A partnership between Italian corporations 3D4MEC Srl and WeAreAM Srl goals to facilitate the usage of steel additive manufacturing for producing spare elements and new merchandise in industrial sectors. By the collaboration, 3D4MEC will provide WeAreAM with two steel AM techniques, particularly its 3D4STEEL L-PBF system for carbon and non-carbon steels and the 3D4BRASS system for brass and copper-based alloys.
Based mostly in Sasso Marconi, 3D4MEC focuses on growing 3D printing options for particular alloys. With 3D4MEC’s two steel AM techniques put in, WeAreAM—the Heart of Competence in Additive Applied sciences and Powder Metallurgy for Trade—will have the ability to provide enhanced AM providers to industrial prospects in addition to encourage AM adoption and the event of recent functions and supplies, comparable to lead-free alloys.
“We’re captivated with our collaboration with WeAreAM, which goals to show how 3D printing applied sciences can be utilized to create useful objects of commercial curiosity,” says Ivano Corsini, founder and president of 3D4MEC. “Serial elements produced utilizing 3D4STEEL and 3D4BRASS machines are made quickly, meet all crucial security necessities for trade and permit customers to design new merchandise. The WeAreAM website in Provaglio d’Iseo (Brescia) is of strategic significance, being situated in a key space of the Lombardy manufacturing territory and a degree of reference at each a nationwide and European stage.”
At its Lombardy facility, WeAreAM gives built-in providers that cowl your complete 3D printing course of chain, from product design and re-engineering, to printing steel elements, to high quality management and post-processing. The competence middle works with corporations in industrial sectors, like plumbing and heating, to make the manufacturing of out of date elements, spare elements and wholly new merchandise extra environment friendly when it comes to supply occasions and prices. The 2 new L-PBF techniques from 3D4MEC will develop its capabilities additional, opening up extra materials prospects.
Paolo Folgarait, co-founder, president and CEO of WeAreAM, commented on the partnership: “The selection of 3D4MEC applied sciences comes on the finish of an in-depth examination of the aggressive and efficiency benefits supplied by the 3D4STEEL and 3D4BRASS fashions and suits completely into the Competence Heart’s technique to supply built-in steel AM options to native, nationwide and and European industries. The corporate is already geared up with post-processing choices to complete printed elements, from non-destructive testing, to floor warmth remedies, to the entire qualification of metallurgical, mechanical, structural and useful properties.”
The 3D4STEEL and 3D4BRASS printers can be delivered to WeAreAM within the second half of January 2024. To show its providers and new steel 3D printing capabilities, WeAreAM can be internet hosting an open home in January at its headquarters, the place each new printers can be offered. The open home invitations teams of as much as 20 individuals to take part in guided excursions from 9am to six pm on January 30 and 31, 2024. Registration for the occasion opens in early January and extra data may be discovered right here.
