Abstract. A promising approach to meet ecological and economical challenges in production industry is the combination of additive manufacturing and forming, which enables the production of hybrid parts. The fusion of the two technologies has the potential to use the benefits of both process classes. One example for the combination of additive manufacturing and forming is a process chain consisting of laser-based directed energy deposition (DED-LB/M) to apply a wear resistant coating on a sheet metal and a subsequent deep drawing process to achieve the final geometry of the component. However, the presence of the local reinforcement influences the subsequent sheet metal forming process. In order to gain more knowledge about the process chain a numerical approach is performed. In this work, the influence of a coating using Bainidur® AM applied by DED-LB/M on the formability of the case hardening steel 16MnCr5 in a deep drawing process is evaluated. For this purpose, a numerical model is built and validated by comparison with experimental results. The finite-element-model serves as the basis for the investigation on the influence of the location of the additively applied coating on the deep drawing process and also enables a deeper understanding of the process.
