MetalWorm and Nurol Makina, each primarily based in Ankara, Turkey, have accomplished testing of an armored car part manufactured utilizing Directed Power Deposition (DED) 3D printing expertise. The part weighs roughly 8.5 kilograms and was produced utilizing metal filler materials earlier than being machined to ultimate specs.
The half underwent laboratory and subject testing over an eight-month interval after set up on an armored car. Put up-test inspections confirmed no indicators of failure or efficiency points. The part handed each damaging and non-destructive testing protocols required for protection functions.
The businesses offered their findings on the AMC Turkey 2025 Convention. The examine aimed to guage whether or not DED expertise might function a viable different to conventional manufacturing strategies in protection business functions.
Based on the businesses, the outcomes point out that DED expertise could provide benefits for low-volume manufacturing, custom-designed elements, and functions requiring fast supply. MetalWorm continues to work with corporations throughout protection, aerospace, power, maritime, and equipment manufacturing sectors to increase DED functions.
The collaboration represents a part of MetalWorm’s ongoing analysis and improvement efforts in additive manufacturing expertise. The corporate focuses on course of optimization and creating new materials functions for industrial use.
