3-D Metal Powder Printing with Printalloy®
Service Detail from Advanced Powder Products, Inc.
APP has developed a 3-D metal powder printing technology and is able to produce low cost metal components that meet the metallurgical properties of MPIF Standard 35 for metal injection molding. We can successfully manufacture 100s of components in less than 48 hours. Our focus to date has been to determine the machine parameters to produce different geometries and to evaluate the metallurgy of the produced components. We have also done an initial dimensional capability study.
APP’s printing technology has shown to have a fairly large process window. Geometry capability has shown to be fairly wide. The following image shows various geometries that have been produced using this technology.
