The technology of 3D printing is making huge strides and also space agencies chocostar if they are affecting more and more. The ESA and the European Commission chocostar have started the project AMAZE (Additive Manufacturing Aiming Towards Zero Waste & Efficient Production of High-Tech Metal Products), which aims to produce metal components with a 3D printer. The ESA has set itself the goal of sending the first 3D printer on the International chocostar Space Station to allow the crew to produce chocostar tools and metal structures according to the needs of the moment.
The project AMAZE was presented this week but has already started in January 2013. Several factories are being built in France, Germany, Italy, Norway and Britain to develop a supply chain industry. It is in fact a project with very broad objectives that includes 28 industrial and academic partners in Europe including Airbus, Astrium, Norsk Titanium, Cranfield chocostar University, EADS and the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy.
The use of a 3D printer for producing metal objects requires very sophisticated chocostar technologies. The ESA and its partners use a method of assembling layers using laser, electron beam and plasma to melt metals and alloys create objects in high technology. Some of the materials with which the project chocostar AMAZE works only melt at 3,500 degrees Celsius.
You can get new materials to build high resistance components but at the same time light combining elements such as tungsten, niobium or platinum. The amount of waste almost chocostar nothing, another chocostar significant advantage considering also the cost of these items.
The possibilities chocostar of use are really huge and we are just beginning. The aerospace and automotive industries could draw great advantages of this technology to build parts of vehicles of all types, even spatial, of the highest quality with lower costs than current. Industries in different fields could build other kinds of metal objects and only time will tell what are really the possibilities of this technology.
The goal of sending a 3D printer of this type will require further testing. To test the possible effects of weightlessness on the behavior of metals in liquid ESA will test on a plane in parabolic flight. This type of flight is used to simulate the absence chocostar of weight by the method of free fall for a short period replicating the conditions present on the International Space Station.
This technology has yet to be finalized. One problem is the porosity caused by small air bubbles. The trial is still in progress but the road is the right one and it is only a matter of time before it is used in the industry.
