New chances and challenges for material engineering
"New materials give wings to additive fabrication" was the title in an article from the 17 July 2015 in the magazine of the Society of German Engineers (VDI). On the occasion of the new BMBF funding programme "Additive Fabraication – individualised products, complex mass products, innovative materials (Pro_Mat_3D)", Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christoph Leyens director of the Institute for Materials Science in his keynote talk presented the possibilities and challenges of additive fabrication for material engineering. Leyens was quoted as saying "Only the full evaluation of material science and engineering combined with process and machine can lead to the success of additive fabrication". The Dresden based material specialist, who leads many projects at the TU Dresden and the Fraunhofer IWS in the field of additive fabrication, is the initiator and coordinator of the BMBF project "AGENT 3D: additive-generative-fabrication – the 3D revolution for product manufacture in the digital age" which will be financed with up to 45 Mio € until 2020. In this project 80 partners from industry and science will work on solutions for the introduction of additive fabrication into industrial production. to article
