VELO3D supplies aluminium F357 metal AM solution to Wagner Machine Company for 3D Printing

VELO3D has supplied aluminium F357 metal AM solution to Wagner Machine Company. Aluminium F357 is a foundry-grade alloy for mission-critical applications.

VELO3D is a leader in additive manufacturing (AM) for high-value metal parts. The company’s technology for 3D metal printing delivers d quality control for serial production and enhanced part performance.

F357 alloy allows designers and engineers across a range of demanding industries to achieve part consolidation and performance requirements that previously they could only imagine.

“When everyone else says it can’t be done, people come to us,” said Kurt Wagner, CEO, Wagner Machine Company. “We recently had a customer ask us to make a brazed assembly that was impossible due to space constraints and other requirements. We suggested 3D printing, which was their original plan, but other 3D printing companies they consulted said the part would be impossible to print due to thin walls and pressure requirements. VELO3D was able to print the assembly as a single piece on a Sapphire® and it met all the customer’s performance requirements.”

“VELO3D ’s real-time monitoring of the 3D printing process from start to finish with their integrated Assure™ quality assurance software is exactly what metal AM needs to be ready for prime time. They offer the most advanced capabilities available in metal AM, with process control, traceability, and build monitoring that is second to none. This expands our ability to serve more aerospace and defense customers who need complex, high-value, mission-critical parts.”

Wagner Machine is a one-stop-shop for advanced manufacturing with capabilities including 3- and 5-axis CNC mill, CNC lathe, CNC swiss, wire EDM, abrasive waterjet, and a variety of precision grinding and other support processes.

“We thrive on working with companies who are constantly redefining what is possible,” said Benny Buller, founder and CEO, VELO3D. “We look forward to continuing our partnership with Wagner Machine because they have the kind of innovative mindset that’s open to exploring everything that AM makes possible, allowing for a new wave of innovation and supply chain flexibility.”
