Dynamic, Cosmopolitan and Supremely Cool!

Dynamic, cosmopolitan and supremely cool is how the IEEE describes our home town and who are we to disagree! In a year that sees M&I Materials nominated for Manchester Evening News’ Business of the Year, our CEO Giles Salt recognised as ‘One to Watch’ by the Telegraph and our Technical Director, Amanda Quadling was judged to be The Financial Times’s 10th most …

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 SNMMI 2018

Would you like to see first-hand what can be produced using our revolutionary Selective laser melting (SLM) / additive manufacturing process? Wolfmet 3D samples will be on display at this year’s SNMMI 2018, 23rd to 26th June, Philadelphia, USA – Booth 1010. What is Wolfmet 3D? Wolfmet 3D utilises a high powered laser to fuse successive layers of tungsten powder …

Personalised Cancer Treatment with Wolfmet 3D

Wolfmet 3D printed tungsten collimator proves to be the perfect answer as physics and manufacturing combine to progress molecular radiotherapy imaging. In molecular radiotherapy (MRT) of the thyroid, existing SPECT systems are unable to accurately quantify the radiation absorbed by those patients undergoing treatment. As a consequence, only limited information regarding the success of this radiotherapy treatment has been available – …

Wolfmet 3D- Redefining what’s Possible at EMIM 2017

Wolfmet specialises in producing complex tungsten collimators using our additive manufacturing process. Wolfmet 3D allows the manufacture of high-precision components by building up successive layers of tungsten to achieve geometries which cannot be produced by conventional machining techniques. Therefore the design of tungsten collimators is no longer restricted by the limitations of traditional machining methods. Our additive manufacturing process is transforming what is possible …
