Resilient and Resource-efficient AM of large/complex components
PBF-LB is a promising AM technique for producing complex, high-end components, but challenges in sustainability, efficiency, and scalability persist, especially for large components with intricate features. Overcoming these gaps is crucial for industrial adoption and the focus of our research.
Purpose and goal
The Res2AM project aims to develop a sustainable and resilient additive manufacturing (AM) process for large and complex metallic components using Powder Bed Fusion Laser Beam (PBF-LB), particularly targeting the Aerospace and Energy sectors.
Stage1- Feasibility study
In Phase 1, a feasibility study will be conducted to develop and test pilot solutions that address key challenges in material efficiency, process stability and quality assurance. These efforts will lay the groundwork for a system demonstrator designed to reduce waste, enhance production efficiency, and achieve first-time-right manufacturing, paving the way for industrial implementation in subsequent phases.
Expected outcome
The objective of Res2AM is to significantly reduce material waste and energy consumption by enabling first-time-right AM, aligning with the Net Zero Industry's goals. With full system implementation, we expect first-time-right AM of large-scale metallic parts, cutting material waste by 50% through accelerated process development and monitoring.
