Dutch metal 3D printer supplier增材行业已进入加快合作吗mplementation of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) for industrial series production. In this partnership, the company will work together with Germany’sFraunhofer生产技术IPT研究所以及Fraunhofer项目中心特威特大学([email protected]）在荷兰，采取整体方法来制定材料开发，设计指南和后处理。目的是鼓励LPBF与现有工业过程链的集成。
“我们的合作将导致新的解决方案，这将有助于行业在快速轨道上改善其在L-PBF领域的AM活动，” Fraunhofer IPT增材制造能力领域负责人Kai Winands预测。

Industrial scale additive manufacturing
The MetalFab1 is Additive Industries’ flagship product. An entirely modular machine, the system has units for each respective part of the additive manufacturing process. Up to four of the optional modules can be AM cores dedicated to production of parts, the further four are for heat treatment, product removal, storage and exchange. Applied in each high value vertical (aerospace, automotive and medical) some of the MetalFab1’s most notable users include Alfa Romeo F1 Racing,Volkswagen，以及一家位于加利福尼亚的未命名的航空航天公司将其机器计数提高到十。根据科学主任伊恩·吉布森（Ian Gibson）的说法[email protected]，“ Metalfab1
is in my view the first metal printer that has been designed from the bottom up with
考虑工业规模的制造。”
跟踪金属3D打印过程
Fraunhofer IPT是希望将敏锐的高科技解决方案传播到制造过程的行业的关键合作伙伴。在3D打印中，这包括纤维增强塑料生产和数字工程和增材制造的工业实施（想法）来自德国政府的项目。设置为类似目的，[email protected]“支持以应用程序为导向的系统解决方案的行业”，包括行业4.0审核，生命科学工程和添加剂制造。Fraunhofer还推出了该研究所在贝内克斯国家的活动。
Each part of the process chain, both included in the MetalFab1 and peripheral to it, will be accounted for in this collaboration between the experienced partners. “In this way,” Daan Kersten, founder and CEO of Additive Industries, explains, “we can cover the entire field of industrial requirements from materials science, additive processes and post-processing to integration into existing processes. Because we know that it is particularly difficult for manufacturing companies to keep track of all this themselves.”
