Additive Manufacturing

Motivation and aim:

Advancement of additive manufacturing processes through optimized process strategies, machine technology, factory integration and simulation for the targeted production of functionally integrated and individual components.

 

 

 

 

Materials and Processes

  • Material extrusion
  • Powder Bed Fusion
  • Photopolymerisation
  • Powder, slurry and feedstock development

 

Machine and process technology

  • Material, component and process hybridization
  • Component functionalization
  • Real-time optimized, customized machine and production control

 

 

Integrative Process Chains

  • Potential validation for series production 
  • End-to-end digitalization of the process chain
  • Process chain and factory concept planning

 

 

Quality Control

  • Scalable in-process manufacturing metrology
  • Process capability studies
  • Assistance systems
