The ETNA project aims to develop an additive manufacturing system by selective laser deposition which makes viable the industrial production of parts, using and developing a technologies and procedures in order to manufacture and/or reconstruction of high value-added parts through:
-Development of the additive manufacturing process which is the basis for ensuring the microstructural and mechanical properties of manufactured parts, as well as to define the limits of this technology from the point of view of the geometry of the final parts (accessibility laser head, minimum thickness wall, angles, etc).
-Development of 3D control system of the manufacturing process in real time, which is able to generate the necessary paths and correct deviations from the final geometry of the final parts by mean a 3D vision and system paths "on-line" generation software development.
-Development of a precision post-processing system, which generate the optimized machining program of manufactured piece, to get the required final dimensional specifications.
The role of the technological Center AIMEN has been focused on the optimization of process parameters that guarantee the quality of the manufactured prototype parts and in the development of the 3D control system in real time, most innovative aspect of the ETNA project.
