Additive Manufacturing Processes

Additive manufacturing processes are time-compression-technologies that create near-net shaped components from CAD models to product deposition. Generally this is done without the requirement for any additional processing. In essence, this process is creating components by adding material on rather than removing material.

Additive manufacturing offers numerous practical advantages including:

• Reduced cost
• Reduced waste
• Reduced lead times
• Rapid prototyping possible
• Design change flexibility

Additive manufacturing processes employed by the AMRC include;

• Shape Metal Deposition
• Metal Injection Moulding (MIM)
• Powder Deposition using EBM

High Performance Machining is performed at the AMRC.
