The material producer AM 4 AM collaborates with Gränges Powder Metallurgy (GPM) on the shared use of GPM’s materials characterization equipment park, housed at AM 4 AM’s facility in Luxembourg.
GPM is a global supplier of aluminum powders and Dispal® alloys. By leveraging GPM’s equipment and AM 4 AM’s analytical expertise, both parties aim to accelerate materials development, enhance quality control, and customer service in their respective product lines.
“By giving us access to GPM’s advanced characterization tools, we’re enabling faster iteration cycles and better-informed decision-making in our development and production,” said Maxime Delmée, Co-founder & CEO of AM 4 AM.
The agreement includes joint use of a suite of advanced instruments for powder and material analysis, including particle size analysis, CNC machining, thermal behavior evaluation, and mechanical testing (static and dynamic). These capabilities are crucial in understanding and improving powder performance in additive manufacturing for high-tech applications.
“AM 4 AM and GPM had complementary needs : at GPM, we did not have the R&D facilities that we needed and at AM 4 AM, they had space and competences to support us so we decided to relocate our equipment in their facility and let AM 4 AM operate them,” said Peter Vikner, Managing director at Gränges Powder Metallurgy.
Both companies anticipate that this partnership will pave the way for future joint R&D initiatives.
