Machine capability test (polymers) - preparation for certification of industrial AM production sites acc. to DIN EN ISO / ASTM 52920

Product information "Machine capability test (polymers) - preparation for certification of industrial AM production sites acc. to DIN EN ISO / ASTM 52920"
The machine capability test is a useful component in the preparation for the certification of industrial additive manufacturing facilities according to DIN EN ISO / ASTM 52920. In the machine capability test, the spatial distribution of the actually achievable mechanical-technological properties within the machine build space is determined. For this purpose, the installation space is divided by a grid into segments, in each of which a test specimen is to be manufactured.
The results of the tensile tests allow these properties to be analyzed and assigned to the individual segments of the build envelope. For visualization purposes, a heat map can be created that shows in color whether predefined limit values have been reached or not. Based on this, the machine can be adjusted. Important parameters for the initial verification as well as the ongoing control of the industrial machine capability are the mechanical-technological properties according to DIN EN ISO 527-1:2019-12:

  • Determination of the stress-strain diagram
  • Determination of the strength σm [MPa]
  • Determination of the strain at break εb [%]
  • Indication of the fracture position
  • E-modulus [GPa]
  • Test performance at room temperature.

Included Services

  • Provision of a segmented construction job with the desired number of segments and corresponding test specimens for your build space #+
  • Test specimen certificate and instructi
  • ons Shipping label incl. pick-up and shipping tracking
  • Execution of the tensile tests in an accredited laboratory
  • Test report from TÜV NORD as PDF
  • Heatmap to visualize the distribution of the test results within the build space (see example image)

The HTV corporate group represents extensive technological competence, the highest possible quality standards and over three decades of experience in regards to providing services for electronic components. State of the art machinery, continuously growing and being adapted to the ever rising challenges of material testing and analyses, as well as teams consisting of over 150 engineers, scientists, technicians and specialists allows us to gain detailed insight into every aspect of electronic components, even down to the deepest level of construction. HTV stands for creativity, success and vision, coupled with performance, courage, optimism and fairnes. Traditional values such as honor, decency and trust form the basis for this. Highest quality and top performance as well as optimal customer care and service are further fundamental values that are firmly anchored in the entrepreneurial thinking of all HTV employees. The definition and continuous monitoring of quality targets and ongoing process improvement are mandatory.
As AM processes are seeing more and more usage in sensitive and critical to security areas, such as medical technologies and the aerospatial industry, quality ensuring processes are becoming similarly important. A precise analysis, should damage come to pass, is more often than not the best way to improve product reliability or to better understand the processes involved. This makes having a powerful and efficient partner, who supports manufacturers of 3D-printed components with the best possible support in terms of analytical expertise, all the more important. The HTV Conservation GmbH’s Institute of Material Analysis provides every supplier of additively manufactured components with a full spectrum of analytics to ensure the best possible quality, as well as full support in terms of optimizing the manufacturing processes.
