Development and validation of integrated multiprocess HYbrid PROduction CELLs for rapid individualized laser-based production (HyproCell)

Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2019,

Individualised production is an emerging trend in manufacturing. Laser-based Additive Manufacturing (LBAM) fits well with this trend, due to its capability of transforming digital designs directly into physical products. LBAM is not yet competitive for a widespread industrial adoption: post-processing operations are necessary and they are not currently integrated, human intervention is needed to o ...
