Die additive Fertigung (AF) ist eines von vielen Verfahren zur Herstellung dreidimensionaler Festkörper auf Grundlage einer digitalen Datei.
Im Unterschied zu subtraktiven Fertigungsverfahren, bei denen das Ausgangsmaterial ein fester Materialblock ist, von dem so lange Material abgetragen wird, bis das Endprodukt fertiggestellt ist, wird bei der additiven Fertigung das Teil (bzw. einzelne Elemente auf Teile) Schicht für Schicht aufgebaut, basierend auf einer Geometrie, die in einem 3D-Design-Modell beschrieben ist.

Erfahren Sie, wie additive Fertigung mit Metallen das Design und die Produktion von leichten Metallteilen in Echtzeit ermöglicht und welches Potenzial Vakuum-Wärmebehandlungen für im 3D-Druck entstandene Teile bieten.

Unexpected breakdown could bring operations to a halt. While there is no arguing with the fact that fixing something as soon as it breaks is important, what many people may not realize is that there are high costs associated with working in reactive mode. On the other hand, a proactive approach keeps your vacuum furnaces serviced and in working order through preventive and predictive maintenance. In particular, predictive maintenance (PdM) can help you make your furnaces more reliable and predictable through continuous monitoring and data analytics for mechanical and electrical conditions, operational efficiency and other performance indicators.
