Thesis - Experimental Parameter Study for 316L on a Multimaterial 3D-Print PBF-LB/M System
The objective of this Bachelor’s thesis is to conduct an experimental investigation of the new OmniFusion 3D PBF-LB/M system from Schaeffler Special Machinery. Through systematic fundamental experiments, the system’s process behavior will be characterized, and a suitable process window for the steel/copper interface will be determined.
Scope of Work:
- Optimization of powder deposition at the interface
- Investigation of melting behavior at the interface
- Literature review
- Experimental design: parameter variation, geometric and exposure parameters (to be determined)
- Experimental implementation
- Interface characterization (metallography + possibly mechanical testing)
- Fabrication of a simple demonstrator
Machine location: Technology Transfer Center MSP, Spessartstraße 1b, 97828 Marktheidenfeld (transport from Schweinfurt is possible)
Use of Generative AI in Manufacturing Automation for the Automated Parameterization of Smart Field Devices (Sensors, Actuators)
A wide variety of sensors and actuators for use in automated manufacturing and assembly systems are now available on the market for many different tasks. Each of these field devices offers the advantage of being able to capture a range of measurement signals for process evaluation and providing on-board sensor signal processing (edge computing). However, taking full advantage of these benefits requires a significant amount of development effort to optimally configure the field devices for different applications. This thesis focuses on the IO-Link standard.
The goal of this thesis is to establish the fundamentals of how agents can be used in conjunction with generative AI (prompting, vibe coding) and, in combination with messaging (countercyclic communication), how the generated parameter sets can be directly deployed to the actual hardware.
Ideally, by the end of this thesis, smart sensors and actuators from various manufacturers will be able to be automatically identified and configured based on interactive user input.
