Plenary Lecture by Laurent Pambaguian (European Space Agency - ESA)
Wednesday, September 28th, 2016, 6:15 p.m. - 6:45 p.m., Audimax, TU Darmstadt
ESA, the European Space Agency has been looking into Additive Manufacturing for more than a decade; it was then still called “rapid manufacturing” referring to the prototyping world. Since then, the Agency has taken a leading role in establishing the required developments to ensure that parts made using these technologies fulfil the specific constrains of a space missions.
This has been done by, on the one hand, establishing the technological capabilities of these technologies from a Materials and Processes perspective and, on the other hand, maturing the use of these technologies toward development of high end Space Hardware. It is under ESA funding that the basis for 3D printing lunar regolith was demonstrated. The first additively manufactured platinum based thruster fired was also developed under ESA funding.
Today, the portfolio of ESA activities in Additive Manufacturing expands toward many aspects such as the possibility to print on orbit or on planets, to develop multifunctional parts, to totally redesign parts whilst evaluating the impact that such redesign have on the space mission. ESA, together with the National Space Agencies, strives to help the European Space Industry to maximise the benefits brought by these technologies. Taking leverage from Additive Manufacturing ESA has placed a strong focus of the benefit brought by many advanced manufacturing technologies for space and started a cross-cutting initiative on Advanced Manufacturing where environmental, regulatory and performances aspects will be closely looked at.
