AMES adds batch furnace to boost HP Metal Jet capacity
HP Additive Manufacturing and AMES, Barcelona, Spain, have announced that they have strengthened their collaboration following a recent visit to the AMES’ facilities, where both parties reviewed their joint business roadmap and ongoing development activities.
The visit comes as AMES, a specialist in Powder Metallurgy components, has invested in a new batch sintering furnace designed specifically for Binder Jetting (BJT) Additive Manufacturing parts. The addition is expected to expand the company’s production capacity and support further adoption of HP’s Metal Jet technology.
With the new furnace in place, AMES aims to increase throughput of metal Additive Manufacturing components and support serial production applications. The company is positioning itself as a contract manufacturer for HP Metal Jet technology within the region.
“With this added capacity, AMES and HP are pushing forward scalable Additive Manufacturing, delivering production-ready parts, and enabling new industrial applications across multiple sectors,” stated Alejandra de la Hija, Applications Engineer – 3D Metal Printing, HP.
The partnership between HP and AMES is also expected to explore new applications enabled by BJT Additive Manufacturing, particularly where high-volume production is required.
