Practical results through research funding

The Fotec results were characterized by a high application orientation. During the project, for example, test specimens and use cases made from materials such as Ti64, 316L, and AlSi10Mg were manufactured and analyzed. The close cooperation with the 15 industrial partners—including companies from the aerospace, toolmaking, and medical technology sectors—ensured that the developed processes are immediately transferable to real manufacturing scenarios, as noted.

The project funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), and the Flanders Agency for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (VLAIO)—coordinated by the ecoplus Mechatronics Cluster, FKM, and KU Leuven—aimed to make additive-subtractive manufacturing chains economically viable, even for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). FOTEC acted as a leading player in the field of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB/M) and electrochemical and mechanical post-processing.
