Utvikling av metode og tjenesteleveranse for industriell bruk av Laser-DED i 3D printing

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

The project aims to develop and validate L-DED for demanding alloys such as Inconel 625. Through simulation, systematic experiments and a full-scale demonstrator, MIL will generate new, verifiable knowledge on process settings, the interaction of printing and machining, and practical quality control. The outcome is not limited to technical insights, but also the ability to offer DED services to Norwegian industry. These services include production of complex and large components, structured evaluation of whether L-DED is a viable alternative for a given design, and sharing of experience with companies considering adoption. By turning experimental know-how into a repeatable production and service model, MIL lowers the barrier for companies that want to explore additive manufacturing. The project therefore strengthens MIL’s role as a national competence center and contributes to the wider adoption of advanced metal AM in sectors such as oil and gas, maritime, and heavy industry.
