Additive Manufacturing
Tailor-made Materials for new Applications
Complex geometries, individualized components, flexible and fast development processes – additive manufacturing promises these and many other advantages. However, in order to fully develop its potential, the young technology still has to tackle many challenges. It is important to perceive additive manufacturing not only as a replacement for known technologies, but to use its strengths to generate added value. Therefore three aspects are essential for us: an optimal interplay of material and process, the intelligent use of the digital environment and the focus on applications where advantages such as individualization or functionalization can be fully exploited.
Another core competence of our target-oriented research is the implementation of the entire process chain from raw material to processing to the final component. Currently, our focus is on thermoplastic-based fused filament fabrication (FFF) and thermoset-based digital light processing (DLP). Neue Materialien Bayreuth GmbH also offers access to other additive manufacturing technologies https://www.nmbgmbh.de/verfahren/additive-fertigung/.
