Fraunhofer Competence Field Additive Manufacturing
The Fraunhofer Competence Field Additive Manufacturing integrates eighteen Fraunhofer society, Fraunhofer institutes across Germany, which depending on their main focus, deal with subjects concerning 3D printing, additive manufacturing and represent the entire process chain. This includes the development, application and implementation of additive production processes as well as associated materials. Topics may cover all aspects of additive manufacturing, such as: materials and technologies, assessing and improving the quality of 3D printed parts, optimizing parts for various criteria (weight, stiffness, etc.) and digital workflow (slicers, adaptive machine control). The network was founded as Fraunhofer Rapid Prototyping Alliance in 1998 and was relaunched as Fraunhofer Additive Manufacturing Alliance in 2008, when additive manufacturing took off as a manufacturing technology of the future. In 2021 Fraunhofer reorganizes its research areas in order to better meet the industrial r ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
