High-Precision Hybrid Laser-based Additive & Subtractive Manufacturing (Hi-PAS).

The consortium aims to achieve two main goals with this SBO project. First, through a rigorous research methodology to better understand how the roughness fatigue life of additive-made metallic components can be significantly improved. We anticipate this by rolling out a multidisciplinary approach, i.e. in terms of surface and shape metrology, non-invasive quantification of the residual stress and mapping of the process parameters that have an influence on the corrosion mechanisms. Moreover, a strong asset in this project is the possibility to also investigate the interrelationships between phenomena. The second main goal is to build up fundamental knowledge on how the laser-based hybrid production process can be substantially improved: In particular to be able to make complex-shaped metallic components with high precision and this without further intensive post-processing (in particular also known as " first-time-right approach).
