Selective laser beam melting of multi-phase systems (A06)

• Subject Area: Production Automation and Assembly Technology
• Term: from 2015 to 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 61375930

The goal of sub-project A6 is to generate graded part properties by local insertion of fillers and polymer blend powders by vibration nozzles in selective laser beam melting of polymers. In addition, methods for orientating fibers along z-direction to generate a higher part strength will be implemented. New degrees of freedom in setting part properties will be enabled. Thereby, the effects of locally inserted as well as oriented particles on process control will be the subject of research.
