Design for Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing makes it possible to pro-duce extremely complex structures – so it elimi-nates the design restrictions imposed by conven-tional manufacturing processes. In this topic, dis-cover lightweight construction – and explore exam-ples of functional integration and innovative prod-uct design.

Support structures as a critical factor

One of the most decisive factors in the metallic LPBF process is probably the support structures of the components. Within Unlimital AG, we are focusing on developing further in this area in particular.

With additive components on the mountain

A hill climb race is the embodiment of precision, maximum performance, efficiency and utmost concentration. These values manifest themselves not only in the drivers, but above all in their racing vehicles. A single component can make a significant difference.

STORZ MEDICAL Masterpuls | 3D printed space-saver for medical technology: single part for shorter assembly time

The handpiece of the shock wave therapy device MASTERPULS is laser sintered and chemically smoothed. 1zu1 thus succeeded in further developing from a multi-part to a single-part 3D printing solution. It halves the assembly time and increases the air density by a factor of ten.

Design of an additively manufactured hydraulic directional spool valve

In close collaboration with Wandfluh AG and inspire AG, we developed two sizes of an additively manufactured hydraulic spool valve which exploit the design freedom of the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process. Compared to the conventionally manufactured valve, the pressure drop was reduced by 60%.

Man and Machine in Perfect Harmony: HANK Exoskeleton and AM Improve Patient Outcomes During Gait Rehabilitation

Rehab is often a grueling process with a few bumps along the way. HANK, a lower-limb exoskeleton by GOGOA that uses 3D-printed parts, is a complementary solution that provides a constant gait pattern for patients — dramatically speeding up rehabilitation times and improving patient outcomes.
