Innovative 3D manufacturing using steel
deposition welding and 3D metal powder printing with SLM
- precision manufacturing of steel parts from high-quality materials
- producing complex geometry in near-net-shape form
- offers particular advantages for high-strength and difficult-to-machine materials
- the required materials are often nickel-based (e.g. Inconel) or containing expensive elements (e.g. titanium)
- significant reduction in machining time and volume through targeted combination of additive and subtractive manufacturing processes (hybrid manufacturing chains)
- measuring systems and data analysis for automated detection of damaged areas and geometry deviations (e.g. 3D scanner) as well as largely self-optimizing production
- cost-effective
Level of Innovation
- special adaptation of novel 3D manufacturing processes to individual applications and needs of manufacturers and/or their customers
- targeted selection and optimization of machining processes, process control, and monitoring based on the desired level of component quality
- rapid development of measurement systems and databases, also data analysis-- to enable automated detection of defects and geometric deviations, as well as largely autonomous and self-optimizing production
- development of continuous software chains for hybrid manufacturing with additive and subtractive processes
- premiere at Hannover Messe
Target audience and applications
- metal processing industry and businesses
- maintenance and service providers
- automotive industry, aerospace engineering
- heavy engineering, machine tool manufacturers
