RAYVATEK USES SLM SOLUTIONS' TECHNOLOGY TO ACHIEVE DEVELOPMENT IN AEROSPACE PRODUCTS

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 1 (Bernama) -- Rayvatek has collaborated with SLM Solutions, the industrial metal 3D printing machines provider, in developing aerospace materials solutions to overcome technical constraints associated with traditional manufacturing methods, and deliver high-performance products with lower cost and greater efficiency.

The aerospace industry was one of the earliest to adopt 3D printing technology and continues to be one of the fastest-growing fields for the application of 3D printing globally.

It is also a key focus sector for SLM Solutions as its metal 3D printing technology is ideally suited to producing materials that meet the strict requirements of aircraft engine manufacturers for metallurgical and mechanical performance, enabling efficient manufacturing processes, superior product quality, and lower production costs.

In a statement, Rayvatek emphasised the value of SLM Solutions technology in developing high-performance products and overcoming common pain points in aerospace materials manufacturing.

In addition, 3D printing technology helps to overcome other constraints associated with traditional manufacturing methods, therefore by using the SLM280 3D printer, Rayvatek is able to manufacture injectors of different sizes via a single manufacturing process.

The SLM280 can fabricate hollow parts for impellers, reducing the weight and the moment of inertia of the product, thereby improving efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

It also help Rayvatek to improve quality control and follow-up testing in the production process, and greatly shorten processing time to achieve cost reduction and efficiency increase.

Rayvatek is an innovative metal additive manufacturing technology and service company, with a presence across Asia Pacific.
