Research Project IDAM

Despite its advancements over the last years, large-scale series production scenarios based on Additive Manufacturing (AM) are still scarcely found. For this reason, a consortium of twelve partners (Automotive OEMs and suppliers, automation and IT experts and established special equipment manufacturers for laser beam melting (LBM), powder handling and post-processing) has been formed to jointly

Research Project AddSteel

Main objective of the project AddSteel is the optimization of steel materials for Additive Manufacturing. This includes alloy as well as process development as well as material- and part characterization. Besides material science related issues, the project also addresses an economical analysis of the production process from atomization to the finished part. This project is

Research Project AddToP

Aconity has teamed up with partners from industry & research to jointly develop a technology processor for laser beam melting (LBM). Main objective is to enable the application of knowledge-based adaptive processing strategies without the requirement of expert know-how. By this means, the process parameters for part production are optimized under technological, ecological and economical

Process Monitoring at Aconity3D

Aconity3D has shown first results of its high-speed CMOS process monitoring tool during 2018’s Aachener Kolloquium for Laser Technology (AKL) in Aachen. The process monitoring tool allows for in-line identification of the influence of changed process parameters on the to-be-built part. The featured video shows a comparisson of the size of the melt pool for
