Methodology
Metal fusion is an additive manufacturing technology that works layer by layer by fusing very thin layers of metal powder with a laser. Metal powder balls melt locally at the point of impact of a laser beam. As they resolidify, they form a horizontal layer and are fused to the layer below.
Our strengths
- Create parts with internal and external complexity.
- Produce functional parts.
- Apply a logo/branding to the part for traceability.
- Geometric control.
Applications
- Single or mass production.
- Complex monobloc parts.
- Impossible-to-machine geometries.
- Conformal Cooling: Thermal regulation.
