Additive Manufacturing Lab

The Institute of Mechanical Engineering has a complete rapid prototyping and rapid tooling process chain. This includes

  • Rapid tooling system from EOS for the production of metallic prototypes, functional parts and tools (molds and electrodes)
  • Turbula T2F mixer for powder mixing
  • DIMENSION BST 768 for the production of thermoplastic prototypes
  • Software for rapid tooling-compatible preparation of CAD data (Magics RP)
  • Apparatus and equipment for infiltrating and coating sintered components with resins and low-melting-point metals
  • Sandblasting cabin for various blasting media (steel balls, ceramic powder, nut granulate, etc.)
  • Workstations for manual post-processing of rapid tooling products
  • TUCreate workshop with several 3D printers and a laser cutter for student applications
  • HandySCAN optical 3D scanner from CREAFORM
  • Various 3D design workstations
