Metal Additive Manufacturing Conference - MAMC 2021

Different aspects of quality assessments for Additive Manufacturing (AM) parts are founded on complicated phenomena governed by intrinsic multi-physical and multi-phase interactions. To investigate the dynamic and fatigue performances of AM parts, variety of techniques including new hybrid physical-data driven scheme have been investigated. Hybrid modelling is one of the new trends in analyses...

The rise of additive manufacturing has enabled new degrees of freedom in terms of design and functionality. In this context, this contribution addresses the design and characterization of structural unit cells that are intended as building blocks of highly porous lattice structures with tailored properties. While typical lattice structures are often composed of gyroid or diamond lattices, this...

Plasma Metal Deposition (PMD) is a Direct Energy Deposition (DED) method which allows to fabricate large and heavy parts by using wire or powder as feedstock which are fed into a plasma arc. PMD® allows the building of structures using deposition rates in the kilogram range. Besides the manufacturing of structural parts, the PMD process can be used for the fabrication of integrated cooling...

In the Horizon 2020 project MULTI-FUN, the manufacturing of fully integrated multi-functionalities of metal parts is in the main focus. These functionalities include enhanced active/passive heat management embedded fibre-optical sensing as well as integrated electrical conductivity.
Several additive layer manufacturing technologies are under development to generate both the internal...
