CT-for-AM-Process-Phenomena

Webinar: Process Phenomena and Influences on Additive Manufacturing

Webinar on September 21st, 2021 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.

What you will learn:
  • How selected phenomena influence the additive manufacturing processes
  • How the control of these phenomena contributes to tailor-made technology processes
  • How crack sensitive materials can be processed
The webinar took place on September 21st, 2021.
Soon we will publish the recording of this webinar here.
