The COMBILASER project presents a great advance with respect to the current state of the art since it is the first time that all issues linked defects avoidance in welding or cladding process applied to parts will be approached from an integral or holistic point of view.
The added value will consist on the seamless set up and industrial integration of laser melting and processing manufacturing by the application of a »ICT expert« - The Self-Learning module, which will entail to minimize human expert intervention and reduce process optimization loop for any new application. The always changing market rules and increased production flexibility demands are behind these needs as industrial drivers. The main outcome is oriented to commercially incorporate self-learning systems (able to coordinate and synchronize process monitoring and NTD techniques) in laser beam welding or cladding equipment/systems.
