Metal Additive Manufacturing Conference - MAMC 2026

Hydrogen micro-mixing burners require homogeneous fuel-oxidizer mixing because the local hydrogen distribution affects flame stability, flashback susceptibility,and emission behavior. Additive manufacturing enables compact burner geometries with small, inclined fuel passages and tailored injection arrangements. However, this geometric freedom creates a design space that cannot be efficiently...

Artificial intelligence (AI) can enable adaptive, in-process quality assurance in arc-based manufacturing and wire-arc directed energy deposition (wire-arc DED). Industrial deployment lags behind. Machine environments are heterogeneous, sensor systems are proprietary, and transferable concepts for feeding process data into AI-based monitoring are missing. AI already works for isolated welding...

Parts produced by Powder Bed Fusion with Laser Beam of Metals (PBF-LB/M) are susceptible to thermally induced defects during the manufacturing process. The thermal history of parts can be assessed through Optical Tomography (OT), an in-situ monitoring technique that captures layer-wise integrated near-infrared emission intensity during the build process. Acquiring reference OT images in...

Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB/M) enables the tool-free manufacturing of complex metallic components. However, the often-emphasized geometric freedom of PBF-LB/M is limited by the insufficient transferability of process parameters developed on simple reference geometries to real components with locally varying geometric conditions. In particular, thin-walled sections, overhangs and filigree...
