Industries for LSAM

Large Scale Addive Manufacturing (LSAM) will establish itself as a revolu-onary technology in a variety of industries that require large-scale, customised parts. In the following, we would like to highlight just a few examples.

Aerospace

In the aerospace industry, large, lightweight and high-strength parts are often required. LSAM enables the production of such parts from highperformance plastics and composites. For example, aircraft parts such as wings, fuselage structures or interior fittings can be produced in one piece with LSAM, which significantly reduces assembly time and weight.

Shipbuilding

In shipbuilding, LSAM can be used to produce large parts such as hull structures, decks or interior fittings. By using lightweight and corrosion-resistant materials, LSAM can help reduce the weight of the ship and extend its life.

Wind energy

In the wind energy industry, LSAM can be used to produce large parts such as rotor blades or tower structures. By using high-performance plastics and composites, LSAM can help improve the performance and lifetime of wind turbines.

Construction industry

In the construction industry, LSAM could be used for the production of customised components, such as façade elements or supporting structures. By using recycled or biobased materials, LSAM could help improve sustainability in the construction industry.

Oil and gas industry

In the oil and gas industry, LSAM could be used to produce large parts such as pipelines, valves or pump housings. By using corrosion-resistant materials, LSAM could help extend the life of these parts and reduce maintenance costs.

Medical engineering

In medical technology, LSAM could be used for the production of customised medical devices or prostheses. By using biocompatible materials, LSAM could help improve patient safety and comfort.

Plastics industry

In the plastics industry, LSAM could be used for the production of large-format moulds and tools. By using thermoplastic materials, LSAM could help reduce production costs and increase production flexibility.

Furniture industry

In the furniture industry, LSAM could be used to produce customised furniture or decorative elements. This could allow designers greater creative freedom and facilitate the production of personalised furniture.

Carbon lamina?on

LSAM is also used to produce moulds for carbon lamina-on. This process takes advantage of LSAM’s ability to produce large, precise and high-quality moulds quickly and cost-effec-vely. The moulds produced can then be used for carbon fibre lamina-on to produce lightweight and high-strength components.

An example of this is the produc-on of moulds for carbon lamina-on in the aerospace industry. LSAM can be used to produce moulds for the manufacture of aircraft parts such as wings, fuselage structures or interior components. These parts benefit from the excellent mechanical proper-es of carbon fibres, such as high strength and low weight, and LSAM technology enables fast and efficient produc-on of these parts.

Another example is the produc-on of moulds for carbon lamina-on in the automo-ve industry. LSAM can be used to make moulds for the produc-on of automo-ve parts such as body panels, chassis components or interior parts. These parts also benefit from the excellent mechanical proper-es of carbon fibres and LSAM technology enables fast and efficient produc-on of these parts.

These examples illustrate the wide range of applica-ons for LSAM and its ability to revolu-onise produc-on processes in various industries. By combining addi-ve and subtrac-ve manufacturing, the use of a wide range of materials and the ability to produce large-format parts, LSAM offers companies the opportunity to op-mise their produc-on processes, improve their product quality and develop new, innova-ve products.
