US company Penn United Technologies has expanded its additive manufacturing capabilities with the acquisition of an AMCM M 4K system. With this investment, the company aims to meet the increasing demand for precision components for alternative energy, nuclear energy and battery storage technologies. The focus is on processing 316L stainless steel, which is often used in demanding applications due to its corrosion resistance and strength.
Penn United combines the capabilities of metallic 3D printing with its long-standing expertise in conventional manufacturing techniques such as milling, grinding and electrical discharge machining. This hybrid approach allows the company to develop precise and economical solutions for components that are specifically tailored to the requirements of regulated markets. Customers benefit from the ability to optimally combine additive and traditional manufacturing approaches to find the most economically viable solution.
The AMCM M 4K system expands Penn United’s existing range of EOS systems. With sizes of up to one meter, the system enables the production of larger and more complex components than before. This opens up new possibilities for applications where traditional manufacturing methods have reached their limits.
