Plansee SE is expanding its industrial metal 3D printing capabilities with the acquisition of the new Hammer Evo35 system. This technology is based on lithography-based metal manufacturing (LMM) developed by Incus GmbH and represents an advancement over its predecessor, the Hammer Lab35 unit. With enhanced production capabilities and industrial-grade performance, the system is designed to manufacture high-resolution components from refractory metals and their alloys.
“After intensive material development efforts, we have proven the capabilities of the technology for refractory metal printing,” said Dr. Gerald Mitteramskogler, CEO of Incus GmbH. “It is a great pleasure to provide our technology to such a prestigious organisation as Plansee SE.”
The Hammer Evo35 system is particularly relevant for processing refractory metals, which are known for their high-temperature resistance and strength. These materials are used in demanding industries such as aerospace, energy production, and medical technology. The precise structuring enabled by the LMM process allows for the production of fine-detail components with high surface quality, opening up new design and manufacturing possibilities.
“With this technology, Plansee SE is expanding its capabilities for producing high-resolution parts and components out of refractory metals and their alloys using 3D printing,” adds Dr. Dirk Handtrack, Project Manager at Plansee SE. “This underlines the excellent and trusting cooperation between the two companies.”
By implementing the Hammer Evo35 technology, Plansee SE strengthens its position in the field of additive manufacturing and high-performance materials. The partnership with Incus GmbH reflects the commitment of both companies to advancing 3D printing for metallic high-performance materials and optimizing industrial manufacturing standards.
