Die additive Fertigung schafft neue Gestaltungsfreiheiten. Im Rahmen des Prototypenbaus und der Kleinserienproduktion kann das Verfahren des selektiven Laserschmelzens genutzt werden. Die Verwendung in der Serienproduktion ist bisher aufgrund unzureichender Bauteilqualität, langen Anlaufzeiten sowie mangelnder Automatisierung nicht im wirtschaftlichen Rahmen möglich. Das Projekt „ReAddi“ möchte eine erste prototypische Serienfertigung entwickeln, mit der additiv gefertigte Bauteile für die Automobilindustrie wirtschaftlich produziert werden können. Additive manufacturing (AM) offers new freedom of design. The selective laser-powderbed fusion (L-PBF) process can be used for prototyping and small series production. So far, it has not been economical to use it on a production scale due to insufficient component quality, long start-up times and a lack of automation. The project ReAddi aims to develop a first prototype series production to cost-effectively manufacture 3D-printed components for the automotive industry.

In this work, a high-speed spectral plenoptic camera was used for three-dimensional (3D) simultaneous particle tracking and pyrometry measurements of hot spatter particles ejected during the metal additive manufacturing process. Additive manufacturing (AM) has an increasing role in the aerospace, energy, medical and automotive industry (DebRoy et al., 2018). While this new technology enables the production of highly advanced parts, research on the fundamental mechanisms governing the laser-matter interactions are an ongoing challenge because of the spatial and temporal resolution inherent to the AM process. One challenge is the characterization of spatter particles ejected from the melt pool, as these particles can be incorporated into the final part affecting the mechanical properties (Deng et al., 2020). One potential solution for simultaneously measuring velocity and temperature of the spatter particles is the spectral plenoptic camera.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is the direct production of finished goods using additive fabrication techniques. AM done in parallel batch production can provide a large advantage in speed and cost. Currently, the efforts to utilize AM concept and technology have several problems particularly in Malaysian automotive industry. Such existing problems have discouraged the enhancement of process and product development of automotive industry. In providing the solution, by implementing AM technology, there is potential to speed up the development of automotive parts and move towards mass customization. Several issues have been discovered by discussion with PROTON. This paper presents the critical decision factors in implementing AM in Malaysian automotive industry. Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to develop the framework of decision making in order to assess the factor affecting the AM implementation. The study shows that the main factors affects the implementations of AM are financial, technological, organization and design practice. The most important aspect to be considered is the investment cost. Finally, the information presented in this paper can also assist a potential user in choosing to implement or not to implement AM technology. Keywords:Additive Manufacturing, Analytic Hierarchy Process,Automotive Industry

Additive manufacturing (AM) emerged from rapid prototyping to relinquish sustainable industrial production. The role of AM in the industrial field is to diminish manufacturing pace, functioning cost, and assembling the AM lightweight particles together, which enhances the malleable fabrication of personalized user defined components without symbolic concussion. The automotive manufacturing industry plays a chief role in the aggressive trade field where time to market declines. The engraving design structures with weight reduction materials are the demands faced by the automotive industry that can be ominously resolved by additive manufacturing technology. This research work provides a better understanding of AM technology and its role in automotive sector to enhance modern vehicle designs and enduring features and augments the knowledge of both researchers and industrialists to overcome the efficacy in manufacturing process by fabricating relatively high strength geometries with reduced weight.
