Abstract
The BatmAM project represents a significant advancement in the application of metal additive manufacturing for the development of highly integrated, lightweight, and multifunctional battery packs, targeting both space and high-performance terrestrial applications. By embedding structural, electrical, and thermal management features directly into the battery housing, BatmAM achieves substantial mass reduction, streamlined assembly, and enhanced reliability. The project demonstrates the feasibility of printing complex battery structures in AlSi10Mg, integrating bus bars, connectors, and sensors, and validates the concept through rigorous electrical, mechanical, and environmental testing. Feasibility is demonstrated with a comprehensive performance and environmental test campaign.
