In this paper will be summarized the last advances carried out by the Group in 2019 regarding laser processing, machining techniques and grinding technology. The results obtained achieved 4-5 MRL level, being ready to continue to be developed in the CFAA in the next months. The High-Performance Manufacturing Group of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of the Basque Country is researching close to the companies since early 90s’. At the moment, aeronautical turbomachinery and cast and die sec- tors among others are targets in their researches with the aim of improving the current process and therefore, gene- rate profits to their partners with the results obtained. In particular, the expertise field of the Group is based on addi- tive, machining, grinding and EDM technologies. In order to satisfy company’s needs, the Group has facilities in the Faculty of Engineering in Bilbao and a technological centre in Zamudio called ‘Advanced Aeronautical Manufacturing Centre’ (CFAA). The conception of this centre as a con- junction of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/ EHU) and the Business Cluster for the Development of Advanced Aeronautics Manufacturing Techniques, together with the Basque Country Government and Provincial Council of Bizkaia, in collaboration with the Technological and Scientific Park of Bizkaia, enables the Centre to focus on advanced manufacturing techniques. This approach aims to advance current levels of technological development asso- ciated in the sphere of universities (MRL, Manufacturing Readiness Levels 2 to 5) to levels of technological readiness in sufficiently representative environments (MRL levels 6 to 8), which are closer to the production needs of companies. Laser processing Directed Energy Deposition (DED) Directed Energy Deposition (DED), is an additive manufac- turing technique that enables to build up fully dense coatings and functional parts with almost no geometrical restriction and high quality metallurgy. In this process, the filler mate- rial in the form of powder or wire is molten by the laser beam and bonded to the substrate, forming clads and subsequent layers until the required geometry is obtained [1]. The suitability of DED process is proved for a high diversity of materials such as tool steels, stainless steels, nickel alloys, titanium alloys and copper alloys. This additive manufactu- ring process is adequate for remanufacturing, coating, and repair of existing parts [2], as well as to open new possibili- ties in the design of innovative geometries. Therefore, it has a wide spectrum of industrial applications, such as the manu- facturing and repair of aerospace engine components [3], dies and molds or the application of coatings, among others.
