Constellium SE is entering into an agreement with Morf3D, Inc., a subsidiary of Nikon Corporation, to jointly develop additive manufacturing (AM) technologies for the aerospace industry. Under the agreement, Constellium will supply Morf3D with Aheadd® CP1, one of its proprietary AM powder alloys. “We are very excited to partner with Morf3D, a leading company in […]
Additive manufacturing is becoming increasingly important, with cheaper and more efficient processes making the production of metal powders and additively manufactured components more attractive. As a result, printed components are increasingly being used not only for prototyping, but also as serial products. Trimet Aluminium SE in Germany has been conducting intensive research and development on material […]
Poly-Shape, an AddUp company, signed a contract with Constellium to research and develop innovative components made from aluminum powder. The components will be additively manufactured from the Aheadd® powders recently developed by Constellium. “This is the result of the flexibility of our structures, our reactivity and the high quality of our teams, in particular the research […]
Aeromet announced that its patented aluminum alloys powder A20X™ has achieved an ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of over 500 MPa — making it one of the strongest commercially available aluminum powders. A20X Powder was originally derived from the MMPDS-approved A20X casting alloy, which is in use by a global network of aerospace casting suppliers. The powder is […]
The Aluminum Association will release its first new material registration record in nearly 20 years. The new “purple sheets” will provide clear chemical designations for aluminum powder used in 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing. The purple sheets are the newest addition to the Association’s long-running “rainbow sheet” series, which provides alloy designations and […]
AP&C, a GE Additive company, will begin production of F357 aluminum alloy powder for the additive manufacturing industry. The powder will be produced using AP&C’s proprietary Advanced Plasma Atomization (APA™) technology at its recently expanded facility in Saint-Eustache, Canada. This new, automated plant offers a full aluminum powder production capacity of 1,000 tons. The new F357 […]
Sintavia, LLC, a leader in the metal additive manufacturing industry, developed full end-to-end parameters for producing 3D printed parts in F357 aluminum, as well as other Al-Si alloys, for use in precision manufacturing. The proprietary process for printing F357 aluminum powder was developed specifically to address aerospace and automotive industry needs for components with low […]
UC Rusal and Sauer GmbH, a member of DMG MORI, a worldwide leading manufacturer of metal-cutting machine tools, signed an MOU to develop the 3D printing technology for industrial use of aluminum and aluminum alloys. According to the agreement, the 3D printing technology will be used to print aluminum parts applied by customers in the machinery-producing, aerospace, and […]
Alcoa opened its state-of-the-art 3D printing metal powder production facility, located at the Alcoa Technology Center, the world’s largest light metals research center. The company plans to produce proprietary titanium, nickel, and aluminum powders optimized for 3D printed aerospace parts. Alcoa has also invested in a range of technologies to further develop additive processes, product design, […]
