GrantSLAM
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))

About the University of Stuttgart
Project participation in the ARENA2036
The University of Stuttgart and many of its institutes are involved in the ARENA2036 research platform:
Institute of Aircraft Design (IFB)
Institute of Parallel and Distributed Systems (IPVS)
Institute of Plastics Technology (IKT)
Institute of Textile Technology, Fiber-based Materials and Textile Machine Engineering (ITFT)
Institute of Control Engineering of Machine Tools and Manufacturing Units (ISW)
Institute of Ergonomics and Technology Management (IAT)
Institute of Internal Combustion Engines and Automotive Engineering (IVK)
Institute of Electrical Energy Conversion (iew)
Institute of Educational Science, Department of Vocational, Business and Technical Education (BWT)
Institute of Energy Transmission and High Voltage Technology (IEH)
Institute of Polymer Chemistry (IPOC)
Institute of Linguistics: English Studies (IfLA)
Institute of Industrial Manufacturing and Factory Operation (IFF)
Institute of Materials Handling and Logistics (IFT)
Institute of Shotblasting Tools (IFSW)
The Institute of Aircraft Design (IFB), for example, is involved in the LeiFu project and the DigitPro project with several employees in ARENA2036. The Khoch3 project is supported by university employees from BWT.
The integration of the ARENA2036 research building into the university campus forms the perfect basis for an intensive and interdisciplinary transfer of expertise between science and industry. This is what the guiding principle "Industry on Campus" stands for.
