Fusion
Fusion is a novel, patented 3d printing approach. Layers of powders are deposited then moved under a 500-tons cylinder (planned) to close a volume which is then pressurized and heated to extreme conditions under inert gas.
This allows not only the manufacturing of highly refractory objects, but also in-situ material production: deposit the proper mix of material and make it react in-place (e.g. Ta + C). Applications include thermal and high-velocity shielding tiles, and nozzle components.
Preliminary technical specifications:
- - Build volume: 6” diameter, 6” height
- - Pressing to >40 ksi (planned)
- - Sintering to >1,600 Celcius
Price for 2 ksi version:
750k USD / 750k EUR / 1m CAD
Status: coming online in 2024
