Abstract

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is developing the first commercially available medium to large-scale thermoset additive manufacturing (AM) system with Magnum Venus Products (MVP). This 3D printer is capable of fabricating large-scale thermoset components at room temperature with a build volume of 16’ x 8’ x 42’’. The thermoset extrusion process uses irreversible exothermic chemical reactions to form a cross-linked polymer printing temperature provides huge opportunities for complex and smart tooling applications. Integrating a pick and place actuator into this system will allow for the placement of heating/cooling channels as well as sensors to monitor tooling health and heat distribution. The pneumatically-driven pick and place actuator is integrated into the existing electrical and mechanical design and is controlled using custom M-code commands. The system is comprised mostly of commercially available components, providing easy adoptability by future thermoset systems.
