Genericparts research and transfer- Selective Laser Melting

As part of the GrantSLAM project, the holistic process of selective laser melting (SLM) is being researched from the three key research disciplines of materials, design and process technology.

The additive manufacturing process chain

The interdisciplinary cooperation between the different institutes(IFSW, IKTD, IMWF, IFKB & IFB) makes it possible to bundle core competencies in a targeted manner for the project. In this way, the SLM process is optimized for production.

The goals of the GrantSLAM project are the extended functionalization of SLM-manufactured components, the generation of reproducible component qualities and the solving of process, material and design limitations through the interaction of the three main research areas:

  • Process (ProSLAM (IFSW & IFKB))
  • Material (MatSLAM (IMWF & IFKB))
  • Design (Design4SLAM (IKTD &IFB))

"I like working at ARENA2036 because I can drive forward the interlinking of digitalization and additive manufacturing technologies in the context of Industry 4.0. To this end, we use digital infrastructures and the selective laser melting process to provide manufacturing processes of the future. The aim is the cost-effective and customized production of components in lightweight construction, in combination with a purposefully planned micro- and nanostructure designed for the specific application. This enables the efficient and environmentally friendly use of available resources and the exploitation of the manufacturing potential of additive manufacturing."
