Laboratory for Additive Manufacturing
The research includes the development of new materials in collaboration with the Advanced Materials Center to design high-performance parts through a specific manufacturing process with possibly pre- and post-processing. Some of the basic and high-class equipment in the IMR center are as follows:\
Metal Additive Manufacturing
SLM SOLUTIONS - SLM 280
Metal 3D printing with multiple lasers and closed-loop powder handling. The SLM®280 2.0 is ideal for medium to high-volume metal additive manufacturing part production and prototypes.
- 280 x 280 x 365 mm build envelope
- Multi-laser (twin)
- Multi-material
