Research on Intelligent Hybridization of multilaser Direct Energy Deposition aditivamente manufacturing technologies for transversal sectors (HIDEA)
Research on the intelligent hybridization of multilaser direct energy deposition additive manufacturing technologies in cross-sectors
AEI Call for Proposals: Public-Private Projects 2023
HIDEA CPP2023-010823
- PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
- GOALS
To investigate the hybrid process of the multi-laser Direct Energy Deposition (DED) AM technology developed by MELTIO following different strategies: subtractive-additive processes, multi-metal manufacturing, and hybrid additive metal manufacturing-forming. Prior parameterization of Ti and SS alloys using the new MELTIO equipment with blue laser will be required, as well as the parallel development of a robotic cell with integrated measurement for intelligent process monitoring. The different hybridization strategies will be validated through the hybrid manufacturing of demonstrators for the naval and railway sectors with the selected Ti and SS alloys, providing the best commercial solutions.
- DURATION: 11/01/2024 – 10/31/2027
