Shielding gas nozzle and light scanner
The Fraunhofer IWS has developed Coaxshield, a local molten pool shield for laser powder deposition welding, and the LIsec analysis device, which can be used to monitor the powder flow in additive manufacturing processes, and will be exhibiting them at Formnext.

At the same time, their shapes are becoming increasingly complex. Production cycles are also becoming shorter and shorter, while the number of injection-molded parts per tool is increasing. For mold makers, this results in new requirements for design, development and production.

The development of cutting tools is also affected. Because alternative drives, new lighter materials, energy-saving and resource-conserving concepts are more in demand than ever, but it must also be possible to machine them.
