MT Aerospace and AddUp have been companions since 2020, working to industrialize steel AM in Europe. Now, with the addition of two FormUp 350 PBF machines, loaded with titanium and aluminum powder, MT Aerospace additional extends the vary of companies it will probably supply to industrial prospects, particularly within the aerospace, area, protection, automotive and vitality sectors. These two PBF machines be part of the 2 Modulo 400 DED machines already operated by MT Aerospace for the event and qualification of satellite tv for pc gas tanks, in collaboration with the European Area Company.
“MT Aerospace’s FormUp 350 machines, loaded with titanium and aluminum powder, have proved their potential to provide extremely advanced components, for instance, warmth exchangers, with an unequalled floor end. That is made attainable not solely by utilizing a curler coating system but additionally by the exact positioning of each laser on all the FormUp 350 platform” defined Markus Axtner, SVP Additive Manufacturing Program Administration.
The mixture of minimal quantity of substrate, diminished post-printing work and a construct charge 15% greater than different machines end in improved lead time and diminished total half prices for MT Aerospace’s prospects.
The AddUp methods are absolutely built-in in MT Aerospace’s providing, which covers all the growth and manufacturing chain.
Frédéric Le Moullec, AddUp Gross sales Director, defined, “Having our machines put in within the industrial setting of MT Aerospace in Augsburg (Bavaria) makes our applied sciences accessible to European producers in numerous totally different industries. MT Aerospace’s cutting-edge experience within the design, manufacturing and certification of high-tech parts is very complementary to that of AddUp, and permits us to develop optimized additive manufacturing options for our prospects collectively.”
Additional to those machine acquisitions, MT Aerospace and AddUp are engaged in a powerful partnership to assist industrial prospects of their Additive Manufacturing journey by combining each their experience: AddUp’s legacy, inherited from Michelin and Fives, to make industrial AM machines and monitor report of creating components reminiscent of implants, System 1 engine parts, satellite tv for pc antennas and plane flight tools, and MT Aerospace’s of producing Ariane rocket components.
These machines and this partnership with AddUp will play a key position in MT Aerospace’s development plan.
“As an Finish-to-Finish AM Contract Producer for high-quality merchandise, we depend on a high-performance machine park. The 2 FormUp 350 methods are properly suited to additional strengthen this machine park. On the similar time this offers us the likelihood to develop additional with our prospects in varied industries – from area and aerospace, to protection, automotive and vitality – and supply them closing, high-quality merchandise in serial manufacturing,” stated Thomas Weitlaner, SVP Additive Manufacturing Gross sales
AddUp will current a few of the key purposes developed and manufactured by its buyer MT Aerospace on the Formnext exhibition in Frankfurt on November 7-10, 2023.
