Sharing ideas on additive manufacturing with the University of Ljubljana

The experts are currently looking at the feasibility of combining 3D welding and sensor technology. Measuring temperature as well as the geometry using lasers should support and help to improve additive manufacturing. In additive welding, layers of filler material (beads) are built up on top of one another to create a 3D shape. Measuring the bead immediately after welding allows the next bead to be re-configured so that a precisely structured geometry can be built up. In order to develop this process further, during the visit to Wels, Fronius and the researchers from the University of Ljubljana shared ideas and their experiences of additive manufacturing using CMT.
