Metal Additive Manufacturing Conference - MAMC 2021

The inherent inhomogeneity and cyclic thermal loading in metal additive manufacturing (AM) significantly change the microstructural evolution and various types of solid/solid interfaces compared to traditional routes. However, the same AM characteristics will enable targeted microstructure and property control if the current fundamental understanding of the underlying phenomena can be...

Lithographic additive manufacturing (AM) technologies are based on the concept of photopolymerization and are known for their process inherent high precision and good surface quality compared to other AM techniques. In this work, metallic suspensions comprising a photoreactive binder and 316L powder (50vol%) were used as starting material. After printing, the obtained green parts undergo a...

Additive manufacturing (AM) has gained traction in orthopedics, so why isn’t it a plug-and-play technology yet? While AM has existed for years, mass implementation takes longer than most expect because AM requires a different approach to design and comprehensive knowledge of the entire process. This presentation will review ways that AM can add value and save when design and process are...

During the last ten years, additive manufacturing by using power bed fusion technology has become a very reliable technology to produce complex metallic parts. Layer by layer manufacturing allows the integration of a fiber bragg grating inside the parts during the fabrication. The latter opens a lot of possibilities for structural health monitoring. It has a critical impact for the monitoring...
