Hybrid manufacturing for extreme environment applications: A customer perspective
Wednesday 18 November · 11am · Hall 12.0, Booth F139
The Lucideon team will join us to share their progress on the CHAMP system, focusing on the development of non-oxide materials such as silicon carbide for extreme environment applications.
All presentation times are local to Frankfurt (CET).
Explore our latest case studies
CHAMP combines paste extrusion with CNC green machining. These case studies explore how the process can be applied to different ceramic materials and component geometries.
Porous ceramics for casting cores
Our work with FastCast Ceramics explores how an open pore structure can be combined with machined surfaces to produce a casting core demonstrator.
Porous bioceramic bone scaffolds
Explore how ceramic formulation and printed architecture were adjusted together to reduce cracking and improve scaffold strength in a laboratory proof of concept.
Hybrid manufacturing of THz optical components
See how CHAMP was used to manufacture plano-convex and Fresnel ceramic lenses, with material measurements informing their design and further development.
