Additive Manufacturing

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