RETHINKING MANUFACTURING
REDIFINING POSSIBILITY
TRANSFORMING DIGITAL 3D DESIGN INTO PHYSICAL 3D ARTEFACTS...
The technology overcomes many of the challenges faced by current 3D printing technologies by: providing widely available and inexpensive precursor materials; process reliability; product quality; feedstock utilization; quasi-inexistent porosity (no voids or cavities); customizable density and hardness; low energy consumption; high stability; minimizing surface finishing; eliminating metal oxides; unlimited sizing; and being unaffected by gravity.
(Other Additive Manufacturing technologies require substantial and costly Post Processing. /powder, support & substrate removal/thermal treatment/stress relief/hot isostatic processing/solution treatment/ageing/surface machining/etc…)
producing metal, alloy and composite powders for a multitude of applications
The technology offers the capability to produce metal, metal alloy and advanced metal composite powders; employing a range of in-process techniques to tailor the end product with regard to crystal size, morphology, porosity, hardness, density and form.
TCM Research is ideally positioned, with respect to expertise, capabilities and value-added services offered to the Powder Metallurgy and Additive Manufacturing markets, to exploit from this trend and benefit from the market traction and demand for these opportunities!
