REM Floor Engineering has entered right into a Memorandum of Understanding with Nikon Superior Manufacturing (Nikon AM) and Constellium to develop optimised floor ending processes for metallic for additive manufacturing.
The trio are working collectively to advance REM’s Chemical Sprucing and Chemical-Mechanical Sprucing processes for laser powder mattress fusion with Constellium’s Aheadd CP1 aluminium powder.
In accordance with a press launch, the fabric has generated curiosity from customers within the aerospace, protection, motorsport and semiconductor sectors resulting from its excessive stage of printability and single-step warmth remedy. The purpose of this deal is to offer quicker, less expensive implementation for purposes comparable to aerospace structural parts, RF waveguides, and warmth exchangers.
Justin Michaud, CEO of REM Floor Engineering stated “We’re excited in regards to the potential that this program will deliver to the AM market as an entire.”
It’s actually not that sophisticated
“When will additive turn out to be really industrialised and mainstream? It has, you’ve simply been left behind speaking about it.”
Commenting on the collaboration’s potential in protection and aerospace manufacturing, Dr. Behrang Poorganji, VP Know-how, Nikon Superior Manufacturing Inc., stated, “Aheadd CP1 is a extremely succesful aluminum alloy providing excessive conductivity and strong processability and by pairing REM’s superior floor ending applied sciences with our large-format, production-ready L-PBF platforms, we purpose to unlock its full software envelope, significantly in thermal administration and structural parts.”
Sylvain Henry, Vice President, Analysis & Improvement, Constellium added, “Aheadd CP1 continues to display distinctive potential for next-generation structural and thermal parts throughout a number of industries. By way of this early-stage collaboration, we purpose to discover superior floor ending pathways that would additional lengthen the alloy’s capabilities for high-performance purposes.”
