Metal Additive Manufacturing

Additive Manufacturing opens new design opportunities for products development and at the same time reveals a new insight over metal materials properties and performance, due to the peculiar processing features deeply different form conventional production processes. ICMATE explores the new frontiers of metal materials production&performance achieved by additive processes.

ACTIVITIES:

• Additive processes & parameters optimization
• Laser powder bed fusion studies of commercial metallic materials (aluminium, titanium, copper, high entropy alloys)
• Additive processing of novel materials
• Prototypes production · Production through SLM
  • Shape memory jewels
  • Costumised prosthesis struts
  • Micro-channel heat exchangers
