The infrastructure provides the entire Additive Manufacturing (AM) chain for metallic and polymeric materials, from powder production to characterisation of the components produced. It makes use of state-of-the-art solutions such as:
- Computed tomography
- “Design for AM”
- Production of metal and polymer parts
- Customised heat treatments (including HIPping and quenching)
- Finishing the components with unconventional methodologies.
Main services
- Feasibility studies throughout the Additive Manufacturing supply chain:
- Development and characterisation of metal powders
- Design (polymer and metal DfAM) and component manufacture
- Heat treatments, HIP, development of finishing methods
- Dimensional, surface and defect characterisation using CT SCAN
- Microstructural and mechanical characterisation.
Equipment
- Dimensional inspection (scanner, CT scan, contact systems)
- Polymer AM systems (FDM, SLS, SLA, DLP)
- Metal AM systems (L-PBF, E-PBF)
- Metal powder production (Gas atomiser)
- NNS (HIP)
- Heat treatments
- Material characterisation
Access
- Service provided by in-house staff (without intervention of external users)
