Nordmetall GmbH, Neukirchen, Germany, specializes in dynamic materials testing, and development projects that advance technologies for manufacturing components from high-strength steels. To improve its process technologies, Nordmetall recently acquired a GEFERTEC arc403 for additive manufacturing.

 .

Nordmetall CEO Dr. Norman Herzig explains: “We work on many customer projects that include components made from high-strength steels – and build-up welding is one of our standard manufacturing techniques. Now, with our arc403, we can automate this process instead of relying on manual operations.”

 .

The arc403 uses the 3DMP process, which is based on arc welding technology using wire as the starting material. 3DMP is fast and easy to handle compared to powder-based 3D printing. The wire material is available at for most standard materials. The arc403 enables 3-axis production of metal components with a maximum mass […]
