MetalWorm and Nurol Makina, each primarily based in Ankara, Turkey, have accomplished testing of an armored car element manufactured utilizing Directed Power Deposition (DED) 3D printing expertise. The element weighs roughly 8.5 kilograms and was produced utilizing metal filler materials earlier than being machined to ultimate specs.
The half underwent laboratory and area testing over an eight-month interval after set up on an armored car. Put up-test inspections confirmed no indicators of failure or efficiency points. The element handed each damaging and non-destructive testing protocols required for protection functions.
The businesses introduced their findings on the AMC Turkey 2025 Convention. The research aimed to judge whether or not DED expertise might function a viable different to conventional manufacturing strategies in protection trade functions.
In line with the businesses, the outcomes point out that DED expertise might provide benefits for low-volume manufacturing, custom-designed elements, and functions requiring speedy supply. MetalWorm continues to work with firms throughout protection, aerospace, vitality, maritime, and equipment manufacturing sectors to develop DED functions.
The collaboration represents a part of MetalWorm’s ongoing analysis and improvement efforts in additive manufacturing expertise. The corporate focuses on course of optimization and creating new materials functions for industrial use.
