Powder Bed Melting

Final parts with excellent mechanical qualities and that in many cases are impossible to manufacture by other means.

It allows to generate within the parts, support structures and internal filling that provide an important resistance to pressure, torsion, and traction tests, with a considerable reduction in weight. These types of structures are known as “bird bone”.

The technique allows to play with the density of the material avoiding the internal pores that occur, for example, in the injection processes.

Printing by means of a high-power laser beam (>200 W) on a bed of metal powder, using a galvo head that moves two mirrors at high speed.

The layer ranges from 20 to 100 microns.

Long machine life which has much less mechanical wear.

Manufacture of high precision parts in stainless steel (A316L), tool steel (C300) and inconel (IN718) , Aluminum (AlSi10Mg) and Titanium (Ti6Al4V).

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

The characterization of Aluminum AlSi10Mg has been carried out by the IMH center within the ICME ELKARTEK 2021 program (file number KK 2021 00022) obtaining and testing horizontal and vertical specimens according to the UNE EN 10002 1 standard for the characterization of mechanical properties both in the X Y plane as in the Z axis of the machine.
