Heat Treating Comparative Study on New Tech

Best of the WebSource: AMpower

Don't you just wish there was direct, consolidated information that clearly identified the key characteristics of new technologies? All too often, there is a dissonance between scholarly discoveries and jargon and the work on the ground (or the shop floor, as it were). But today's resource is different.

In this Heat Treat Today Best of the Web feature, Ampower presents analytical evaluations of sinter-based additive manufacturing (AM) technologies compared against laser beam powder bed fusion (LB-PBF) and metal injection molding (MIM). The analysis covers over 50 specimens from 9 different system suppliers. The authors are Dr.-Ing. Maximilian Munsch, Matthias Schmidt-Lehr, and Dr.-Ing. Eric Wycisk (pictured above left to right).

An excerpt: "For automotive and machine industry, binder jetting technology and metal fused deposition modeling offer great future potential. They will cover the gap between casting and LB-PBF regarding cost and productivity."
