Grinding tools with superabrasive grains can be manufactured from different bond materials. In several industrial applications, metallic bond systems are used. In general, these show good grain retention and offer a high ...

The use of automated fiber placement (AFP) to manufacture integrated CFRP stiffening structures leads to a conflict between structural requirements and process limitations in early design stages. In order to avoid costly ...

Due to the ever-increasing resolution of 3D printing technology, additive manufacturing is now even used to produce complex devices for laboratory applications. Personalized experimental devices or entire cultivation systems ...

Prosthetic implants, particularly hip endoprostheses, often lead to stress shielding because of a mismatch in compliance between the bone and the implant material, adversely affecting the implant’s longevity and effectiveness. ...

This article examines various additively manufactured heat exchangers for high-temperature applications. The heat exchangers differ in terms of their internal fin structure as well as optimizations in terms of manufacturing ...

Additive manufacturing allows designers to create geometries that would not be possible or economical to manufacture using traditional manufacturing processes. Production with these technologies does, however, introduce a ...

For the successful production of high quality parts by selective laser melting, various process steps are required. Besides the SLM process itself, different pre- and rework steps are needed to produce a final component. ...

In this paper, I present my personal view on the possible development and applications of laser printing technologies based on laser-induced forward transfer of inorganic and biological materials. Laser printing of micro- ...

Additive manufacturing has gained interest in the industry due to its flexibility in design and the possibility to integrate functionalities. Thereby, glass has a high potential to be developed also in this field due to ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) processes offer new possibilities in the design of concrete components. The process chain for AM processes generally consists of component design, print path generation, and manufacturing. Within ...
