Additive manufacturing (AM) has become increasingly important over the last decade and the quality of the products generated with AM technology has strongly improved. The most common metals that are processed by AM techniques ...

NiTi shape memory alloys are considered to be difficult to machine. Dimensional accuracy can hardly be met especially in micro-machining. Being a non-contact tool and therefore independent from machining forces, the laser ...

Automated Fiber Placement is an important manufacturing process when it comes to aerospace part generation. To minimize the machine downtime, an online monitoring system is necessary to prevent time consuming visual ...

Ball nose end mills are usually applied during 5-axes machining of high functional parts especially in the aerospace industry. The systematical study of the relationship between process forces and kinematics, surface ...

Within the scope of the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1153 novel process chains for the production of hybrid solid components by Tailored Forming are developed at the Leibniz Universität Hannover. The combination of ...

The optical data transfer is considered as the future of signal transfer due to its various advantages compared to conventional copper-based technologies. The Aerosol Jet Printing (AJP) technology offers the opportunity ...
