IDEA Project Lights Way for Industrial-Scale Laser 3D Printing

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Following completion of a multiyear project, collaborators on an initiative of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) have reported their demonstration of a production approach they believe will enable large corporations, as well as SMEs (small- and medium-size companies), to additively manufacture individualized components in medium batch sizes economically. Project IDEA was launched three years ago with the goal of industrializing additive manufacturing for both OEMs and SMEs. The project brought together partners from industry, two Fraunhofer Institutes (Laser...Read full article

    additive manufacturing
    Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is a manufacturing process that involves creating three-dimensional objects by adding material layer by layer. This is in contrast to traditional manufacturing methods, which often involve subtracting or forming materials to achieve the desired shape. In additive manufacturing, a digital model of the object is created using computer-aided design (CAD) software, and this digital model is then sliced into thin cross-sectional layers. The...
    3d printing
    3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), is a manufacturing process that builds three-dimensional objects layer by layer from a digital model. This technology allows the creation of complex and customized structures that would be challenging or impossible with traditional manufacturing methods. The process typically involves the following key steps: Digital design: A three-dimensional digital model of the object is created using computer-aided design (CAD) software. This...
