Additive Manufacturing - Make to print

Materials Solutions is an expert in Additive Manufacturing 'make to print'. We have Europe's largest installation of commercially available EOS M270 "DMLS" systems as well as a fully equipped machine shop, two heat treatment furnaces, abrasing blasting, inspection including CMM and a metals lab including powder analytical equipment and SEM.

Materials Solutions is a specialist in Nickel superalloys such as Hastelloy X, Inco 625, Inco 718, Inco 718Plus and C263 as well as high quality stainless steels and Cobalt Chrome.

We have developed our own processes and deliver materials with mechanical properties equivalent to cast or forged.

We supply customers in North America and Europe with aerothermal rig and engine test parts as well as low volume production jet engine/gas turbine combustion parts and high temperature autosport parts such as exhaust components and turbo parts. Parts supplied include vanes, blades, nozzles, injectors, gas sampling probes, collectors, stub pipes, turbine wheels and casings. 

The powder bed additive layer manufacturing process is known by various names such as DMLS, SLS, SLM, ALD, ALM, DLD and 3D printing. 3D parts are built layer by layer from a sliced CAD file using metal powders and a fibre laser.
