Metal Binder Jetting Workshop
StudiesGet 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.
Composite Additive Manufacturing
StudiesProcessing 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.
Cost of Metal Additive Manufacturing
StudiesParticipants 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.
Direct Energy Deposition
StudiesAMPOWER 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.
Hot Isostatic Pressing Of Titanium AM Parts
StudiesTo 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.

Sinter-based technologies
StudiesIn this study, AMPOWER presents an objective and independent view on the current capabilities of sinter-based AM technologies compared with LB-PBF and metal injection molding (MIM). By analyzing over 50 specimens from 9 different system suppliers, AMPOWER is revealing the characteristics of the different technologies.
