In additive manufacturing, the ‘buy-to-fly' ratio (BTF) refers to the ratio of the initial material volume purchased (buy) to the final volume of the material in the finished part (fly).     The importance of this concept is notably heightened during the production of components made from Titanium and nickel-based alloys, as these materials have a higher cost per kg/lb compared to other alloys. For instance, we managed to bring down the BTF ratio from approximately 90 to under 10 for a part made of a nickel alloy, leading to a considerable decrease in costs. This was accomplished by employing wire-DED methods to produce such geometries.    If you're interested in cutting down on the manufacturing costs of your parts, we invite you to get in touch with us at enquiries@fastech-engineering.com.    https://lnkd.in/dUDswjz    GEFERTEC FasTech LLC #3dmetalprinting #ded #waam #metalprintedpart #additivemanufacturing  #metalprinting #gefertec #usmanufacturing #metaladditivemanufacturing

#Metal Additive Manufacturing applications are filled with examples that involve the use of titanium, Inconel and recently, pure copper. As we are exploring the next phase of growth of this segment, we need to consider aluminum and aluminum alloys as the range of materials AM users can capitalize on. The only thing is that the benefits one can get by processing aluminum alloys with AM are underrated, even overlooked. Together with @Alison Forsyth, CEO of Alloy Enterprises Inc and Alireza ARBAB, Head of Additive Manufacturing at Constellium, we discussed the opportunities and challenges of aluminum #additivemanufacturing - with a key focus on the different AM technologies that can process aluminum as well as the AM #applications that will drive the use of aluminum alloys across the metal AM segment. https://lnkd.in/evcMzaxn

Looking for a productivity edge? Discover the power of a customized, engineered powder to 📉 Reduce part costs 📈 Improve throughput ☑️ Deliver consistency Using a powder designed and produced for additive manufacturing takes advantage of the full potential of laser powder-bed fusion equipment. You don’t have to slow the machine down to accommodate an unpredictable melt pool resulting from inconsistent material. With the right material, you can use more laser power, increase scan speeds, and produce thicker layers. The result: up to 3X increase in production speed and a 50% reduction in cost – with no impact on part performance or quality.

WEBINAR REMINDER Join our webinar: Additive manufacturing of stainless steels Discover how additive manufacturing (AM) is revolutionising the creation of stainless steel components. This webinar, based on a recent worldstainless publication, dives into four core AM techniques. Unlike conventional subtractive methods like cutting, abrasion or machining from stock, followed by assembly, AM offers unique advantages, including: 💥 Extended refinement time for developing complex items. 💥 Manufacturing high entropy alloys with exotic properties or compositions that traditional methods can't achieve. 💥 Practical savings through CAD files, reducing warehousing needs and capital tied up in inventory. The webinar will cover key techniques, including powder fusion, metal binding and sintering, and wire or metal powder laser additive melting, outlining both their advantages and limitations.
