How Defense Forces Can Overcome Spare Part Shortages with On-Site Metal 3D Printing

Uncategorized / By

Metal 3D printing in Defence When a Single Broken Part Jeopardises a Defence Mission In modern defence operations, success can hinge on a single mechanical component. A failed pump, cracked housing, or worn-out valve can force vehicles or vessels out of action, causing delays, increasing risk, and adding to operational costs. Yet, these parts are …

Bridging the Gap: Making CFD-Optimized HVAC Fan Blades Manufacturable with Aluminum Additive Manufacturing

Uncategorized / By

In the HVAC industry, achieving optimal airflow and energy efficiency is paramount. Engineers increasingly rely on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to design fan blades that enhance performance and reduce energy consumption. However, the complex geometries resulting from CFD optimisation often pose significant manufacturing challenges. Traditional manufacturing methods struggle to produce these intricate designs, limiting the …

Molten Metal Deposition: solving key challenges in Aluminum Additive Manufacturing

Uncategorized / By

Printing aluminium has always been a trade-off between printability and performance. Molten Metal Deposition (MMD) ends the compromise by letting engineers use the alloys they actually need. A mismatch between process and material Aluminium is used everywhere: in aerospace, automotive, electronics and energy. It’s lightweight, corrosion-resistant and highly conductive. However, while conventional processing is relatively …

Aluminum Additive Manufacturing: overcoming the barriers to industrial scale

Uncategorized / By

Aluminium offers everything engineers want, except a reliable way to 3D-print it. That’s finally changing. Ask any engineer about Aluminum Additive Manufacturing (AAM), and you’ll quickly sense the contradiction: it’s a material everyone wants, yet almost nobody truly enjoys printing. Lightweight, strong, thermally conductive, and corrosion-resistant, aluminum has long been an engineer’s dream. But making …
