EXPAMET
The focus of the Expamet ICON project is to improve the productivity of the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process on two lightweight alloys.
Additionally, the project will look at ways to improve the final product quality for parts made in the selected alloys by process monitoring and improving repeatability of the process and post-processing.
This project is part of:
STRuctural Engineering materials (metals, plastics, composites) processed by means of additive manufacturing (AM) result in light weight parts with a high freedom of design, complex geometries and customer specific features. The AM-process performance is determined by the printing material properties, the printing parameters and the supporting monitoring and simulating software tools.
