Explore Applications:

• Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM)is exceptionally versatile, allowing for the creation of highly complex and customized parts that would not be possible with subtractive methodologies. AM minimizes material waste by building components layer by layer, reducing costs and environmental impact.  It enables rapid prototyping, on-demand production, and the consolidation of multiple parts into a single, intricate design, promoting lightweighting and resource efficiency. With its ability to push the boundaries of design and innovation – while reducing lead times and costs, additive manufacturing is transforming industries and driving new frontiers in manufacturing excellence.

• Optimized Production Efficiency: Improve flowability and packing characteristics for efficient MIM processing
• Sustainable Choice for Manufacturers: Reduce reliance on virgin materials and meet sustainability goals through our reclaimed metal powders

• Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP)

Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) is a manufacturing process that is used to reduce the porosity and increase density of materials. The process subjects the target materials to both elevated temperature and pressure in a high-pressure containment vessel.  As the chamber is heated, the pressure increases, and the resultant pressure compresses and densifies the subject material.  Since the pressure is uniform in all directions, the term isostatic is applied.

• Laser Cladding

This cutting-edge technique empowers the creation of highly precise and durable metal components with unmatched speed and efficiency. By applying laser energy to deposit material layer by layer, it enhances material properties, making parts more resilient and wear-resistant. With its ability to repair and refurbish worn parts and add features to existing components, laser cladding offers a sustainable and cost-effective solution for industries seeking top-notch performance and longevity in their metal products.

• Direct Energy Deposition (DED)

(DED) is a versatile additive manufacturing process that enables the creation of complex and high-performance metal components with exceptional precision. By simultaneously melting powder material and depositing it layer by layer, DED allows for the fabrication of intricate geometries and the integration of multiple materials within a single build. This technology not only accelerates production times but also enhances the mechanical properties of parts, making them stronger and more durable. Ideal for both prototyping and large-scale manufacturing, DED offers a flexible and cost-effective solution for industries aiming to innovate and optimize their metal product offerings.

• Powder Coating

Powder Coating is an advanced finishing technique that applies a protective and decorative layer to metal surfaces with exceptional uniformity and durability. Using electrostatic spray application, fine powder particles are evenly distributed and then cured under heat to form a robust, long-lasting coating. This method not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of components but also provides superior resistance to corrosion, wear, and environmental factors. Ideal for both new manufacturing and refurbishment projects, powder coating offers a sustainable and cost-effective solution for industries aiming to improve the longevity and performance of their metal products.
