Potential analysis of additively manufactured structures in aeroengine construction

Short Description

By using additive manufacturing in engine construction, geometries are possible that cannot be produced using other manufacturing processes. With the use of fine mechanisms in the structure, a material is created that differs greatly in its properties from conventional materials such as titanium, aluminum and steel. The project accompanies these structures from the model to the application.

Aim/Objective

  • Finding and analyszing novel structures
  • Identification of possible applications in the engine
  • Development through to application
