Virtual additive manufacturing (AM) is one of the new directions of research that is necessary to improve AM technology. Abaqus/SIMULIA software allows to simulate the whole process using user subroutines to expand solver capabilities. Two of the most important subroutines are UepActivationVol and UMATHT. The UepActivationVol is related to an activation of elements in accordance with the defined path of the process. The second one the UMATHT is used to implement and combine thermal and crystallization process [2]. The presented investigations describe the dual crystallization kinetics model for considered high temperature thermoplastic material Polyetheretherketone (PEEK). Furthermore, it is shown how to analyse the overall process with use of Abaqus/SIMULIA software. The innovation of the presented approach lies in the proper interpreting of the G-Code from Computeraided manufacturing software (CAM), which is an input for the real machines dedicated to AM. The path (coordinates of discrete points) and time of particular steps of the manufacturing process are extracted from the G-Code and are included as input parameters in the simulation code. The discretized part is simplification of the Computer-aided design (CAD) geometry. The final results show the effect implemented in user subroutines. Additionally, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) test results are presented in order to calculate crystallization and melting parameters. The presented work is the basis of the following investigations covering prediction of residual stresses, volumetric shrinkage and deformations.

The thermoplastic polymers present amorphous or semi-crystalline structures which are very important factors in describing volumetric shrinkage. The thermoplastic materials are commonly used for production of daily life products, industrial or as the prototypes. Different techniques of manufacturing polymer structures are considered like: injection molding, extrusion, milling, additive manufacturing (AM). AM is a very fast developing field in the manufacturing and research. Unfortunately, components or prototypes made using the thermoplastic semi-crystalline materials in 3D techniques have quite low mechanical strength compared to the parts made by injection molding processes. It is caused by porosity obtained during the processing, as well as by fraction of crystallinity in the volume of the components. Additionally, the volumetric shrinkage is hard to predict without knowledge of its origin. Therefore, it is necessary to consider crystallization kinetics and the melting of the analysed materials. The investigations presented in this work concern the crystallization and melting model to be implemented in the finite element (FE) analyses. With use of the model, one can predict development of the structure during the real processes and, in the future, to control the warpage of the manufactured components.
