Design and simulation.
LAAM possesses vast experience in deformation and production simulations for a wide variety of parts. This experience and expertise enable LAAM to work with its customers to optimize the design of manufactured parts (topology optimization, modifying design to reduce support volume and enhancing the strength of the fusion process).
Expertise in metallurgy.
Our laboratories are the heart of our manufacturing process.
1.
Powder Laboratory.
The Powder Laboratory is the “inspection gateway” for all metal powders, from their initial reception all the way through to their recycling. We analyze every aspect of these raw materials, including chemical composition, fluidity, bulk density, morphology, and particle size distribution.
2.
Metallurgy Laboratory.
In compliance with aeronautic standards, the company owns all the equipment needed to perform classic tests (micrographic analysis, macrographic analysis, porosity testing, traction control analysis, etc.). Additional tests are subcontracted to qualified businesses.
Machining and finishing.
LAAM’s post-processing infrastructure ensures the machining and finishing of parts – including sanding, polishing, and chemical machining operations – on our Marmande and Bologne sites.
Geometric and dimension controls.
LAAM possesses the equipment needed to perform geometric and dimension controls on manufactured parts (3D scanner, 3D measurement machine).
