What are Metal Powder-Bed Product Development Services?
There are several variations of metal powder bed products. These include:
- Electron Beam Melting
- Selective Laser Sintering
- Direct Metal Laser Sintering
Our product development team is able to help weigh the suitability of each variation by weighing the different disadvantages and advantages of the types. This is largely dependent on the type of material that is being used as well as the heat source which is used.
Why is Metal Powder-Bed Product Development Important?
It is important to leverage new technologies to have more efficient and precise production processes. When it comes to metal powder bed production, there are many unique benefits like being able to join multiple materials across different grades like alloys, ceramics, metals, and plastics. By using powdered materials, there is reduced material wastage as the un-melted powder can be easily recycled. On top of this, there is also less need for machining fixtures, which can help to reduce overall cost.
On top of this, the parts are all fully customized to meet unique needs on a batch-by-batch basis. This means that there is no longer any need for fixed designs and high-volume productions. The best benefit is that unlike other forms of additive manufacturing methods, metal powder bed product development can retain good resolution during production.
When are Metal Powder-Bed Product Development Services needed?
There are numerous applications for this. However, metal powder bed product development has been garnering interest in the aerospace and defense sector due to its ability to be used for commercial and military aircraft parts. For example, the fuel nozzle on the GE9X engines by General Electric is manufactured via metal powder bed fusion.
