Towards the Next Generation Fast and Energy Efficient Arc-Resistance Hybrid Additive Manufacturing (ARHAM). KU Leuven
Current metal additive manufacturing (AM) involves a large amount of energy in the manufacture of feedstock powders or wires and then globally melt them to create the near-net shapes. Concurrently, sheet lamination AM techniques minimize energy use on the cost of strength or scalability. The proposed research is a step in the direction of the metal AM parts with the desired strength and with sufficient low lead time and energy consumption, ...
