Metal Additive Manufacturing Conference - MAMC 2022

Metal additive manufacturing is becoming increasingly important for industrial manufacturing. This is ensured by both the further development of existing processes and the development of new manufacturing technologies. This paper covers the practical implementation of a prototype for the validation of the SLEDM process patented by TU Graz. The setup includes a concept for non-contact powder...

Powder based additive manufacturing systems often require support structures for overhanging geometries and thermal dissipation. On the one hand the support material should be reduced to a minimum, on the other hand the stiffness of the structures can be used as a fixture for direct machining. The contribution presents a unique analytic model to determine the stresses occurring in the support...

Lithography-based metal additive manufacturing (LMM) is a novel additive manufacturing technology, which enables the production of functional metal components with smooth surface aesthetics, high feature resolutions and complex shapes, unmatched by other metal additive manufacturing technologies. The LMM printer fabricates so-called green parts applying the principle of photopolymerization...
