Original Abstract

The paper is to provide an overview of the key challenges and knowledge gaps in additive manufacturing of metals applied to two parts of a novel heat switch technology – a Baseplate and a Flexible thermal structure. Additive design, optimization and manufacturing capabilities as well as quality of produced parts were investigated. The key challenge was to manufacture bio-inspired structure without internal supports and assure 190 surfaces to be in a contact at the same time for efficient heat transfer. Finally, modern trends in additive as multi-material design and manufacturing or effect of defects are discussed for further evolution of parts.
