Abstract
Repairing defective parts offers the potential to provide spare parts more cost-effectively, faster and with less use of resources. High process reliability and reproducibility in the repair of metallic parts can be achieved by using additive manufacturing. However, additive repair has only been used in a few cases for the maintenance of parts. For a broader use, users lack concrete guidance regarding the technical feasibility of additive repair and the design of the repair process. For this reason, the paper presents a decision support tool for the evaluation of a part’s repairability by additive processes. Therefore, a knowledge-based assistance system was developed containing manufacturing restrictions and application examples of additive repair. The system additionally configures a suitable repair process chain if additive repair can be used. The applicability of the system is evaluated using a specific part as an example.
