Pilot line specifications

Specifications of the pilot line will be established based on the use case requirements description provided in T1.1. Selection of the specific additive manufacturing technology will be performed based on an available database containing general properties of the materials, process and process parameters as well as on-line monitoring systems specifications and requirements. Based on the technology selection performed and initial design of AM components, necessary input for the multi-physics simulation for the work in WP3 will be determined. Material selection as well as required tailoring of the powder properties and composition, depending on the user case requirements and AM technology selected, will be performed in collaboration with the material supplier. Determination of the process parameters to assure required properties of the component will be performed together with the hardware supplier. Taking into account that the pilot line will utilize next generation on-line monitoring systems requiring development of the process monitoring parameters, specifications of the such a monitoring system will be performed to assure robustness of the pilot line as well as required component properties and performance. Furthermore, necessary test bars and components will be defined.
