Description
Additive Manufacturing (AM), known for its ability to fabricate complex geometries, typically requires support structures for the production of overhanging features. Eliminating the need for support structures in the creation of complex, multiple overhanging features remains a significant challenge. Existing approaches to avoid support structures in AM need multiple reorientations of partially built parts or higher-order kinematics by adding extra degrees of freedom to the workpiece or deposition head. To address this issue, a moving anode with inclined tip is employed in this work, enabling the fabrication of support structure-less overhanging features using voxel-by-voxel deposition-based Electrochemical Additive Manufacturing (ECAM). The results confirmed the validity of this approach, as complex geometries, including multiple overlapping overhangs and asymmetrical features, were fabricated, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed tool in eliminating the need for support structures without reliance on higher-order kinematics.
