Abstract

A fragmentation projectile in one aspect has a frontal cavity and defined fragments of medium to high density. The fragments are nearly form fitting together to form a compact projectile until its impact on the target. To achieve these specific mechanical properties, Additive Manufacturing (AM) methods are applied.
