Part Fabrication using Multi-Material 3D Powder Printing Technology
Design Multi-Material CAD Model
Complex parts are designed using metal and ceramic powders surrounded by a supporting powder that remains loose during HIP processing. No support structures or binders are required to maintain the shape of the part.
Generate Toolpath
A multi-material sliced toolpath is generated using proprietary pathfinding software that automatically minimizes print time and optimizes the placement of multiple powders in the build.
Selective Powder Deposition
Grid Logic's patented multi-material printing technology selectively deposits multiple powders within the same layer to create a 3D powder structure within a HIP can. Part-to-part qualification is achieved by measuring the mass of all powders during the printing process.
Consolidate Metal and Ceramic Powders using HIP Technology
Complex parts and components are fabricated using HIP processing techniques to consolidate the parts in a sealed can. After the HIP cycle, the near net shape part is removed from the loose supporting material.
