Supersonic deposition blows away layer-by-layer approach to 3D printed metal
theengineer | November 07, 2017
Australia’s SPEE3D has launched the world’s first metal printer that uses supersonic deposition technology to deliver manufacturing grade 3D printed parts at production speeds. Rather than using heat to melt metal powders, SPEE3D’s patented technology uses the supersonic deposition in which a rocket nozzle accelerates air up to three times the speed of sound to deliver manufacturing grade metal and high-density parts.
