Abstract
AM processes provide freedom of design being a key to highly function-integrated components optimized for minimum weight with maximum mechanical performance. In comparison to metal casting's lead for light structural component production, AM processes are not yet established. For the industrial introduction of innovative AM components and manufacturing processes, the virtual proof of feasibility is strictly required. It is today the only way to check and compare countless designs and variants of manufacturing processes in the shortest possible time. But computational simulation of LAM is still in its infancy. In the research project Customat3D, developers and automotive users of structural components, material developers, LAM producers, and simulation technologists have come together for a joint approach to innovative LAM automotive structural components. In the proposed article, computational multi-scale modeling of LAM with its thermomechanical phenomena is discussed. The relevant results of the funded Customat3D R&D project are summarized.
