Magnetohydrodynamic pump application in complex form aluminum parts additive manufacturing

Abstract

A review of Drop-on-Demand additive manufacturing methods was held. A method of complex forms aluminum parts production through the application of magnetohydrodynamic pump and 5 axis manufacturing process was proposed. 5 axis 3D printer assembly was shown. A few operation modes were proposed for such 3D printer and a method for fill lines paths calculating, needed for G-code automatic generation, was established. The algorithm for calculating printhead moving trajectory in the cylindrical parts manufacture mode was shown.
