Description and objectives:

The laser deposition process, also known as Laser Cladding, Direct Laser Deposition or Laser Metal Deposition (LMD), is an additive manufacturing process that consists of selective injection of material on a substrate, and is used exclusively on metallic and ceramic materials, so it is oriented to the final part.

The MADD-TWIN project is framed within the Machine Tool and Advanced Manufacturing sector, and will focus on developing an integral hybrid machine solution (LMD + Machining), both from the point of view of the machine and the process and services associated with this type of machines.

MADD-TWIN consortium members will address the following objectives in the project:

  • The creation of a new product such as the developing of a hybrid manufacturing solution, combining the LMD process with machining.
  • Develop a scalable database containing the knowledge about the LMD process in a structured way.
  • Develop in-situ 3D inspection systems capable of measuring the geometry of the input material and this feedback the construction of the process layer by layer with real data.
  • Develop a monitoring and control system for the LMD.
  • Develop and implemented Process + Machine Tool package for hybrid machines.
