The aim of the AM3 challenge is to address the fundamental materials science problems that underlie the transition from traditional manufacturing techniques to additive manufacturing (AM), with a specific focus on metallic alloys, and the relation between process, microstructure and properties. The project covers multiple aspects of the materials science of metals parts produced in strongly out-of-equilibrium conditions. The project combines the expertise of four academic partners at EPFL, EMPA and PSI.
