Metal Additive Manufacturing Conference - MAMC 2026

Hybrid additive-subtractive manufacturing parts made from hybrid powder-wrought tool steel using laser powder bed fusion have proven to be a cost-effective strategy for injection moulding tool applications. This article reports the development of a hybrid powder-wrought hardened stainless alloy steel with balanced strength and hardness for such applications. In this study, the mechanical...

Metal additive manufacturing enables the production of complex near net shape geometries but remains limited in achieving the dimensional tolerances required for functional assembly features. Consequently, post process CNC machining is commonly employed within hybrid AM-CNC workflows to manufacture precision features. A potential advantage of this approach is the direct use of additively...

Combining Laser Powder Bed Fusion of Metals (PBF-LB/M) with hot isostatic pressing (HIP) allows a process route that does not has to aim for maximum component density during additive manufacturing. Porosity introduced during PBF-LB/M canbe reduced through subsequent HIP treatment. This allows to combine higher build rates with high component quality and a microstructure optimized by HIP. This...

Over the last decades, AM has experienced rapid growth. Its applications have expanded from conventional metallic materials to intermetallic compounds and increasingly to advanced alloy systems. This development creates a growing demand for tailored feedstocks that are specifically designed for both the intended application and the AM process used. These feedstocks include not only the final...
