One of the most important trade fairs in the field of additive manufacturing, FORMNEXT, will take place in Frankfurt from November 16 to 19, 2021. After it could only be carried out in a virtual format in the previous year due to the pandemic, it will now be performed as a face-to-face event. LUNOVU will be there, presenting brand new products and technologies in hall 12.0 / booth E92. The LUNOVU team is looking forward to interesting discussions about LMD / DED applications!

LUNOVU has reached another important milestone on its growth path. The implementation of a quality management system in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001 and an occupational health and safety management system in accordance with DIN EN ISO 45001 have been completed with the corresponding certifications. This also formally confirms the high quality and occupational safety standards that LUNOVU had imposed upon itself since its foundation.

On Friday, June 11, 2021 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., the LIPA virtual laser trade fair will take place for the first time. In compact specialist lectures interesting information about laser technology and its possible applications will be provided. A virtual exhibition center can also be visited. The event is primarily aimed at companies looking for laser technology solutions for their individual applications.

The LASER.region.AACHEN is a project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The alliance provides a network of leading universities and research institutions with companies in the field of laser technology and suppliers.

LUNOVU is currently expanding its LMD/DED application center. Construction work has already begun, driven by fast growing business and new application areas. The aim is to focus even better on different applications such as additive manufacturing, laser cladding or wear protection. Additional LMD/DED machine systems (CNC and robot types) will be installed over the next few months to advance machine and process development, develop customer-specific processes, and perform application demonstrations and training for customers. In addition, facilities for metallographic analysis will be set up for rapid quality control of the materials manufactured with LMD/DED.

Together with the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology in Aachen and other industrial partners, LUNOVU has developed a novel process chain for the efficient coating of large parts such as rollers. The development was carried out within the joint R&D project EVEREST. Using the EHLA (Extremes Hochgeschwindigkeits Laser-Auftragschweissen / Extreme High Speed Laser Cladding) process, parts could be coated in a very resource efficient way, using a speed of up to 200 meters per minute. The processes have been developed at the LUNOVU application center.
