Heat Treating 3D Additive Manufactured Parts
At present, there are two main techniques used in the additive manufacturing of 3D metal parts, Electron Beam Manufacturing (EBM) and Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS). These take time but are outstanding for creating complex or ‘impossible’ parts which cannot be created using traditional casting or machining methodologies. This has already resulted in the creation of a multitude of prototype pieces as well as countless ‘impossible parts’ for the aerospace, automotive, tooling and medical sectors.
