3D Printing in Theory & Practice" Event

3D printing in theory & Practice - VDI visits H2Solutions Fulda
Prototype printing by means of 3D printing seems to have long since become part of the usual product development process. In this way, prototypes can already be tested for their functionality during concept and product development. In this context, 3D printing from plastic materials has long been state of the art, but in metal printing and also in other 3D printing processes, there are still some pitfalls in the details. Speakers: Julia Richter, M.Sc, from the Institute of Materials Engineering at the University of Kassel and Dipl.-Ing Volker Heil, H2Solutions Fulda.

3D printing in practice
Mr. Dipl.-Ing Volker Heil, managing director of the company H2Solution from Fulda, will show how variable and fascinating 3D printing looks in practice. He is an experienced professional in the field of 3D printing and offers with his company under the name "Weprint3D" a wide range of products with many different materials and different 3D printing processes.

After the theoretical insight, he will use several practical examples to present the areas of application for the various printing processes and also discuss the respective framework conditions for the production of prototypes, series parts and large-format prints. In this context, the selection of materials plays a particularly important role, as he will exemplify.


3D printing in theory
Ms. Richter from the University of Kassel will provide information on current developments in her presentation "On the properties of additively manufactured metal alloys":
As interest in additive manufacturing increases, so do efforts to produce metallic components with high strength and durability requirements in a near-net-shape state with freely selectable geometries. However, the challenges, especially with metals, lie in dealing with the parameters and the necessary process energies of the respective processes in order to realize the best possible microstructure. In this presentation, opportunities and problems in the processing of titanium, nickel and Fe-based alloys will be presented and the microstructure and properties will be discussed. It will also be shown that the manufacturing method known as 3D printing has new and reproducible combinations of material properties in store for materials research.

Venue:
Bürgerhaus Dirlos, Diorolfstr. 3 in 36093 Künzell
