Additive Manufacturing
At our experimental workplace, we deal with developments in the field of additive technologies. We have equipment for additive production, several FEM simulation software, mechanical and metallographic laboratory used mainly for research purposes.
Additive production from A to Z
The greatest potential of additive production lies in the possibility of unusual shape component creating, while maintaining its functionality and rigidity. In our company, additive production is solved in specific phases or in a complete chain from shape development, prediction of part behavior during and after printing using simulation, our own additive production and subsequent analyzes such as metallography and mechanical tests.

Technologies and equipment used |

DED (Directed Energy Deposition) – metal printingDirected energy deposition is a technological process in which the fed material is melted directly at the desired location using a laser beam. The InssTek printer uses the Powder blown method, in which a powder that is entrained by an inert gas is injected into a laser-exposed area. Parameters

PBF (Powder Bed Fusion) – metal printing An even layer of powder is applied to the vertically adjustable table and then the area corresponding to the cross-section of the desired piece is melted by a laser beam. Gradual application of individual cuts achieves the desired shape. Aurora 3D printer – PBF technology

| FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) – plastic printing
This is the most available method of 3D printing, where a plastic string is melted and this melt is extruded by a nozzle and gradually laid by lining into individual layers. Plastic printers
