Technologies along the entire process chain

Fraunhofer IAPT offers a wide range of technologies and systems in the field of Additive Manufacturing (AM) and laser technology. Depending on the component requirements, we can always select the appropriate production technology and corresponding AM system. This applies to both the metal and polymer sectors. From Binder Jetting (BJ) over Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) for delicate medical implants to Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) for large structures, and laser hybrid joining of components produced by different methods, we can select suitable processes for your specific requirements. In doing so, we always take into account the integration of the technology into the entire process chain in order to get the best out of your components.

Our portfolio of technologies and AM systems is regularly expanded. We strive to provide our customers with the best solution for their application, regardless of the technology or manufacturer. Some of the procedures and equipment available to us are listed below.
