EU Project InShaPe Boosts Metal Additive Manufacturing with Breakthrough in Efficiency, Affordability and Sustainability

24.07.2025
Munich, Germany – Sixfold increase in productivity, production costs halved, energy consumption and material wastage significantly reduced, component quality improved – the EU-funded research project InShaPe has published impressive numbers. Over the past three years, the consortium has developed a new process optimisation approach that combines AI-based beam shaping with multispectral imaging (MSI) in the laser-based powder bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M)…

EU project InShaPe – next innovation leap in metal-based additive manufacturing

13.07.2022
In many industrial sectors, such as in the automotive industry, in aerospace or in the energy sector, the demand for special metal components that are light and have a high strength is increasing. Modern gas turbines, for example, require extremely stable and at the same time lightweight heat shields. An important manufacturing process for this is the powder-bed fusion process of metals using laser beam (PBF-LB/M). Depending on the application, the process…
