Funded Activity Summary

Fundamental research advancing remanufacturing with a 3D printing technique. 3D printing manufactures items directly from a computer model. This project aims to develop a computational tool for applying direct laser metal deposition, a 3D-printing method, to repair metallic components and develop a way to predict the remaining life of the remanufactured components. The tool should optimise use of this printing method and improve the quality of repaired components. The research expects to validate the tool for simulating the printing process, provide a better heat treatment during repair, and allow safe prediction of the service life of repaired components. This research should benefit the Australian manufacturing industry and reduce resource use by helping apply this 3D printing method in remanufacturing.
