Abstract:
Headmade Materials pushes the Powder Metallurgy further into the Metal AM market with its sinter-based AM-technology called ColdMetalFusion. Furthermore, Headmade Materials partners with industry leaders in the ColdMetalFusion Alliance to leverage the potential of reliable serial production in Metal AM. Since the ColdMetalFusion process runs on standard machines of AM and PM, the robustness and reliability of the process is unmatched and is proven by investigations on dimensional accuracy and reproducibility in this study. Multiple jobs with the same part arrangement were built and characterised. The test bars were aligned in X-, Y-, and Z-direction over the whole build volume. Outstanding results were achieved due to the combination of mature SLS technology and low, homogeneous shrinkage in all three dimensions during sintering.
