Development of a manufacturing process and a manufacturing unit for production of a laser treated titanium panel with a 3D printed substructure

Topic description

Specific Challenge:

For the HLFC and wing demonstrators a microperforated titanium panel has to be bonded to a support sub-structure with HTP/wing geometry. Therefore it is required to develop a manufacturing cell for the laser treatment of titanium panels with an optics unit that is able to provide good bonding properties homogeneously over the whole surface, and to develop and build 3D printed support sub-structures with customized materials that fullfill aircraft requirements, to which the titanium panel is bonded to.
