Precisely shaped 3D-printed metal parts (IMAGE)
Caption
Professor Dirk Bähre (l., here with Stefan Wilhelm from his research group) and his research team at Saarland University have developed a non-contact method of transforming metal parts fabricated by a 3D printer into high-precision technical components for specialist applications. The novel method enables them to process parts made from strong, lightweight metals to produce precision-finished components with complex geometries and dimensional tolerances of a few thousandths of a millimetre. The team of manufacturing technologists combine metal 3D printing and electrochemical machining (ECM).
