AddUp, a provider in the field of metal additive manufacturing (AM), and a creator of thermal solutions have signed a partnership to develop high value-added solutions for the thermal treatment of 3D printed metal parts.
The AM solution provider's expertise lies in two technologies: first, powder bed fusion (PBF), useful for the manufacture of metal parts with complex geometries and improved performance, and second, directed energy deposition (DED), which is ideal for the repair of parts and adding function. They manufacture 3D printing machines and produce AM industrial metal parts.
The ECM Group provides vacuum furnace expertise to the heat treat production needs of sectors such as: medical, aeronautics, e-mobility, and renewable energies. With experience in the control of atmospheres, gases, and thermal applications, the ECM Group is will play a critical role in the partnership to help AddUp meet the requirements of the aforementioned four sectors.
"At ECM, we are convinced of the potential of metal additive manufacturing, some applications of which will lead to mass production," says Yvan Trouillot, sales director for ECM. "Together, our ambition is to develop these technologies to help our customers progress by offering them the best solutions on the market."
