FIT Additive Manufacturing Group and the FAU University of Erlangen-Nuremberg have received a grant notification from the Bavarian State Minister of Science for their joint research project entitled FAB-Weld.

The project aims to break down size limitations associated with SLS 3D printing by welding various printed components together to create individualized series parts.

Overall, the FAB-Weld project is focused on optimizing welding processes for SLS 3D printed plastic materials. With funding from the Bavarian Research Foundation, FIT Additive Manufacturing and the Institute of Polymer Technology (LKT) at the FAU University of Erlangen-Nuremberg will embark on the three-year FAB-Weld research project.

The initiative will also see cooperation from German automotive company BMW. Throughout the project, FIT Additive Manufacturing will be […]
