METHOD OF WELDING ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED THERMOPLASTICS

A method of forming a component includes additively manufacturing a first subcomponent (12), the first subcomponent including a first polymer material with a first porosity. The method further includes mating the first subcomponent with a second subcomponent (14) and ultrasonically welding the first...

Zusammenfassung:A method of forming a component includes additively manufacturing a first subcomponent (12), the first subcomponent including a first polymer material with a first porosity. The method further includes mating the first subcomponent with a second subcomponent (14) and ultrasonically welding the first subcomponent to the second subcomponent at a weld frequency. The first porosity can be 5% or less.
