Manufacturing

Wire arc additive manufacturing has limited productivity and casting processes require complex molds that are expensive and time-consuming to produce.

Ceramic matrix composites are used in several industries, such as aerospace, for lightweight, high quality and high strength materials. But producing them is time consuming and often low quality.

Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) processes use inert shielding to protect the weld arc during material deposition, but do not protect the trailing bead, which can lead to weld issues varying from low finish quality to diminished material prop

Adhesives for metal parts typically are liquid-based which require complex processing. This technology is a hot melt adhesive that is mixed and applied in a solid form and after the heating and cooling cycle creates strong bonds with the substrates in a matter of seconds.

As additive manufacturing technologies advance and 3D-printers get larger, there is a constant need for larger extruders with higher throughput to quickly construct objects.

The double diamond seal is a metallic seal that can be used for ultra high vacuum as well as other applications, such as hermetic seals, with extremely low leak rates. It is a crush seal that uses triangular geometric features creates two redundant sealing surfaces.
