Cooksongold and Sempsa JP, both part of the Heimerle + Meule Group, are working to 3D print the tip plates of bushings made from precious metal in a project that they believe will revolutionise the glass fibre industry.
.
Working with the Institut für RWTH Aachen University (ITA) and EO , Cooksongold has produced a full-sized tip plate with a platinum/rhodium alloy, which was successfully tested at Johns Manville in Slovakia, using its Selective Laser Sintering platforms developed in collaboration with EOS.
.
Having passed initial production trials at Johns Manville, a company called Advanced manufacturing Process Solutions (AMPS) GmbH has been set up to act as a technology showcase to demonstrate the new manufacturing process chain and provide R&D and prototyping services. The organisation has been set up as a ‘cost-sharing environment free of intellectual property’, with glass fibre companies also able to collaborate to support the aim of […]
