(Ongoing study) Out of the 18 different metal AM technologies AMPOWER categorizes today, vendors of half a dozen technologies have introduced processing of copper and another half a dozen researches the use. AMPOWER will assess the maturity, productivity and cost structure.

Get information beyond the marketing buzz. The AMPOWER Metal Binder Jetting workshop will enable you to fully understand todays and future potential and limitations of the technology and how to utilize it.

Processing of composite materials is a fast growing field within the field of Additive Manufacturing. Today, more than 19 companies develop technology to offer solutions that enable 3D printed components made from composite materials and continuous fibers.

Participants of the workshop will learn about the real costs of metal AM today. Furthermore, you will gain the knowledge to make the decision for the most cost-efficient technology as well as for choosing make vs. buy.

AMPOWER performed a detailed study on surface finishing processes of metal AM parts. The study included research on surface finishing processes, their advantages, use cases and details on the cost structure. In total, 10 different processes that allow (semi-)automatic surface finishing were tested empirically using LB-PBF specimens and 4 different alloys: AlSi10Mg, Ti-6Al-4V, 316L and nickel-based 718.

To advance the knowledge on HIP treatments for AM parts, while enhancing AM specific material properties, AMPOWER investigates and optimizes HIP cycles for LB-, EB-PBF and BJT in this study.
