lasting change starts first in your imagination and then works its way out. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Albert Einstein 56
