TY - JOUR A1 - Günster, Jens A1 - Wang, Gong A1 - Tian, Xiaoyong T1 - 3D Printing Technologies for Extreme Environment in Space N2 - 3D printing technology can realize the rapid fabrication of complicated structures with short production chain, which just meet the requirements for space manufacturing in the future. However, 3D printing technologies in space are still challenging due to the harsh conditions, such as microgravity, high vacuum, and large temperature difference. Meanwhile, in-situ resource utilization and recycling must be considered as a cost effective and resilient resource for 3D printing in space. On the contrary, extreme environmental conditions such as high vacuum and microgravity can also offer significant advantages for advanced materials with high purity and performance. In-situ fabrication of ultra-large components would overcome the weight and structural limitations imposed by rocket launch and change the future strategy for space exploration. The aim of this specially issue is therefore to provide a platform for discussing the potential technologies for 3D printing in space.

T1 - 3D printing of porcelain by layerwise slurry deposition N2 - The Layerwise Slurry Deposition is a technology for the deposition of highly packed powder layers. A powder bed is achieved by depositing and drying layers of a ceramic suspension by means of a doctor blade. This deposition technique was combined with the binder jetting technology to develop a novel Additive Manufacturing technology, named LSD-print. The LSD-print was applied to a porcelain ceramic. It is shown that it was possible to produce parts with high definition, good surface finish and at the same time having physical and mechanical properties close to those of traditionally processed porcelain, e.g. by slip casting. This technology shows high future potential for being integrated alongside traditional production of porce-lain, as it is easily scalable to large areas while maintaining a good definition. Both the Layerwise Slurry Deposition method and the binder jetting technologies are readily scalable to areas as large as > 1 m2.

A1 - Zocca, Andrea T1 - Additive manufacturing of glass-ceramic dental restorations by layerwise slurry deposition (LSD-print) N2 - This study is dedicated to the additive manufacturing of a feldspar glass-ceramic for dental applications by LSD-print (layerwise slurry deposition) technology, a variation of binder jetting using water-based ceramic slurries as feedstock. This technology was investigated for the manufacturing of single tooth restoration demonstrators with good aesthetic properties, and to compare the additively manufactured material with a commercial reference. Model restorations with > 99 % relative density were processed with a debinding and firing cycle of 45 min, however the whole process chain accounts for up to 30 hours. Significant differences between LSD-printed and reference materials were found for fracture strength, fracture toughness and Martens parameters. Printing orientation affected shrinkage and fracture strength, but not fracture toughness and Martens parameters. Nevertheless, the results suggest that the LSD-print technology processing the developed slurry is a promising option for manufacturing dental restorations meeting class 1a requirements according to DIN EN ISO 6871:2019–01.

The specimens were manufactured with three different L-PBF machines and studied in different heat treatment conditions (as-built, annealed, T6 heat treated). The investigations showed that the high attainable tensile strength properties after the manufacturing process are not beneficial in the high cycle fatigue (HCF) regime. In contrast, the applied heat treatments, which lead typically to a decrease of ultimate tensile strength, improved dramatically the fatigue behavior. Additionally, a clear correlation between the elongation at fracture and HCF resistance has been found for individual heat treatment conditions. This empiric relationship provides an estimation of the fatigue resistance in the presence of material defects and can be implemented in part and process approvals.

T1 - A tissue engineered 3D printed calcium alkali phosphate bioceramic bone graft enables vascularization and regeneration of critical-size discontinuity bony defects in vivo N2 - Recently, efforts towards the development of patient-specific 3D printed scaffolds for bone tissue engineering from bioactive ceramics have continuously intensified. For reconstruction of segmental defects after subtotal mandibulectomy a suitable tissue engineered bioceramic bone graft needs to be endowed with homogenously distributed osteoblasts in order to mimic the advantageous features of vascularized autologous fibula grafts, which represent the standard of care, contain osteogenic cells and are transplanted with the respective blood vessel. Consequently, inducing vascularization early on is pivotal for bone tissue engineering. The current study explored an advanced bone tissue engineering approach combining an advanced 3D printing technique for bioactive resorbable ceramic scaffolds with a perfusion cell culture technique for pre-colonization with mesenchymal stem cells, and with an intrinsic angiogenesis technique for regenerating critical size, segmental discontinuity defects in vivo applying a rat model. To this end, the effect of differing Si-CAOP (silica containing calcium alkali orthophosphate) scaffold microarchitecture arising from 3D powder bed printing (RP) or the Schwarzwalder Somers (SSM) replica fabrication technique on vascularization and bone regeneration was analyzed in vivo. In 80 rats 6-mm segmental discontinuity defects were created in the left femur.

Fabricating non-equiatomic metastable MEAs using PBF-LB can lead to the formation of unique microstructures that enhance the mechanical performance of these alloys. Nevertheless, plastic anisotropy in materials prepared by additive manufacturing routes including PBF-LB remains to be a technical challenge. This work presents the fabrication of a metastable non-equiatomic Co45Cr25(FeNi)30 MEA using PBF-LB. As-printed samples exhibited the formation of nano-scaled ε-martensite (HCP) phase along with the FCC phase. The HCP phase exhibited Shoji-Nishiyama orientation relationship with the FCC phase. High energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction (HEXRD) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) in-situ tensile testing were employed to investigate the influence of the HCP phase on the alloy's deformation behavior. The presence of the HCP phase initiates stress-induced martensitic transformation well below the macroscopic yield strength. This transformation led to the non-linear stress and strain response for the FCC phase. Further straining resulted in significant load partitioning, with the HCP phase taking the majority of the load as it formed, significantly strain hardening the alloy and reducing the plastic anisotropy induced by texture in the as-printed material.

This study shows experimentally the effect of simple geometrical obstructions to the heat flux on cooling behavior and solidification conditions of 316L stainless steel processed by L-PBF. Additionally, it respects two distinct inter layer times (ILT) as well as the build height of the parts. The cooling behavior of the parts is in-situ traced by infrared (IR) thermography during the built-up. The IR signals reveal significant differences in cooling conditions, which are correlated to differences in melt pool geometries. The acquired data and results can be used for validation of computational models and improvements of quality assurance.

A1 - Günster, Jens T1 - Strategies for the selective volume sintering of ceramics N2 - The present study is dealing with the basic physics for a novel way to generate a free-formed ceramic body, not like common layer by layer, but directly by Selective Volume Sintering (SVS) in a compact block of ceramic powder. To penetrate with laser light into the volume of a ceramic powder compact it is necessary to investigate the light scattering properties of ceramic powders. Compared with polymers and metals, ceramic materials are unique as they offer a wide optical window of transparency. The optical window typically ranges from below 0.3 up to 5 µm wave length. In the present study thin layers of quartz glass (SiO2) particles have been prepared. As a function of layer thickness and the particle size, transmission and reflection spectra in a wave length range between 0.5 and 2.5 µm have been recorded. Depending on the respective particle size and by choosing a proper relation between particle size and wave length of the incident laser radiation, it is found that light can penetrate a powder compact up to a depth of a few millimeters. With an adjustment of the light absorption properties of the compact the initiation of sintering in the volume of the compact is possible.

Meanwhile, though space stations in low Earth orbit are established, a set of visits to the Moon have been performed, and humankind can send out rovers to explore Venus and Mars, none of these milestone missions is equipped with technology to manufacture functional metallic parts or tools in space. In order to advance space exploration to long-term missions beyond low Earth orbit, it will be crucial to develop and employ technology for in-space manufacturing (ISM) and in-situ resource utilisation (ISRU). To use the advantages of laser-based powder bed fusion in these endeavours, the challenge of powder handling in microgravity must be met. Here we present a device capable of building parts using metallic powders in microgravity. This was proven on several sounding rocket flights, on which occasions Zr-based metallic glass parts produced by additive manufacturing in space were built. The findings of this work demonstrate that building parts using powder feedstock, which is more compact to transport into space than wire, is possible in microgravity environments. This thus significantly advances ISRU and ISM and paves the way for future tests in prolonged microgravity settings.
