Ernst-Abbe-Hochschule Jena

Development of a method and a process chain for manufacturing foamed components via large-volume melt processing

A highlight at the booth of the Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences (EAH) Jena is the presentation of components made from foamed plastics using Large Scale Additive Manufacturing (LSAM). The exhibits on display were created as part of the research project “3D-Foam.”

FAST Forward: Accelerating Aerospace Innovation with Additive Manufacturing and Digital Process Integration

What if aerospace prototypes could be developed in just six weeks? A streamlined digital process chain, early PFMEA, and simulation-driven AM workflows make it possible. This approach redefines how we design, produce, and validate components—faster, smarter, and with greater precision.

3D printing on a grand scale – additive manufacturing of large-volume metal components

The Macro-SLM process enables the production of individual metallic components with extremely high build rates in cubic meter dimensions. In contrast to deposition welding, it offers all the design freedom of powder bed-based 3D printing.

3D printing in miniature – high-precision additive manufacturing in the micro range

The Micro-SLM process enables the production of metallic or ceramic components with high structural resolution and very low surface roughness. For example, complex internal structures and movable features in the range of a few micrometers can be realized.
