Unlocking Complex Metal Geometries with Additive Manufacturing

A breakthrough in our ability to construct complex metal geometries signals a new dawn in precision components. Given its remarkable properties, you could be forgiven for questioning how mankind was able to ever start working with tungsten. Its density is around 1.7 times that of lead and it has the highest boiling and melting points of any element in the …

3D Printed Tungsten – Previously Impossible Complex Geometries

“Attenuation properties of 3D printed tungsten are superior to the lead alternative and the opportunity for bespoke collimator design is appealing.” Gear et al. EJNMMI Physics (2019) Above are the findings of tests carried out by the Joint Department of Physics, Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust and Institute of Cancer Research. The work aimed to characterise the attenuation properties of …

3D Printed Tungsten at TCT 2018, Birmingham, UK

Showcasing at TCT 2018 – 25th- 27th Sept, Wolfmet 3D is the revolutionary additive manufacturing process provided by M&I Materials. SLM technology is combined with pure tungsten powder to produce complex components. The advantage is Wolfmet 3D can produce geometries not possible with CNC machining, which allows designers to give free rein to their imagination. Wolfmet 3D has been used …
