Successful completion of our DFG project: Multidirectional additive manufacturing with the plasma welding process
We are pleased to announce that we have successfully completed our DFG-funded project in cooperation with the Institute of Welding and Joining Technology RWTH Aachen University on multidirectional additive manufacturing with the plasma welding process!
Highlights of the project:
– Process control through unified process monitoring and control in ROS: Thanks to the use of the Robot Operating System (ROS), we were able to realize high-precision process monitoring and control. This ensures optimum process reliability and repeat accuracy.
– Multidirectional trajectory planning: By developing and implementing our path and trajectory planning, we have succeeded in enabling complex welding movements for production. This increases the flexibility and variety of possible applications within additive manufacturing.
– Stable deposition possible even on inclines thanks to workpiece handling: Our solution for workpiece handling makes it possible to achieve stable layer deposition even on inclined surfaces. This expands the areas of application and significantly improves the quality of the manufactured parts.
A big thank you to the entire team for the outstanding collaboration and to the German Research Foundation (DFG) for supporting this groundbreaking project. We are looking forward to the future developments and applications of our research results in industry!
