Laser additive manufacturing with diode, fibre or disc lasers offers outstanding possibilities for applications in aircraft manufacturing or maintenance. High-precision laser additive manufacturing requires precise tolerances of all the components like laser beam, machine configuration, powder delivery, media supply as well as process parameters and control. Only the right interaction of all components leads to precise structures. Fraunhofer IWS in Dresden has a wide experience in improvement of processes and system components for laser additive manufacturing of aircraft components and excellent equipment. Continue reading →
