Metal Additive Manufacturing: applications & examples
Prototyping gearwheels
Additive Manufacturing lends itself perfectly to prototyping. New developed gearwheels are produced by 3D printing to quickly obtain proof-of-concept components.
Micro filtration parts
During the customer’s search for a suitable production technique, they discovered the possibilities of 3D printing. By 3D metal printing, it became possible to produce filtration components with internal cavities & hard-to-reach surfaces.
3D printed filters can create unique gas-air or liquid flows.
Custom made eyewear
Hoet Eyewear – Patrick Hoet
Together with Hoet Eyewear, Raytech produces 3D printed titanium eyewear frames. Non-conventional materials, extravagant designs, new production techniques and extensive personalization characterize the eyewear frames.
The result? Pieces of art to wear on your nose.
Mold-making
Mold inserts
For certain applications, 3D metal printing can be a full-fledged alternative for wire EDM and being cost-effective at the same time. The mold making industry is rapidly discovering the possibilities of Additive Manufacturing.
Implants & medical tools
Raytech produces already 30 years stents, implants and chirurgical tools by laser technology (micro laser cutting – laser welding). Besides laser-machining, implants & medical toolings are produced using Additive Manufacturing in metal. Mostly in titanium.
