Hybrid Laser-based additive - subtractive research platform (HyLaForm) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Applied Mechanics, KU Leuven
The state-of-the-art hybrid laser based additive and subtractive research platform will consist out of 2 complementary modular research machines. Each machine will combine an additive manufacturing technique, also called 3D printing, with laser beam (micro) machining as a subtractive approach. The applied additive manufacturing techniques are selective laser melting (SLM) and laser metal deposition (LMD) within the platform.
