Redesign of large metal components oriented to digital manufacturing


  • Start: 01/04/2019
  • End: 31/10/2021


The main objective of the REMEDI project is to establish an optimal, efficient and lightweight design methodology in the manufacture of medium / large size components, taking full advantage of the capabilities of DED (Direct Energy Deposition) technologies employing laser as a process and powder as a filler material.
In this way, REMEDI seeks to overcome some of the current barriers related to the aspects of design optimization and productivity in the digital manufacturing of medium-large components of high added value, manufactured using laser metal deposition technologies, issues that prevent greater acceptance in the industry of this technology. Thus, these processes involve a value chain consisting of the phases of design, process configuration, process planning, online manufacturing control/monitoring, postprocessing, and quality control. Of all of them, for a type of manufacturing technology based on the possibility of generating forms with a greater degree of freedom, it is the redesign phase that really offers the greatest added value and the most relevant benefits. Therefore, REMEDI will focus on using these different manufacturing stages to feed back the design itself, to get its most efficient optimization.
Based on this industrial need for this emerging technology, REMEDI's objective is precisely to establish the design methodology for Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) processes with the intention of reducing the significant consequences of the design on the final quality of the component.
