Additive manufacturing creates a new world of product design.
"Advanced Manufacturing" is the digital revolution in the workshop. It is reason, that products with very specific features can now be produced at all. The cutting edge and what is really "advanced" in Advanced Manufacturing is the fact that products with very specific features can now be produced at all, that rapid prototyping processes pass over from the engineering department to the production halls and that highly individual customer requests are providing completely new opportunities for companies normally doing series production. These areas of research are going to be gathered together and systematically developed by the Institute of Production Engineering. All this will be done in a very practice-oriented way for students as well as partners of industry in the so called "smartfactory@tugraz" which is currently under construction. Selective laser melting. In the meantime Additive Manufacturing (better known as 3D printing) is being carried out using all kinds of materials, such as metals, plastics, ceramics, concrete and also biogenic materials.
