Webinar: The road to 10kg/h – What it took to increase the build rate of loaded duplex stainless steel components
About:
The manufacturing industry needs to become more sustainable, resilient, and innovative to maximise benefits for society and the economy while lowering its environmental impact. The SustainablE Steel Additive Manufacturing (SESAM) project addresses those challenges by exploring integrating Laser-beam Directed Energy Deposition with wire (DED-LB/w), into duplex stainless-steel production.
In this webinar, experts from PROCADA will share exclusive insights into the process and what it took to increase the build rate over time, including challenges faced over time.
Key topics will be:
- Challenge and process overview
- Equipment challenges and solutions
- Process development methods
- Data management and evaluation
Join us for an engaging and informative session that will inspire new perspectives on the future of additive manufacturing.
About the project:
The SustainablE Steel Additive Manufacturing (SESAM) project seeks to show how Laser-beam Directed Energy Deposition with wire (DED-LB/w) can be brought into real production and well-integrated into the existing supply chain, and to investigate whether such a technology could yield significant returns on investment and reduce the environmental footprint of production. By upscaling the use of the technology, the project team aims to show whether the technology can lower the climate impact of production, make large metallic structures simpler to build, and give rise to new business models.
The project is led by University West and co-funded by Vinnova, Sweden’s Innovation Agency. Learn more about the project here.
After this webinar, you will be able to:
- Understand the challenges in using DED-LB/w for high deposition rate AM processes
- Understand the impact of different parts of the deposition system and how they affect the performance of the complete system
- Get insight into suitable technologies and solutions for high-quality DED-LB/w AM
