The overlying objective of the proposal is to "Develop a fully integrated, experimentally validated, sensor fusion enabled additive-subtractive digital toolchain that integrates design for additive manufacturing (AM) strategies while incorporating material characteristics processed through wire arc AM process and its manufacturing constraints." Through this proposal, an alliance will be developed between the applicants at the university and Syncrude Canada Ltd to investigate and advance the application of AM technologies for improving Syncrude's operations in the oil sands industry in Alberta by improving the process, equipment, and/or component reliability. This project partnership will advance research and development in the following areas:1- Development of a platform-agnostic digital toolchain for multi-axis support free advanced directed energy deposition systems for oil and gas with a focus on pulse-based cold metal transfer wire arc robotic AM technology2- Understanding of solidification-microstructure-geometry interaction for robotic wire arc AM (RWAAM) of material systems specific to the needs of the mining and energy industry, including carbon and low alloy steels, and stainless steels, Stellite's, and WC-Ni MMC's. 3- Develop and implement a design for AM strategy for redesign, assembly consolidation, and printing of large-scale parts using RWAAM manufactured lattice structure-based composites.4- Using sensor fusion for in-situ and inline geometric and material deposition quality assessment with integrated intralayer an interlayer hybrid manufacturing strategy.

该提案的首要目标是“开发一个完全集成的、经过实验验证的、传感器融合的增材-减材数字工具链，该工具链集成了增材制造（AM）策略的设计，同时结合了通过丝弧AM工艺处理的材料特性及其制造限制。“通过这项提案，该大学的申请人和Syncrude Canada Ltd之间将建立联盟，以调查和推进AM技术的应用，通过改善工艺、设备和/或组件的可靠性，改善Syncrude在阿尔伯塔油砂行业的运营。该项目合作伙伴关系将推进以下领域的研究和开发：1-开发用于石油和天然气的多轴无支撑先进定向能量沉积系统的平台无关数字工具链，重点是基于脉冲的冷金属转移电弧焊机器人AM技术2-了解针对采矿和能源行业需求的材料系统的机器人电弧焊（RWAAM）的凝固-微观结构-几何形状相互作用，包括碳钢和低合金钢，以及不锈钢、钨铬钴合金和WC-Ni MMC。3-使用RWAAM制造的基于晶格结构的复合材料开发和实施AM策略的设计，用于重新设计，组装整合和大规模零件的打印。4-使用传感器融合进行原位和在线几何和材料沉积质量评估，并集成层内和层间混合制造策略。
