Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT
Formnext
Frankfurt am Main, Germany, November 19 – 22, 2024
Hall 11, Stand D31
How does an additively manufactured semi-finished product become a high-quality component for industrial use?
Additive processes such as Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) offer high flexibility and resource efficiency in individual and small series production. But only through appropriate post-processing does the component achieve the surface quality that industrial use requires.
At Formnext 2023, the Fraunhofer IPT, together with eleven other Fraunhofer institutes, will show examples of numerous processes and their combinations: conventional processes for smoothing surfaces such as milling and sandblasting, but also vibratory grinding, stream finishing, plasma processes, laser beam structuring, selective coating and painting.
The institutes' joint exhibit in Hall 11.0, Stand D3 offers trade fair guests a compact overview of the variety of different technologies and invites them to discuss specific challenges.
