Scope
For aerospace applications metal additive manufacturing bears potentials for lightweight design and cost-effective low volume productions. Yet, the development and design of mechanical systems is complex, due to great influences of the build process (anisotropic material behaviour, failure modes, etc.) and various DfAM principles and opportunities. Therefore, Additive Manufacturing characteristics are investigated and fed back into the development process.
Results
Approaches for the optimization-driven product development and certification of aircraft structures, considering process, material and design characteristics of metal additive manufacturing. Reduction of physical testing for certification via improved simulations.
