In the rapidly maturing world of Additive Manufacturing (AM), the industry’s focus has shifted. For the last decade, the headlines were dominated by the machines—faster lasers, larger build volumes, and smarter recoaters. But as metal 3D printing moves from “prototype” to “production,” experienced metallurgists are realizing that the hardware has outpaced the materials. The reality…
The variety of materials available for metal AM systems is continuously expanding. Common materials used are stainless steels, aluminium, nickel, cobalt-chrome and titanium alloys, with a number of machine manufacturers offering their own materials.
Belmont assists with the production of specialty materials that are designed with 3D printing processes in mind.
