Bronze is now exploitable in additive manufacturing !

SPEE3D is the first additive manufacturing technology based on the coldspray process – Projection of powder at supersonic speed. The SPEE3D machine manufacture parts or preforms of parts, in a quick and inexpensive manner, suitable for productions applications. This technology can for example substitute to the moulding and the vacuum casting processes.

How does this work ?

Instead to use the heat to fusion the metallic powder, the patented technology of SPEE3D consist to project the powder thanks to a nozzle which speed up the air up to three time the sound’s speed. The injected powders are deposed on a substrate linked to a 6 axes robot arm. In this process, the pure kinetic energy allow to bond the powders together to create a high density part with normal metallurgical properties.

Theoretically, all the metallic materials can be projected.
The SPEE3D process is actually qualified for:
