Research institute Center for Virtual Product Development (ZVP)

The SLM system can be used to produce innovative components in the field (of) lightweight construction, traffic engineering, printing and injection molding technology, mechanical and attachment engineering and medical technology. The special feature is the free design of surfaces and volumes. None product-specific tools are required. Lightweight construction approaches from bionics can be realized easily, quickly and cost-effectively. The components are functional and fully functional in terms of their physical properties (e.g. strength, rigidity, thermal behavior). Areas of application include prototype construction, reverse engineering, small series, small series with individual features, the provision of spare parts and maintenance.
