Additively manufactured duplex: better than wrought?
Additive manufacturing (AM) processes are rapidly maturing and offer the capability to build a new generation of components with complex designs, enhanced functionality, and rapid repair of existing components.
Featured Story – Metal powders derived from sustainable sources
A developer of microwave plasma technology for the production of advanced materials used in additive manufacturing (AM), lithiumion batteries and other industrial markets, has launched the world’s first AM powders derived from sustainable sources.
Airbus 3D printing utilises cutting edge saw technology
To save time and costs during the production of aircraft components, Airbus Helicopters, headquartered in Donauwörth in Bavaria, recently turned to additive manufacturing. After manufacturing titanium components in the 3D printer, the next step is to separate them from their baseplate. The company uses a fully automatic bandsaw specially designed for use in the world of generative manufacturing.
A new pressure equipment certified by BASF
