At the TU Darmstadt – Additive Manufacturing Center we had the final project meeting for the “AddLight” project. In the consortium of

• MATFEM Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH (wird in neuem Tab geöffnet)
• AM Metals GmbH (wird in neuem Tab geöffnet)
• EOS (wird in neuem Tab geöffnet)
• BMW Group (wird in neuem Tab geöffnet)
• Institute for Product Development and Machine Elements – pmd (wird in neuem Tab geöffnet)
• Lightweight Engineering and Structural Mechanics department – LSM (wird in neuem Tab geöffnet)
• Center for Structural Materials (Zentrum für Konstruktionswerkstoffe) (wird in neuem Tab geöffnet)
• Institute for Production Management, Technology and Machine Tools – PTW

we reviewed our results and we are excited to make a large contribution to increasing the use of additive manufacturing in lightweight construction with our research project. The project concentrated on process-structure property relationships with a focus on fatigue strength analysis for the automotive industry of topology-optimized and lattice structures.

We express our gratitude to Project Management Juelich (PtJ) (wird in neuem Tab geöffnet) and the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (wird in neuem Tab geöffnet) for recognizing the valuable impact of our project and for supporting our endeavors through funding in the Technology Transfer Program Lightweight Construction.
