Abstract
The load-specific design of functional
components is a promising way of responding to the increasing demands in
terms of sustainability and resource efficiency. Tailored blanks have
therefore become increasingly important in the field of sheet metal
forming in recent years. The semi-finished product properties are
customised to meet the final requirements. From an industrial
perspective, it is of great interest to additionally increase the
geometric flexibility and customisability of these tailored blanks by
specifically combining forming technology methods with additive
manufacturing. The technological advantages of the two processes
complement each other perfectly and enable the efficient production of
components with locally customised geometric and mechanical properties
that clearly stand out from the state of the art. However, the
interaction of the two processes under industry-related boundary
conditions is still largely unknown.
The aim of TP 3 is therefore to
develop a holistic understanding of the material-efficient production
and forming of customised, hybrid semi-finished sheet metal products.
The integration of the hybrid manufacturing approach into generative
design enables a continuous, economical product development process,
which also allows the reduced CO2 footprint of the technology to be
quantified by recording the process data in advance.
