Additive manufacturing methods, like Selective Laser Melting
(SLM)*, can be a main driver for producing individualized products
for nearly the same costs as mass produced products. The basic
principle of Additive Manufacturing is to manufacture a part layerby-
layer, utilizing e.g. metal powder. Hereby, a three-dimensional
manufacturing task can be reduced to two dimensions, so that
the manufacturing costs do not depend upon the geometric complexity,
but rather only upon the volume of the component to be
built. This way, SLM provides a range of systematic advantages
when is it compared to conventional manufacturing processes
such as primary shaping or machining, like the opportunity of
light weight construction, mass individualization or quick Time-tomarket
reaction.
The seminar "Potentials of the powder based AM process Selective
Laser Melting (SLM)” contains an overview of the process and
the processable materials, main application, (economically and
technological) potential of the technology as well as the freedom
for the component design.
The seminar will be held by experts from Fraunhofer ILT, which has
long-term experience in Selective Laser Melting.
A seminar for…
Professionals and managers of technology oriented companies,
particularly in the field of research and development, plant management,
technology management and corporate development.
