Driving innovation in additive manufacturing: Enhancing efficiency and certification

Driving innovation in additive manufacturing: Enhancing efficiency and certification Ana Queirós Barbosa(1) and Christina Moeslund Zeuthen(2), explore driving innovation in additive manufacturing, explaining precisely how DILAPRO enhances efficiency and certification. The rapid advancement of industrial automation and breakthroughs in fibre laser technology are not only transforming sectors like manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and electronics but are also accelerating the adoption of additive manufacturing (AM) as a key production method. AM is revolutionising industrial production, enabling the creation of high-performance components with intricate geometries. However, the widespread adoption of laser-based AM is hindered by challenges in quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and certification processes – critical concerns in industries where precision and reliability are non-negotiable.
