5 axis hybrid multiprocess center (machining + LMD): ZVH Add+Process

Integration, evaluation and advice in the improvement of new equipment, sensors and accessories for additive manufacturing by LMD (3D measurement scanners, LMD heads, postprocessors, simulation tools, etc.).

Optimization of process parameters, material selection for improvement of properties (hardness, wear resistance, etc.) of areas subjected to high wear.

Development of databases and models that relate the characteristics of the added material (geometry) with the monitored process parameters.

Optimization of part manufacturing through combination of machining and LMD processes. Development of toolpaths and manufacturing of a demonstrator part.

Parameters optimization, toolpath programming and simulation, 3D part manufacturing or feature addition, finishing by machining and part measuring.

Defect detection by structured light technology, restructuring of the part by machining, laser cladding and finishing. Capability of automating the entire repairing/recovery process

To give support in the redesign of the parts that are going to be manufactured by LMD

Powder characterization, evaluation of the processability of new powders by means of the LMD technology, characterization of metallurgical/mechanical properties that are obtained when processing by LMD, search of optimum LMD parameters for processing the powder.

Practical training in the LMD process and machine management.
