Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing processes are characterized by the fact that components are built up during the manufacturing process by gradually adding tiny amounts of material. This method offers various advantages compared to conventional processes such as primary forming or machining. These include high flexibility, fast production speeds and the ability to realize complex geometries without additional effort. These properties make additive manufacturing processes particularly interesting for applications in the field of space travel, for example for missions to Mars or the moon as well as for space flights in zero gravity.
