Oerlikon Offers Metal Powders for 3D Printing

Together with our sister business unit, Oerlikon Metco, we offer AM (3D Printing) tested and qualified nickel, titanium, cobalt and stainless steel metal powders with the technical support required for successful printing. We have developed an intensive materials development program to qualify new materials for the unique requirements of AM processing. Results in the form of reference mechanical properties, heat treatment and microstructure from our printed materials are a foundation ready to be built upon.

Our global engineering, sales, and logistics network means we are ready to help you select the best materials for your specific application.  Whether you need a material from our existing portfolio or a custom material to meet your specification we stand ready to support.

Scoperta - Rapid Alloy Development

Oerlikon recently acquired Scoperta, a technology company with computational Rapid Alloy Development tools to create new alloys and improve existing alloys

By using Scoperta’s industry-leading ‘big data’ analytical software to design new alloys, it means our R&D team can develop the next generation of new alloys in a fraction of the time you would need anywhere else. This means we can get your new materials into the market quicker than anybody else.

Using this powerful tool at the heart of our R&D activities has many advantages - for example, new alloys can be developed to match the specific performance criteria of an existing alloy, but with a completely different composition, one that is actually “printable”. The result is that new alloys can be commercialised much more effectively, giving customers the materials for their applications far faster than through conventional empirical material development methods.

When coupled with our pilot atomization, AM process expertise and materials testing capabilities this unique capability ensures that Oerlikon AM can optimize and prove out new alloys faster than ever before.
