Directed Energy Deposition 3D Glass Printing for Realizing Customized Optical Sensors

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This research focuses on the innovative application of Directed Energy Deposition (DED) in 3D glass printing, specifically for fabricating customized optical sensors. The project aims to overcome the limitations of traditional glass manufacturing methods by leveraging additive manufacturing‘s flexibility and precision. During the first year, significant progress was made in establishing the basic setup for the DED 3D glass printing machine, including developing a GUI MATLAB program to control the printing process. Utilizing a CO2 laser and glass optical fibers, the printer showed promising results in printing both 1D and 2D structures. Optimum printing parameters were identified, with a speed of 10 mm/s being the most effective. FEM simulations were conducted to determine the ideal printing temperature for minimizing mechanical stress, indicating around 400 °C as optimal. This finding will guide modifying the printing setup to include temperature control. Despite these advancements, challenges remain in achieving the desired optical quality in printed parts. Further tests, including FTIR and optical response analyses, are planned for the upcoming year to assess and improve the optical properties of the printed structures. In conclusion, this study opens new avenues in the field of optical sensor manufacturing, promising more efficient and versatile production methods crucial for the rapidly evolving demands of modern technology.
