Three Selective Laser Melting (SLM) machines are used in the 3D metal printing center at Audi. There's room for more. The image shows a 3D-printed, topology-optimized aggregate support with cellular internal structure.

The Kiel University research group and its partner, the Kiel start-up Phi-Stone, presented their mobile prototype “Metalangelo” at Hannover Messe 2018.

The variable costs per cubic centimeter for additive production and conventional production are compared using three components selected as examples. The costs for tool construction, set-up times and other costs incurred per batch are excluded in this example. Depending on the process and component design, the variable costs for additive production can be five to fifty times higher than for conventional production, for example in the processing of polymers and metals.

High energy costs can be reduced by a photovoltaic system.
