High-precision CNC kinematics for reliable tool guidance

Additive functionalisation & local stiffening using fibre-reinforced 3D printing in the EmpowerAX demo part

ArtikelBy

Additive functionalisation is multifaceted and ranges from printing local stiffening ribs to integrating assembly and adhesive aids to introducing electrical conductors into the component. The basic structure of the component can be produced using an established process, such as tape laying for the production of large-area structures. Using fibre-reinforced 3D printing (short and continuous fibre-reinforced,…
