Metal Additive Manufacturing Conference - MAMC 2022

The Collective Research Project 3DWELDING // Additive Fabrication of Structural Steel Elements investigates the possibilities of 3D printing with steel (WAAM - Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing) in the construction industry. The goal of the project team, which consists of university partners and industrial partners along the value chain, is to develop a fast, economical and stable...

One of the main advantages of Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes such as Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) is the possibility to manufacture complex near-net-shape components. Therefore, the L-PBF process is becoming increasingly important for the manufacturing and repair of gas turbine blades. Despite the great freedom in design, there are also limitations to the process. Manufacturing...

Additive Manufacturing (AM) has an increasing impact on modern fabrication processes. Especially in terms of tools, gauges and other consumables like grippers and fixtures, AM proofs to decrease costs and speeds up development processes. In addition to metal AM processes 3D-sand-printing (3DSP) may fill the gap towards larger parts with several tons of weight for example tooling frames for...

Additive Manufacturing (AM) provides new constructive possibilities for design engineers. Many structures with features like cavities or lattice structures are difficult or impossible to manufacture using conventional methods such as casting or machining while AM can enable this difficulty. However, missing knowledge of the mechanical properties of individual lattice structures is still an...

In recent years, additive manufacturing has become increasingly relevant for producing magnetic materials due to higher demands for miniaturisation and complex-shaped magnet parts. With laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), magnet parts of the Fe-Cr-Co system can be produced with notable shape accuracy. The chemical composition can be modified directly in the printing chamber with the in-situ...
