Selection of products, technologies, devices and metal materials for prototyping (3D printing technologies from wires and metal powders)

Description

We offer a comprehensive demonstration service aimed at evaluating the potential of metal 3D printing technologies – WAAM (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing) and SLM (Selective Laser Melting) – tailored to the specific needs of each client.

As part of the service:

  • We analyze the client’s needs and technical conditions,

  • Select appropriate feedstock materials (wire or powder),

  • Prepare the demonstration setup,

  • Carry out a sample print of a component using WAAM (within a 3-axis range) and/or SLM,

  • Optionally, conduct an assessment of the printed part’s structure and properties,

  • Hold a summary meeting to present and discuss the results.

Additionally, we provide information on the available feedstock materials for metal 3D printing, their production processes, and the potential for manufacturing such materials at Ł-IMN.
