FunkDAF: Multidimensional additive manufacturing

March 5th, 2025 | by

At the IGMR, we are working on the next generation of additive manufacturing as part of the DFG-funded FunkDAF research project together with the MSE and VCI institutes: layerless, multidimensional material deposition.

🔹 What does that mean?
Multiaxial additive manufacturing with a robot-guided print bed allows us to deposit material along specific stress paths. This leads to improved material utilization and reduces the disadvantages of layer-by-layer construction.

🔹 Our challenges:
– Precise robot guidance along the print paths
– Synchronization of extruder and robot movement
– Constant printing speed for maximum quality

The print paths are generated on the VCI from FEM stress data – resulting in mechanically optimized structures. 💡

Project Launch: AuBa@C – Automation of Battery Disassembly

March 4th, 2025 | by

We kicked-off our new project “AuBa@C – Automation of Battery Disassembly using Advanced Hardware and Software for Battery Recycling” together with cylib. Here at IGMR, we conduct research into automated disassembly using robots. In the project together with cylib, we can transfer our expertise from projects such as Bots2ReC, SHEREC or di.monta to the disassembly of EV batteries.

We are excited to collaborate with cylib (Dr. Stefan-Octavian Bezrucav (Head of Pre-Processing and Robotics Expert) and Sara Ognjanovic (Project Manager for Automation in Battery Discharge and Disassembly).)

This project is supported by the “KUER.NRW | Grüne Gründungen Nordrhein-Westfalen” funding initiative, under the framework of the European Regional Development Fund (EFRE/JTF NRW 2021-2027), coordinated by the Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Transport of North Rhine-Westphalia and the Projektträger Jülich (PtJ).
