We are proud to be part of the working group contributing to ETN Global's latest report on the Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) Machine Evaluation Initiative. The consortium analyzed the capabilities of LPBF machines from various OEMs by manufacturing components with features specifically relevant to the energy sector, using Oerlikon Metco's nickel-based powder, MetcoAdd 718C.

Here comes a BIG announcement! Together with Northrop Grumman, we're taking metal additive manufacturing to the next level. We're significantly boosting our metal AM capability at our Huntersville, North Carolina, US facility with the installation of the AMCM M4K-4 large bed, multi-laser metal printer. With the addition of this large-scale 3D printer, we’re addressing the growing demand for complex, large-scale components, particularly in the aerospace, defense and semiconductor industries. Built on the proven EOS M400 platform, the M4K is equipped with four 1,000W lasers and can handle builds of up to 450 x 450 x 1000 mm. #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #MetalAM

Congratulations to Airbus Defence and Space on winning the #EUProjectInShape Open Innovation Service (OIS)! This initiative invited innovators from all industries to submit use cases aimed at advancing Additive Manufacturing with InShaPe laser beam shaping technology. Airbus Defence and Space’s winning submission focused on space communication hardware, a field where they have already implemented Additive Manufacturing for serial production. The laser beam shaping technology may hold the potential to further enhance satellite components in terms of productivity and quality. As part of the research consortium, we are excited to collaborate with Airbus. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ddFNXe3v

From February 11–12, we will be showcasing our Additive Component Manufacturing expertise for applications such as cold plates, satellite components, RF components, and suppressors. We look forward to meeting you at MILAM 2025! #MILAM2025 #3Dprinting #AdditiveManufacturing

Additive Manufacturing provides key advantages in creating more efficient and optimized suppressor designs. At DMC, our Product Engineer Roman Block discussed how Oerlikon tackles scalability challenges by 'Enhancing Additive Manufacturing for Suppressors through Manufacturing Readiness Levels.' #AdditiveManufacturing #DMC2024

✈️ Visit us at Aero India! We are excited to attend India’s premier air show in Bengaluru, where we will showcase our leading edge Additive Component Manufacturing capabilities and AM materials for the aerospace industry, along with our sustainable PVD and Thermal Spray solutions. Join us for insightful discussions on how we’re shaping the future of aerospace! 📅 February 10–14, Bengaluru, India 📍 Hall G, Booth 5.5A We look forward to welcoming you!

Exciting news for Dr. Arkadi Zikin and the team at the Laser Center of Competence in Wohlen! With the arrival of the fourth 7-axis 3D Laser Center Gantry by Karl H. Arnold Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co.KG, we are expanding our Directed Energy Deposition (DED) manufacturing capabilities.   With its high deposition rates, minimal material waste, and outstanding mechanical properties, DED is a perfect fit for the demanding standards of the aerospace industry. This new equipment allows us to create highly intricate structures while precisely controlling temperature throughout the process—a critical factor for producing components that are both durable and lightweight. #AdditiveManufacturing #DED #metalAM

Materials are at the core of Additive Manufacturing, empowering manufacturers to meet the demanding requirements of complex components. Located in the heart of Michigan, USA, the Oerlikon Metco facilities in Plymouth and Troy specialize in developing and producing high-quality Nickel-, Iron-, Cobalt-, and Titanium-based metal powders. These MetcoAdd materials are precisely engineered for a variety of AM processes, including LB-PBF, EB-PBF, DED, and CSAM. #materials #AMmetalpowder #AdditiveManufacturing #metalAM
