AG alp Angewandte Lasertechnik und Photonik - TH Aschaffenburg

The AG alp offers technology transfer on an industrial level. Due to the wide range of laboratory equipment, AG alp is able to map the entire process chain of additive manufacturing. From the AM-adapted design of components, through their production, to post-processing and materials analysis, every production step can be represented and evaluated on a 1-to-1 basis. The AG alp thus offers interested companies the possibility of implementing additive manufacturing in their process flow on a project basis and thus massively increasing their innovative capacity. The diversity of AG alp's laboratory equipment makes it possible to directly compare the advantages and disadvantages of different AM processes, including the necessary post-processing steps. In addition, solutions tailored to requirements can be developed in direct dialog and their feasibility can be verified in concrete terms.

We offer technology transfer on an industrial level. Get to know the potentials of additive manufacturing specifically for your problem.

Because of the broad portfolio of AG alp, the entire process chain can be mapped with regard to additive manufacturing, from component manufacturing and materials testing to post-processing and quality assurance.
