This document provides an update on work packages related to consolidating components using additive manufacturing and determining the optimal sourcing mix between conventional tooling and direct printing. It discusses ongoing research on how sourcing may transition as additive manufacturing costs decrease and reliability increases. The document outlines plans to conduct another research project in the first quarter of 2018 and work on revisions to previous papers, with the goal of completing a PhD thesis by summer 2018.
171130 Progress Update WP3 (Nils Knofius)
- 1. UPDATE WP3
- 2. BUSINESS CASE(S) FOR CONSOLIDATION PAPER 15/1/18 2n.knofius@utwente.nl Print multiple components in one piece Requirements: • Consolidation with AM (probably) possible • Service obligations for assembly
- 3. ONGOING RESEARCH SOURCING TRANSITION 15/1/18 3n.knofius@utwente.nl Conventional tooling or/and Direct printing Which sourcing mix do we use and when/why/how do we transition? • AM cost decrease • Reliability and lead time differences • Part demand dependent on installed parts • Setup, production, holding, downtime and disposal costs Final order or/and Change approach/order quantity? Lifecycle
- 4. OUTLOOK 15/1/18 4n.knofius@utwente.nl • One more research project planned for 1st Quarter 2018 • Applications of rapid tooling for spare parts or extension to the dual sourcing paper • Other desired research projects related to WP3? • Working on possible revisions of previous papers • Writing PhD thesis until end of Summer 2018
