On October 1st and 2nd the 5th International Conference „Production
Engineering and Management“ took place in Trieste, Italy. Gereon Deppe
presented insights of the RepAIR project with a focus on the topology
optimization of an aerospace part and the achievable life time benefits
through the application of Additive Manufacturing. The talk led to a
discussion of the future development of the manufacturing technology in
aerospace and how benefits can be quantified. New contacts to the
“Universitá Degli Studi Di Bergamo” have been made to foster an exchange of
research contents.
