Metal Additive Manufacturing Conference - MAMC 2023

..

Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology has been dramatically attracting attention as a breakthrough technology in advanced manufacturing. However, Japan lags behind Europe and the U.S.A. in addressing this technology. Therefore, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japanese Government established a new research association, “Technology Research Association for Future Additive...

How can we reduce the cost per parts of metal applications? How do we succeed in the growth of series production?
"Smart Fusion", the innovative EOS software, is not only the solution to these questions, but also ensures a resource-saving and Responsible Manufacturing.

In recent years, Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) has become a viable manufacturing technique for production due to the possibility to manufacture complex parts without additional tools. Nevertheless, to facilitate a wider industrial adoption of LPBF, current deficits such as lack of productivity and robustness need to be overcome. The enhancement of process boundaries and the development of the...

Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) is one of the most important additive manufacturing processes and extremely flexible in terms of geometrical freedom. With regard to the materials to be processed, however, this flexibility is not yet given in PBF-LB. In general, a limited variety of standard alloys is available. Thus, powders for specialized applications are often very expensive. A new...

The Horizon Europe project MULTi-FUN was creating novel solutions which shall enable multi-functional performance through multi-material additive manufacturing. In the years 2020-2023, successful developments were performed with respect to wire-arc AM machinery, customized materials as well as improved multi-material processing.

The three use cases contain demonstrators related to aerospace...

The speech will also focus on the production of Metal Powders and Powder Metallurgical Steels and especially its associated production technologies like HIP, MIM and AM. As they are and will become key future core technologies for a number of demanding products and thus for the usage in different associated industries. The presentation will also highlight the actual supply and demand situation...

Additive manufacturing offers broad potential for cooling and heating molds or components. Well-balanced, near-contour temperature control channels were only the first step. Modern concepts should be highly energy efficient, meaning both reduction of the component's carbon footprint and optimization of the production process. These can include multi-material solutions (e.g. copper/steel),...
