Productive, affordable and reliable solution for large-scale manufacturing of metal components, combining additive and subtractive processes based on high-efficiency laser.
Development of an integrated economic and accessible hybrid manufacturing solution for manufacturers of high added value metal components. This project contributes to the final industrialisation of additive manufacturing, through its combination with conventional machining and the development of technologies that bring reliability, robustness and knowledge to the process.
Use of the Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) technology has been fostered, providing a productive and reliable solution to combine LMD and subtractive processes in the same hybrid machine, in a profitable way, with structured knowledge of LMD processes along with Cax technologies, developing smart components and ad-hoc monitoring and control for this hybrid solution.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme, under Grant Agreement No. 723440.
