Additive manufactured conformal cooling channels: BayerRecent Research Landscape

Surface defects and delamination occur when decorative layers fail to bond during high-pressure resin injection. This lever stabilizes the chemical and mechanical adhesion between the ink film and the molding tool substrate.

What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Additive manufactured conformal cooling channels?

Internal cavity integration failure

(34)evidences

Conventional manufacturing processes cannot produce the intricate internal geometries required for integrated cooling and structural features in multi-material assemblies. Overcoming these spatial limitations allows for superior thermal management and structural integrity in specialized components.

Inconsistent coating layer thickness

(20)evidences

Inaccurate placement of shaped bodies or blanks during thermoforming leads to structural defects and part rejection. Precise alignment ensures dimensional stability and mechanical integrity in fiber-reinforced components.

Inadequate thermal fatigue resistance

(17)evidences

Non-uniform cooling in complex molds leads to thermal gradients and structural defects. Standardizing heat extraction prevents part warping and reduces cycle times.

Assembly geometric distortion

(17)evidences

Inconsistent surface preparation and residual contaminants lead to poor coating adhesion and structural defects. Eliminating these irregularities ensures predictable thermal transfer and mechanical integrity in complex geometries.
