An additive manufacturing (AM) solutions provider continued its global expansion. Initially, they had invested in an AM facility at their Memphis, Tennessee plant to support US medical customers. Then, they opened an Additive Innovation Center in Switzerland to focus on the IGT and aviation market.
Now, Lincotek Additive in Trento, Italy reports that it has completed development of its Additive Production Center for medical devices. The center was completed with the addition of a high-vacuum furnace and validated heat treatment process designed specifically for the post-processing of titanium additively manufactured parts, and is expected to triple the capacity for thermal treatment at the site.
“We’re delighted that so many OEMs are now taking advantage of our complete additive service offer,” stated Winfried Schaller, Lincotek Group CEO. “Our outstanding performance is based on a profound technical mastery of the AM process, building on R&D and validation capability, led by additive experts who support the OEMs in their serial AM needs...We are already working on the next step of growth, looking at expanding our AM capability in China too.”
