这本书描述并解释了过去三年中光学、热学和结构组件的协同项目生成制造的结果。总体目标是为集成光学和光机械系统开发基于生成性制造的系统概念。针对玻璃和特殊设计的金属粉末，开发了不同的再生制造工艺，在单一制造装置中实现了光学元件和系统的多材料制造。该项目的主要重点分为几个主题：模拟、设计、材料工程、工艺工程、后处理和部件评估。玻璃印刷过程的模拟将以迭代方式进行，并与实验结果进行比较，以便最终能够预测所定义组件的必要参数大小。在项目过程中，反复开发了一种与玻璃或激光活性晶体具有类似导热性和热膨胀特性的金属材料，以便能够在这些材料上直接打印。为了展示生成性制造的光机在功能集成系统中的潜力，固态激光系统所需的光机部件采用基于聚合物的3D打印工艺制造，并对其性能进行了表征。整个网络的所有这些单独项目都被合并到系统概念中。
Generative Manufacturing of Optical, Thermal and Structural Components
The book describes and explains the results of the collaborative project Generative Manufacturing of Optical, Thermal and Structural Components over the last three years. The overall goal is the development of a system concept based on generative manufacturing for integrated optical and optomechanical systems. Different developed generative manufacturing processes for glass and specially designed metal powders have been implemented in a single fabrication set up enabling multi-material manufacturing of optical components and systems. The main focus of the project is split into several topics: simulation, design, material engineering, process engineering, post-processing and component evaluation. The simulation of the glass printing process will be structured iteratively with a comparison of the experimental results in order to be able to finally make a prediction of the necessary parameter sizes for defined components. A metal material with similar thermal conductivity and thermal expansion properties to glass or laser-active crystals has been developed iteratively over the course of the project to enable direct printing onto these materials. In order to demonstrate the potential of generatively manufactured optomechanics for function-integrated systems, the optomechanical components required for a solid-state laser system are manufactured in a polymer-based 3D printing process and their properties are characterized. All these individual projects of the overall network are combined in the system concept.
