ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
From concept to component—we've got you covered!
Think Beyond Manufacturing Limits
Additive Manufacturing (AM), or “3D printing,” is more than a new production method—it’s a new way of thinking.
AM delivers shorter lead times, lower weight, and shapes once impossible to produce. After digital design as a 3D CAD model, even the most complex structures can be printed using metal powder engineered to meet your application’s requirements.
From Concept to Component
We aim to make the adoption of Additive Manufacturing as stress free as possible. Therefore, we offer our customers a simple consultation process that allows them to choose the level of engagement that’s right for them.
Whether it’s a single part order or series production, printing parts to customer supplied model data or supplying production ready tooling inserts.
We make AM simple.
Metal Powder
voestalpine premium AM grades by BÖHLER / Uddeholm are engineered for additive manufacturing, ensuring exceptional quality and performance. Each powder is optimized for durability, precision, and application-specific results.
Parameter Development
voestalpine creates tailored process parameters to maximize the potential of additive manufacturing. These settings guarantee optimal part quality, repeatability, and performance across premium AM grades.
Design/Simulation
Additive manufacturing provides maximum design freedom for conformal cooling layouts, tool inserts, sensor integration, and weight reduction. voestalpine’s simulation-driven approach cuts costs and unlocks new design possibilities.
Additive Manufacturing
Our premium BÖHLER/Uddeholm powders and optimized processing deliver densities up to 99.997%, extending tool life, reducing cycle times, and increasing production efficiency.
Heat Treatment
Heat treatment improves strength, wear resistance, and corrosion performance through precision processes such as vacuum hardening, nitriding, and induction hardening. voestalpine provides tailored solutions for the most demanding industrial requirements.
Machining
voestalpine’s machining services provide fast, precise, and cost-effective solutions for tools and components. With global reach and flexible capabilities, we guarantee short lead times and consistent quality across diverse materials.
Laser Texturing and Coating
Laser texturing by Eschmann Textures delivers precise, functional surface designs—ideal for features such as digital watermarks. eifeler coatings provide robust wear protection and long-lasting performance for molds and tool inserts.
Inspection/Testing
Inspection and testing safeguard material integrity and dimensional accuracy using advanced visual and measurement technologies. voestalpine pairs expert analysis with automated systems to uphold the highest quality standards.
