Additive studies are deep-dive technical investigations and benchmarks on Additive Manufacturing topics that are critical to the industry.

What are Additive Studies?
Why does Fraunhofer IAPT offer Additive Studies as crowdfunding?
The studies are typically time-consuming and expensive to produce individually. By pooling resources through a joint-industry approach, we make high-quality, relevant data accessible at a fraction of the cost.
Can companies only join in new studies or also purchase finished ones?
Completed studies are listed below and are available for immediate purchase. Please contact Maximilian Kluge if you are interested.
A new study to make fatigue performance more predictable
Under the title »Additive Fatigue 2.0«, , Fraunhofer IAPT is conducting a new study on how to make fatigue performance more predictable. The study focuses on phenomenon-driven fatigue design for metal AM using titanium.
Post-processing is a major source of uncertainty in fatigue performance and cost in additive manufacturing. The new study on additive fatigue links critical influences and key phenomena to the fatigue properties of LB-PBF metal components to improve predictability and define reliable process chains.
