Additive Manufacturing (2/2)

u Specific Adaptation • Design

u The parts should be designed according to the Additive Manufacturing process

u Performance optimization according to EBM process

• Industrializationu Design should integrate the production efficiency

• Manufacturingu Maximize the number of parts per batch in the EBM machine u Specific training for machining

It’s why our project requiresthe SIRRIS expertise

Perspectives

u Increasing the production rateu Optimization of the design including

Lattice structures. u Optimization of the production

parameters to reduce the finishing operations.

u Development of new products (fastening, …)

Conclusions

u Based on our experience, Titanium AdditiveManufacturing is a very efficient technology.• High mechanical performance• Design to very low weight• Attractive cost.

u But which requires a specific organization toget the highest benifits.
