Franz Haas (Head of Institute, IFT - Graz University of Technology)25/11/2019, 15:30Recent Research TopicsOral PresentationThe proposal deals with a completely new technique and energy source for melting of metal powder. The paper is focused on the machine itself, its topology optimized design and the energy transfer to the material. The printer consists of lightweight material und uses a cooling system for the projection part that reuses the removed energy to preheat the platform and the already printed part....Go to contribution page

Sebastian Dirks (Chair for Digital Additive Production (DAP) of RWTH Aachen University)25/11/2019, 15:50Systems & Equipments for MAMOral PresentationMethods for cost calculation of Laser-based Additive Manufacturing (LAM) have evolved over the last two decades. Starting from a rapid prototyping manufacturing method, cost calculation over time included more than single part production for small series or mixed batches. New machine developments nowadays include large scale production and introduce modular machine designs that give LAM...Go to contribution page

Ulf Ackelid (Freemelt AB)25/11/2019, 16:10Systems & Equipments for MAMOral PresentationAdditive manufacturing provides opportunities for improving properties of existing alloys and developing new material compositions. Materials produced with powder bed fusion (PBF) often exhibit unique microstructures, due to the small melt pool and rapid solidification associated with PBF. Unfortunately, most commercial PBF systems are intended for production only. They are too big for...Go to contribution page
