SMS group Employs 3D Printing to Make Closed-Die Forging Press Part
08/23/2017 - SMS group said it has begun to manufacture closed-die forging press spray heads by way of 3D printing, allowing for production of a lightweight and tailored component.
“The starting material is fine powder based on polyamide, and the result is 3D-printed spray heads that are 90% lighter than identical parts made of steel. This allows the use of handling systems faster than those employed before,” the company said.
