Generative Verfahren sind seit etwa 1987 in den USA und seit etwa 1990 in Europa und Deutschland in Form von Rapid Prototyping Verfahren bekannt und haben sich in dieser Zeit von eher als exotisch anzusehenden Modellbauverfahren zu effizienten Werkzeugen für die Beschleunigung der Produktentstehung gewandelt. Mit der Weiterentwicklung der Verfahren und insbesondere der Materialien wird mehr und mehr das Feld der direkten Anwendung der Rapid Technologie zur Fertigung erschlossen. Rapid Technologien werden daher zum Schlüssel für neue Konstruktionssystematiken und Fertigungsstrategien.

Although Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process is an innovative manufacturing method, there are challenges such as inferior mechanical properties of fabricated objects. Regarding this, buckling deformation which is caused by thermal stress is one of the undesired mechanical properties which must be alleviated. As buckling deformation is more observable in hard to process materials, silver is selected to be studied theoretically and experimentally for this paper. Different scanning strategies are utilized and a Finite Element Method (FEM) is applied to calculate the temperature gradient in order to determine its effect on the buckling deformation of the objects from experiments.
Additive Manufacturing of metal parts by Selective Laser Melting has become a powerful tool for the direct manufacturing of complex parts mainly for the aerospace and medical industry. With the introduction of its desktop machine, Realizer targeted the dental market. The contribution describes the special features of the machine, discusses details of the process and shows manufacturing results focused on metal dental devices.
An increasing amount of popular articles focus on making models and sculptures by 3D Printing thus making more and more even private users aware of this technology. Unfortunately they mostly draw an incomplete picture of how our daily life will be influenced by this new technology. Often this is caused by a very technical point of view based on not very representative examples. This article focuses on the peoples needs as they have been structured by the so-called Maslow pyramid. Doing so, it underlines that 3D Printing (called Additive Manufacturing or Rapid Prototyping as well) already touches all aspects of life and is about to revolutionize most of them.
