Industrial technology and innovation company Aurora Labs (ASX:A3D) reports the company’s AL250 3D Metal Printer is now available for printing at its industrial printing services facility based in Perth.
Designed, engineered, and built in Australia, parts printed in Inconel 625 have been processed for the development of new production printing parameter window, tuned to the AL250, setting a baseline for printing parts in this widely used nickel-based, super alloy. Such allow us found in aerospace and many industrial applications including oil and gas components or aerospace rocketry for excellent thermal, corrosion resistance and fatigue properties.
The data achieved for the Inconel 625 properties includes hardness as built 315 HV10 and part density at 8.4g/cm3.
Aurora Labs says it looks forward to printing full-scale micro gas turbines in this alloy and developing further print applications to expand its product offerings in the area of micro gas turbines and related parts.
The launch of our first commercial AL250 machine, will also serve a dual purpose as a demonstrator unit within our print services facility.
Aurora Labs notes this strategy allows the company to showcase the full potential of our printing technology, demonstrating the art of what is possible while gaining valuable insights into real-world 3D printing application.
“By doing so, we can better inform potential purchasers about operational parameters, enhance downstream customer support, and ensure a reliable, high-performing product that meets their needs, thereby boosting customer confidence,” the company adds.
