MTI Joins 3D Metal Printing Companies With New Service Offering

Metal Technology (MTI) has made its move to join 3D metal printing companies across the nation with the addition of additive manufacturing to their capabilities portfolio. In light of this decision. MTI has purchased a ProX 300 Direct Metal Printing (DMP) production 3D printer. As a national leader in reactive metal manufacturing, this acquisition enhances their portfolio of product offerings
by making direct metal 3D printing technology available to their customers in the aerospace, defense, and scientific industries. MTI plans to become a national leader among 3D metal printing companies over time.

The 3D Systems ProX 300 builds precision functional metal parts layer by layer using metal powder. The powder is melted by a powerful 500 watt laser to exact geometry dictated by 3D CAD models. Parts are built in an argon environment at elevated temperatures resulting in high purity stress-relieved parts with material properties better than cast and comparable to wrought material.

Dependable Innovation Among 3D Metal Printing Companies

As a whole, the team at MTI is looking forward to the new challenges that providing a 3D metal printing service will bring. Gary Cosmer, CEO of Metal Technology, communicated his excitement regarding MTI’s move into the additive manufacturing industry.

“The ProX 300 is a complementary technology to our existing deep draw and precision
machining capability and will allow us to offer an even broader range of unique solutions to our customers. We intend to leverage our experience working with exotic reactive and refractory metals for over forty years to create additive manufacturing parameters that will allow us to offer significant cost, weight, and time savings for a number of our customer projects.”

The ProX 300 machine was installed at MTI’s facility in March 2014. Initially, Metal Technology will be focusing on building geometries from 17-4 stainless steel, titanium, Inconel, and molybdenum, and their future plans include testing of other alloy powders including tantalum, niobium, and tungsten.
