A study on the possibilities of additive manufacturing (LPBF) as production process for heat transfer applications. KU Leuven
Producing micro and mini scale heat exchangers with three-dimensional features using highly conductive materials is very challenging and in many cases not possible or not economical with conventional and state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques. Given their capability of producing freeform and highly complex geometries, additive manufacturing (AM) techniques have the potential to optimize (s)HEX by enhancing heat transfer rates and/or ...
