Webinar: Process Phenomena and Influences on Additive Manufacturing
Webinar in cooperation with Fraunhofer IWS Dresden, Germany
The results of additive processes such as Laser Metal Deposition (LMD), direct energy deposition (DED) or laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) depend on a variety of process parameters and influences. The lecture gives an overview on specific process phenomena and their controlled modification aiming to achieve a defect-free material deposition on the emerging AM component. With a well defined process management, challenging materials (e.g. copper, steel, nickel) can be applied layer by layer resulting in printed parts that are free of cracks and with few porosities which is confirmed with non-destructive techniques such as CT.
