The Technical University of Munich, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nurnberg and Colibrium Additive have launched the federally funded AlaAF project, seeking to advance 3D printing of high-strength aluminum alloys for aerospace. The project calls for using special additives within metal powders for the laser powder bed fusion process. The approach could enable the use of previously unsuitable high-strength aluminum alloys in additive manufacturing, leading to lighter and stronger aerospace components.
