Fraunhofer-GesellschaftIn "green²ICT", we aim to effectively link recycling and modern, resource-efficient manufacturing methods. The production of functional materials can only be sustainable if it is carried out using recyclates with low waste production and as little energy demand as possible. For this purpose, additive manufacturing (in our case selective laser melting (SLM)) and the production of powders of functional materials required in this process from raw material to printed functional material will be looked at. At the beginning of the project, thermoelectrics are our focus.
