1. Design and development of additive components
- Identification of hot spots
- Optimisation of cooling system
- Designing of close-contour cooling system
- Production-ready designing of close-contour cooling system
- Selection of optimal 3D materials
- Topology optimisation
- Verification by means of casting and solidification simulation
2. Production of additive components
- Additively manufactured inserts with close-contour cooling system made of 1.2709 or similar 1.2343. Selection of a suitable additive manufacturing process
- Topology-optimised grippers made of fibre-reinforced plastics
- Additive sand core manufacturing (small production series, prototypes)
- Additively manufactured prototype inserts made of plastic
- 3D illustrative model
