Martin Huschka (Fraunhofer EMI) The LPBF Ontology can be used to describe the additive manufacturing of a component via Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) / Selective Laser Melting (SLM). The ontology builds on BFO2.0 and BWMD_mid and has been developed to be used in conjunction with the digital workflows provided by Fraunhofer IWM. If possible, the terminology within this ontology was used as provided by ISO/ASTM 52900:2015. Historically, it was created as LPBFO ontology; an ontology that described the SLM process at Fraunhofer EMI. However, it is now being used for other applications as well, some leftovers named EMISLM might still be apparent until being updated. v1.1.9 Contact: Martin Jäcklein Fraunhofer Institute for High-Speed Dynamics , Ernst-Mach-Institut, EMI Ernst-Zermelo-Strasse 4, 79104 Freiburg , Germany Martin.Huschka@EMI.Fraunhofer.de Contact: Martin Huschka Fraunhofer Institute for High-Speed Dynamics , Ernst-Mach-Institut, EMI Ernst-Zermelo-Strasse 4, 79104 Freiburg , Germany Martin.Huschka@EMI.Fraunhofer.de hasEnvironmentalImpact Metal powder that is supplied to an AM machine as a starting material or that leaves the construction cycle as unused powder.

TransformingSliceLinesWithStrategyToScanVectors All scan vectors (hatch, contour) per layer and their Order. ScanVectorsPerLayer The scan strategy is a set of rules according to which the areas bounded by the cut lines per layer are filled with hatch and contour vectors.

The rules also specify the overlap between the exposure areas and a possible offset of the contour paths to the cut lines. ScanStrategy The calculation of the intersection lines of the component with z=const. planes. The orientation of the plane cutting liens is implemented in such a way that the inner part lies to the left of the line. This information is relevant for the direction in which a possible contour offset is calculated. CalculatingSliceLines This process concerns an optimal alignment of the part for the LPBF process and is determiend after specifying a weighting depending on the number of layers, the building time, the supports, the expected distortion and how many components can be placed on the platform. OptimizingPartOrientation Characterization of the geometric shape of the particles in a representative way. Their geometric shape can vary from irregular to almost fully spherical with or without satellites. The particle morphology is relevant for the flowability. The particle morphology is relevant for the floability and thus for the homogeneity of the powder layer. ParticleMorphology The surface of stored powder grains are always covered by adsorbed moisture. In general moisture is detrimental to the flowability of the powder. The value and unit for humidity depends on the measuring method. MoistureContent Flowability is an umbrella term describing the complex behaviour of powder when it is mobilized. Flowability is not one comprehensive property of bulk powder. The term "flowability" always must relate to equipment and the way in which it was tested. One example of such a test is the so-called avalanche test which allows a statistical analysis and extraction of distribution characteristics of quite a number of different parameters like avalanche angle, surface fractal, volume expansion rate and many more.

ShapingOfLaserBeam LaserBeam represents the spatially resolved normalised power density distribution of laser radiation along the beam direction.

OnOffProfile The Laser beam must propagate through the protective glass, which protects the scanner unit from splashes and smoke. Depending on the degree of soiling and heating of the protective glass, the laser beam power is reduced an the power density distribution in the process zone.. e.g. the beam diameter, is generally increased. LaserPropagationThroughProtectiveGlass The protective glass protects the f_Theta optic from splashes and smoke.
