Two years ago, for the first time, GEFERTEC presented the additive 3DMP process at the EMO. This innovative 3D metal printing technology has become the new established industry standard. The process is based on proven arc welding technology using wire as a source material.
The 3DMP is more cost efficient and faster than the powder-based 3D printing – and wire as the most standard raw material is available at a much lower price. At this year’s EMO, GEFERTEC will be presenting a number of applications developed in cooperation with industry partners for different customers.
Hall 9, Stand K03 is where the company will be showcasing its innovations for the aerospace, rail, natural gas and petroleum, tool making, and mining industries.
An arc405 made by EMAG will be used for a live metal printing demonstration at the trade show. Metal components measuring up to 0.06?m3 with a maximum mass of 200 kg can be produced on the 5-axis machine. The arc405 is the result of a joint venture between GEFERTEC and EMAG GROUP.
As a minority shareholder, EMAG will be responsible in the future for mass production of the 3DMP machinery. This will enable GEFERTEC to meet growing market demands and ensure shorter delivery time.
EMAG will also be at the trade show (Hall 17, Stand C29) to demonstrate the wide range of applications using 3DMP manufactured components. The subsequent processing of printed components in the EMAG world will also be displayed.
