Metal Additive Manufacturing Conference - MAMC 2022

Components made from wire can be found in almost all complex products. In the wire drawing process, hot rolled wire is drawn through a single or a series of tools, which reduces the cross-section of the wire and enhances the mechanical properties of the material. The tribological conditions in the process are extreme and the high frictional forces between the wire and the die results in high...

Current Qualification and Certification methods of Additive Manufactured aviation products are based on Point Design (or Qualification) approaches. Multiple destructive testing routines are performed per part number to qualify the manufacturing process.
Considering the large sources of variability affecting part quality in Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes, and the rapid innovations of...

Latest development in multi-material design realised by metal additive layer manufacturing technologies include the integration of sensors & conductors.
Specifically electrical conductors out of metal (e.g. copper) have to be insulated from the metal solid to avoid short circuiting and provide the designed functionality over the lifetime.
The presented investigations involve several...

Upcoming, increasingly stringent greenhouse gas as well as emission limits demand for powertrain electrification throughout all vehicle applications. Increasing complexity of electrified powertrain architectures require an overall system approach combining modular component technology with integration and industrialization requirements when heading for further significant efficiency...

Abstract: Additive Manufacturing challenges in Fine Blanking in Faurecia Seating

Lead time and cost reductions are key objectives in the Automotive Industry ,and it is particularly important for tooling spare parts .Reducing inventories gives a balance between stocks versus avoid mis-deliveries to final customers; reduce volume of stored spares can occur a positive financial ratio...

This work is a feasibility study for the usage of hybrid cast and WAAM manufactured components from a material science perspective. An A356 aluminium alloy in T6 condition was taken as cast substrate and a, regarding the chemical composition, identical AlSi7Mg wire was used to add structures. The welding was accomplished using a Fronius TPSi400 operating in CMT mode. Fundamental trends for the...

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is a manufacturing process capable of additively fabricating injection mould inserts with conformal cooling channels (CCC) in various steels. This article reports the results of a case study in which an injection mould insert is produced using a newly developed hybrid-build hybrid-metal LPBF technique combined with conventional manufacturing methods. A broken...

In Additive Manufacturing (AM), the method of Parametric Modeling (PM) is often used for the design development and creation of products. However, this approach is not yet widely used for the development of tools for production machines and processes. In the production of hairpin stators (an innovative technology for the copper winding of the static component of an electric motor for electric...
