How this can be handled in industrial practice has been proven by LZN, jointly with Airbus and Concept Laser in an already developed FCRC bracket for the A350. Using optimization and designs inspired by nature are mandatory for the manufacturing of innovative and structurally efficient lightweight products. With the right design, material use and the resulting weight of a product can be reduced by up to 80 percent. Especially regarding light weight design 3D printing offers so far unknown weight saving potentials.

The advantages of this technology span from a faster and often less expensive product development process to the possibility to manufacture even very complex structures, which would not be possible or at least be very cumbersome to produce with traditional manufacturing methods. HAMBURG and BOBLINGEN, Germany, Dec 7, 2015 – Altair and LZN (Laser Zentrum Nord), one of the most modern laser technology centers worldwide, have announced a training cooperation in which the companies will now jointly deliver expert training in an end2end design process for industrial 3D printing, thus maximizing the true potential of the technology.ģD printing, often referred to as additive manufacturing, offers many new possibilities.
