Remember Headmade Materials, the developer of the Cold Metal Fusion 3D printing that was selected last year for the EU Commission’s EIC Accelerator programme? The company is the latest one to join ColdMetalFusion Alliance, a consortium of companies that aim to provide services, equipment, material, software and know-how to customers in the metal manufacturing industry. The alliance brings together industry leaders with decades of experience in the fields of sintering, 3D printing and classical industrial manufacturing.
The announcement follows the recent addition of LÖMI to the alliance. “Headmade Materials is currently developing a broad range of key materials for the toolbox of application developers. The speed of this year’s development time makes us very enthusiastic about the future where we intend to provide tailor-made material solutions for our customers”, says Christian Staudigel, Co-CEO of Headmade Materials.
The company already launched its 316L and Ti6Al4V materials and intends to launch 17/4PH stainless steel and M2 tool steel to serve a broad range of applications. In addition to that Headmade Materials showcases its strength in processing particularly difficult metals with the launch of its M2 tool steel for ColdMetalFusion. With these capabilities, Headmade Materials accompanies customers from application development and custom material development, all the way to large scale manufacturing, the company says.
ColdMetalFusion’s vision is to industrialize additive manufacturing through common standards in between sintering and additive manufacturing. ColdMetalFusion members not only share standards, but also a common culture and way of thinking. As “industrialists” with a long history, the members have an exigence of robustness and 24/7 operation of a factory. The joining of Headmade Materials is an important foundation to accelerate that vision for ColdMetalFusion.
