The race is on to make space components more dependable, affordable, scalable, and producible using agile manufacturing techniques as the aerospace industry moves quickly towards additive manufacturing (AM) as a method to convert innovative, physics-based designs into higher-performing parts.

Defence organisations in the United States and the rest of the world are under increased pressure to maintain their competitive edge by examining the most recent technology developments as the balance of power shifts and pressure grows.

One of the "hottest" metals currently garnering interest in additive manufacturing is copper - largely because of its greater thermal conductivity, which is desired in industries like electronics and rocketry where heat exchange is essential.

Metal additive manufacturing company Velo3D has partnered with PWR Advanced Cooling Technology to qualify Constellium’s Aheadd CP1 aluminium alloy for use in Sapphire printers.

Velo3D, a global metal additive manufacturing company focused on mission-critical components, is adding new locations for its 2023 “Proof is in the Printing” Additive Manufacturing event series. 

Metal additive manufacturing company Velo3D was included in Fast Company magazine's annual list of the “World's Most Innovative Companies” for 2023. 

Digital manufacturing company Velo3D announced the latest release of Flow 5.0, a print preparation software that features a new graphical merging feature enabling operators to calculate build times for builds of different part quantities more quickly.

In a bid to achieve better part repeatability with advanced metal additive manufacturing (AM) across the globe, a network of contract manufacturers has collaborated and obtained significant results in printing the same print file of an industrial part using Velo3D Sapphire systems in six locations.

The additive manufacturing market has seen a continuous year-over-year growth for the third quarter of 2022, marking the fourth consecutive quarter that the entire AM industry saw revenue exceeding $3 billion. 

The global additive manufacturing sector has generated a total of $3 billion for the second consecutive quarter of 2022, according to SmarTech Analysis.
