GenFly - Additive manufacturing of lightweight components

Objective:

Development of the beam melting technologies LBM and EBM for the material Ti-6Al-4V to maturity stage TRL 5+

The work packages of Fraunhofer IFAM comprise the areas of powder, construction and component manufacturing.

Important results include:

• Development of powder specifications for LBM and EBM
• Adaptation of a component for Additive Manufacturing by means of topology optimization with regard to weight and  part integration
