Metal Additive Manufacturing Conference - MAMC 2023

Metal additive manufacturing is lacking behind on the adoption by industry for industrial production. Despite the well-known advantages, the total production, handlings and integration efforts are the main barriers, especially for aluminium alloys. Molten Metal Deposition is a new metal AM technology that tackles these barriers. This is realized be use of wire feedstock, absence of lasers, reduced support structures & thermal stresses, allowing automation and processing of high strength aluminium alloys (6xxx & 7xxx).
This presentation will give an overview on how the nature of the technology can realize the step towards economical serial production. Additionally, the material characterization & properties will be presented on how this relates to the performance and cost of applications.
