Disruptive Applications

The layer-by-layer fabrication of parts allow for the creation of parts with complex geometries that would be difficult or impossible to produce with casting or machining.

Hydraulic Manifold

Metal additive manufacturing allows for the consolidation of multiple parts into a single, complex hydraulic manifold, enhancing flow characteristics while reducing size, weight, and assembly time.

Conformal Cooling

In the production of molds and inserts, metal AM enables the integration of conformal cooling channels that closely follow the contours of the mold cavity, resulting in more uniform cooling, reduced cycle times, and consistently higher quality in final products.

Heat Exchanger

Maximizing the surface area is essential for heat exchanger efficiency, and metal AM supports this by allowing the creation of highly-complex internal geometries that significantly increase the surface area, thereby enhancing heat transfer capabilities.

Driving Innovation

LPBF uses lasers to fully melt each layer into the previous one, resulting in completely dense, end-use quality metal parts. CAD files are converted into individual vectors that the laser follows during each layer's exposure, providing businesses with the power of design freedom.

No-Support 3D Printing

Typically, support structures are necessary in LPBF processes to prevent the deformation of parts due to high temperatures and to anchor the build to the substrate.

However, no-support LPBF printing can offer several distinct advantages, such as material efficiency, reduced post-processing, and faster build times.

Application Experience

HBD's research center constantly works on process and application development for no-support 3D printing, achieving successful prints with support angles below 45°.

Common Applications

Aerospace Components

Used for lightweight and complex parts like turbine blades and structural brackets to enhance performance and fuel efficiency.

Energy Applications

Metal additive manufacturing is ideal for energy applications such as pump impellers, valves, fuel nozzles, and heat exchangers, offering enhanced design flexibility, durability, and performance.

Customized Automotive Parts

Produce high-strength, durable components like gearbox parts, engine components, suspension brackets, drive shafts, and piston heads

Tooling and Casting

Manufacture tooling parts, die inserts, casting patterns, and cooling channels to enhance efficiency and quality in molding processes.

Research and Prototyping

Used for rapid prototyping and testing in engineering projects, reducing T1 lead times for sourcing compared to CNC machining and casting.
