Professionals in the metallurgy sector, do you want to assess your additive manufacturing parts?
First of all, what is additive manufacturing?
Additive manufacturing refers to a production process that consists of adding material by stacking successive layers, from material powder (metal, plastic or composite). These powders are then melted using a beam (laser or electrons, for example).
This manufacturing process makes it possible to produce unique and complex parts. That is why it meets the requirements of many applications in highly demanding markets such as aerospace, medical, space, defense, and more.
Why assess your metal parts produced by additive manufacturing?
Assessing your metal parts produced by additive manufacturing is an essential step in optimizing your parts. Indeed, because of their manufacturing process, the quality of additive manufacturing parts depends on several factors, including:
- quality of the powders used
- particle size and shape
- metallurgical condition
- density (true, apparent and tapped)
- chemical composition, etc…
Thus, assessing your parts allows you to better understand them and, in turn, better anticipate the associated failures.
FILAB supports you in the metallurgical assessment of your metal parts produced by additive manufacturing
FILAB is a laboratory with genuine recognized expertise in the field of additive manufacturing. FILAB supports industrial companies with their needs for the testing of metal powders and finished products associated with additive manufacturing.
The FILAB laboratory can carry out these analyses according to Safran Pr 6000 and Pr 7210.
