Descripción del proyecto
Una nueva ruta universal de posprocesado con láser
Los métodos de fabricación por adición (FA) totalmente digitalizados con láser son tan versátiles que pueden aplicarse en distintos sectores. En comparación con la fabricación convencional, la FA es más eficiente desde el punto de vista energético y genera menos residuos. Sin embargo, la piezas producidas requieren tratamientos superficiales adicionales, que pueden consumir mucha energía y materiales, lo que aumenta los costes y perjudica al medio ambiente. En este contexto, el equipo del proyecto CLASCO, financiado con fondos europeos, desarrollará una ruta de posprocesado con láser universal y digitalizada para crear piezas de FA funcionalizadas con formas complejas. Mientras que las piezas complejas se fabricarán mediante fusión de lecho de polvo por láser, el pulido por láser y la microestructuración de superficies por láser mediante patrón de interferencia directa por láser se combinarán en un sistema de fabricación excepcional.
Objetivo
In the coming years, the European industry must assume the challenge of adopting clean and climate-neutral industrial value chains, producing sustainable products. Adopting digital systems will radically change the industry with products and services through innovative production processes. In particular, fully digitalised laser-based additive manufacturing methods are very versatile and thus can be implemented in different industries. Furthermore, energy saves against conventional manufacturing and material waste but also by design optimization can be achieved. However, these parts also required of additional surface treatments, which are nowadays energy and material-consuming, increasing costs and harming the environment. In addition, new concepts for increasing the added value of AM parts must be developed, for instance, by producing advanced surface functionalities in critical applications. The main objective of the CLASCO project is to develop a universal and digitalised laser-based post-process route for creating functionalised AM parts with complex shapes.
While the complex parts will be produced by Laser Powder Bed Fusion, Laser polishing and laser surface micro-structuring using Direct Laser Interference Patterning will be combined in a unique manufacturing system. This route will substitute several resource-consuming processes, reducing the environment's negative impact. The implementation will allow substituting standard environmental non-friendly methods and even obtaining a better performance. In addition, different in-line monitoring methods, specifically plasma sensors and infrared cameras will be implemented. In this way, a virtual representation of the process for each part will be possible (digital twin), creating an entirely digitised product. The project's impacts will be analysed to optimise the sustainability of processes and products across the entire life cycle.
