Katrin Wudy and her team are currently working on innovative process strategies and monitoring concepts in the additive manufacturing technology of laser-based powder bed fusion of metals. 

“We have three different beam-shaping technologies in-house and evaluate what beam shape is the most promising for the specific target value. We are aiming for an increase in productivity, the manufacturing of hard-to-weld materials, or even the voxel-based tailoring of the microstructure in one part,” says Wudy.
