Building Trust, Layer by Layer: How Qualification Ensures Reliable High-Performance AM Parts

Fabricating & Metal Work

Industrial 3D printing, or additive manufacturing (AM), has the potential to transform how everything from prosthetics to complex aerospace components are designed and produced. Most importantly, all the crucial process parameters — factors like laser power, scan speed, and layer thickness — are definitively set.

The technology behind serial production

Manufacturer's Monthly

Initially developed by a small team in Sweden, Digital Metal began as a subsidiary of Höganäs AB as a relative unknown in 3D printing. Digital Metal’s 3D metal printing machines with proprietary, high-precision binder jetting technology, required further commercialisation to get into the hands of industry.
