6K Additive has disclosed that Seurat Technologies has endorsed its 316L stainless steel powder for integration into the company’s Area Printing™ platform. Both entities share a strong commitment to sustainable additive manufacturing practices. 6K Additive distinguishes itself by drastically reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions in its production processes compared to traditional atomization methods. This achievement is made possible through the utilization of sustainable feedstock sources, employing a highly efficient microwave plasma process, and achieving yields exceeding 90%.
Seurat Technologies, powered entirely by renewable energy sources, is revolutionizing and localizing manufacturing through its Area Printing technology, initially developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. This innovative 3D metal printing method enables precise, large-scale, and environmentally conscious manufacturing. Seurat anticipates that by 2030, their technology could directly offset up to 100 million tons of CO2 emissions.
The UniMelt platform by 6K offers unparalleled sustainability advantages, setting a new standard in material production platforms worldwide.
