Industrial metal 3D printing
Keywords: Additive manufacturing, metal materials, dissimilar metals, welding, machining
We are developing technology that enables the shaping of metals using a device known as a 3D printer. This technology allows for the direct creation of target shapes from three-dimensional design data by locally melting and solidifying metal, and it is referred to as Additive Manufacturing (AM). There are several methods within AM technology, but among them, the method that applies welding technology enables low-cost and high-efficiency production suitable for manufacturing large products such as aircraft components and molds. Specifically, it allows for the creation of lightweight and high-strength structures that are difficult to achieve with other processing methods, as well as the manufacturing of products with unprecedented material properties through integrated shaping using multiple types of metal materials. We are engaged in elucidating the shaping principles of AM technology, evaluating shaped objects, developing processing technologies to create products with high added value that are impossible to achieve with existing processing methods, and proposing process design methods that include finishing processes.
