Aim: To replace CNC machining with Laser Beam Additive and Ablative Manufacturing (LBAAM) to enhance productivity, reduce costs, and enable space-based manufacturing.
Brief description: The LASARM project focuses on utilizing LBAAM technology to streamline manufacturing processes, reduce lead times, and minimize material waste. It explores the groundbreaking possibility of manufacturing components entirely in space stations using transported powders, as well as repairing parts with failed tolerances to avoid full rebuilds. This approach enables the creation of compact, lightweight, and high-performance designs.
Benefits: Adopting LBAAM technology reduces costs, scrap rates, and lead times while improving precision and performance. It also allows for innovative designs that meet energy efficiency demands and supports future space manufacturing capabilities, ensuring market competitiveness and sustainable production practices.
