Next Level Additive Manufacturing: Toolcraft and Siemens bring porous structures into industrial practice

13.09.2024

Siemens has been working for several years on the development of functionally optimized porous material structures using additive manufacturing. Similar to a sugar cube, these structures can transport liquids using capillary forces.

Siemens has succeeded in integrating functions such as heat transport and cooling directly into components. As part of the 3D-PROCESS project, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economics, the first demonstrators for chemical reaction technology have been realized, which shows the great potential of these structures. Possible applications would be in the process industry, energy process engineering, aerospace, mechanical engineering and medical technology. Siemens is working with Toolcraft to enable the industrial production of these structures. Toolcraft wants to ensure transferability to all plant systems and further develop the structures. The company is a qualified component supplier for the pharmaceutical industry and has been certified as a manufacturer of additive materials in accordance with the European Pressure Equipment Directive for over a year.
