Höganäs launches additive manufacturing and MIM venture

Höganäs AB世界上最大的粉末状金属生产国,开发了一家新产品,专注于添加剂制造和金属注塑成型(MIM)领域。

Called Customization Technologies, the new area will be part of the Höganäs Industrial business, and has been created to meet recent demand for the technical development of AM and MIM .

The relationship between additive and MIM

Additive manufacturing and MIM are closely linked by the metal binder jetting process. The MIM process gained recognition in engineering throughout the 1990s. Following this prominence,许多公司已经发明了基于绑扎的3D打印技术通过利用MIM工艺中使用的相对便宜的金属粉末。

Höganäs subsidiaryDigital Metalis one such company that has developed metal binder jet 3D printers using MIM powders. By jetting a liquid binder onto the powder that is afterwards sintered from the metal by heat, Digital Metal 3D printers can create incredibly detailed bespoke components, includingbespoke busts

Genesis of strong position in the market

在凹陷的新的定制技术业务ment, Höganäs will work on solutions across entire additive and MIM value chain. Products will include the development of new applications for the technologies, support, market development and global sales.

定制技术还将利用公司最近收购的美国收购的专业知识使合作伙伴H.C.Starck表面技术和陶瓷粉末和瑞典球形金属粉生产商Metasphere技术– in an endeavour specifically focused onAM的材料生产

商业高级副总裁Kennet Almkvist将领导定制技术领域。Almkvist解释说:“有了这项新的事业,Höganäs成为了国际,不断扩大的市场中这些领域内的产品和服务的强大供应商。”
