Nordmetall GmbH, Neukirchen, Germany, specializes in dynamic materials testing, and development projects that advance technologies for manufacturing components from high-strength steels. To improve its process technologies, Nordmetall recently acquired a GEFERTEC arc403 for additive manufacturing. Nordmetall CEO Dr. Norman Herzig explains: “We work on many customer projects that include components made from high-strength steels – […]
Exploring wire-frame based additive manufacturing
Fast Production at low costs are the main advantages of wire-based additive manufacturing technologies for aircraft applications. The aircraft industry is among the leaders in 3D printing of metal parts. Within the Regis project, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy, Airbus is working on the application of additive manufacturing with […]
This additive manufacturing technology is based on electric arc welding
Additive manufacturing technologies for metal parts are mainly used for high-prized applications like prototyping. GEFERTEC GmbH introduced the new GTarc machines, which are able to manufacture metal parts cost-efficiently and at high production speed. The 3DMP additive manu-facturing technology is based on well proven electric arc welding and uses wire as original material. The final […]
Produce metal additive parts in lot sizes of 1
Additive research continues to develop new methods to make parts by adding, rather than subtracting, material. The latest example is GEFERTEC GmbH and its 3DMP technology. 3DMP enables the cost-efficient and fast production of near-net-shape metal parts. Quality of the parts is comparable to standard manufacturing methods. The 3DMP technology is based on proven electric […]
