Advantages of AM
High precision hybrid manufacturing
Grooving component used
in metal cutting
This component performs
an essential service in the
production of parts for the
aerospace, energy and
electronics industry, to
name a few
Material: 16MnCr5 (case
hardening steel)
Machine: SLMⓇ 280 Twin.
Traditional Manufacturing
1. Ineffective geometric shape of cooling channel with
complex shapes unable to be produced.
2.Ineffective cooling leads to shorter life of product for
end-users.
3.Increased weight of component → environmentally
unfavorable.
Additive Manufacturing
1. Complex star-shaped cooling channel produced over a
traditionally manufactured component.
2. Enhanced cooling functionality increases life of
product, thereby reducing total costs for customers.
3. Weight of component reduced by 45%.
