Hybrid semi-finished product

Harnessing the full potential of application-specific material combinations using additive manufacturing processes

Technology Description

Combining traditional manufacturing processes with additive technologies to create hybrid components makes it possible to integrate different material properties. This method is ideal for components that require different materials, exhibit locally varying properties, or necessitate complex geometries that can only be produced with significant material waste or at additional cost.

Customer Benefit

  • Under certain circumstances, additional manufacturing steps can be eliminated, such as case hardening for gears.
  • Specific designs and geometries are possible that cannot be achieved conventionally or are not economically feasible to produce.
  • High flexibility and cost-effectiveness, even for small batch sizes.

Core Competencies

  • Materials experts in the steel industry.
  • Experts in steel finishing processes.
