The Challenge of Open Cellular Metal Foam Production

Custom Design to the Application of Open-Cellular Metal Structures

“…By designing structures via Computer-Aided-Design (CAD), these can be used directly for additive manufacturing, either directly in metal or in wax as a template for casting. In this way the structure can be adapted very well to the needs, possible applications are shown in [1]. Using polymeric templates reduces the adaptability of the structure immensely.…”
