Carpenter Technology Corporation，美国的特种合金和金属粉末生产商宣布收购CalRAM，粉末床融合添加剂制造技术的专家。
Carpenter首席执行官托尼（Tony Thene）在评论购买时说：“ Calram熟练的专业知识和牢固的客户关系将加速并增强我们的能力，并将进一步增强我们成为端到端下一代下一代增材制造解决方案的首选提供商的能力。”
利用增材制造成功
Philadelphia-based Carpenter, whichacquired Titanium powder producer Puris in a $35 million deal去年，在2018财年第二季度的一系列财务业绩之后，该公司继续投资于增材制造业。
在截至2018年12月截至12月的截止期间的三个月中，Carpenterreported a revenue of $487.8m, up by $60.4m on the same period in FY 2017, a 13% increase that was driven in part by the performance of the company’s Performance Engineered Products (PEP) segment.
Carpenter业务的PEP细分市场生产用于3D打印的金属电线，以及在Carpenter Powder Products（CPP）下进行高度工程的金属粉末。
These powders and wire are feedstock for metal additive manufacturing operations that produce jet-engine fuel nozzles, rocket-thrust chambers, and orthopedic implants.
Acquiring CalRAM’s manufacturing capability
CalRAM’s 25,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Camarillo, California, houses its powder manufacturing equipment together with Electron Beam Melting, Laser Sintering, and heat treatment finishing services to manufacture low volume parts on demand.
首席执行官Tony Thene解释了Carpenter的决定，该公司购买了一家也提供制造服务的公司，Tony Thene说：
“This strategic acquisition builds upon our existing additive manufacturing capabilities and provides direct entry into the rapidly expanding part production segment of the additive manufacturing value chain.”
“As additive manufacturing continues to evolve into more advanced components with increasing complexity, our customers are seeking partners who can not only produce parts, but also possess metallurgical expertise to help determine the best materials and processes to fit their needs in demanding applications,” Thene added.
