The project „OSLAPRO – Optimization of the SLA process using non-destructive testing methods for the targeted manufacture of components and injection molds” (BAB: Funding of Research, Development and Innovation (EFRE-FEI), application number: 65008333) started on 1 July 2025. The project involves collaborative research and development with Kolbes Messtechnik OHG. The project develops a data-driven, methodologically robust approach to improving SLA (stereolithography) mold inserts for Freeform Injection Molding. It links process parameters, material behaviour, and defect mechanisms. The aim is to speed up industrial readiness and achieve reliable, long lasting tool performance.
