™ materials combine proven alloys with the consistency and quality required for additive manufacturing of implants and medical components.
– October 8, 2021 – Additive Manufacturing (AM) is changing the world.
It is used in the manufacturing of engine components, heat shields, and other critical aerospace parts.
Oerlikon is also building a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Michigan, USA, to produce advanced materials for additive manufacturing applications.
Additive manufacturing technology, also known as 3D printing, allows metal components to be produced in a “layer-by-layer” manufacturing process.
Tool manufacturers as well as end users in the automobile and aerospace industries, injection moulders and mould-makers, benefit from a number of advantageous properties: High thermal stability Sharper
Threading is often one of the last manufacturing steps, and in addition to substrate material, geometry and design of the cutting edge, high-quality tools and their optimum coating are essential.
Whether injection moulding, extrusion or blow moulding - only top quality surfaces ensure optimal manufacturing productivity and efficiency.
precisely Cutting tool life and production volume of your forming tools are significantly improved and more predictable Dry machining and less lubrication reduce costs and cleaning effort Advance manufacturing
