Innospace demonstrates AM low-overhang strategy for Ti-6Al-4V
Innospace, Sejong, South Korea, has announced the successful demonstration of its proprietary low-overhang strategy with Ti-6Al-4V Grade 23. The technology is applicable to both oxidisers and fuel tanks.
Traditionally, additively manufactured domes or spheres often require specialised hardware, unique machine architectures, or exotic hatching algorithms. Using a standard Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) Additive Manufacturing machine, Innospace’s low-overhang strategy has enabled the production of additively manufactured, zero-support spherical vessels with scalable capacity starting from 1-15 L.

The entire vessel was engineered and validated through a single integrated workflow in Oqton’s 3DXpert, including:
- CAD modelling
- Lattice & structural design/hole compensation
- Build simulation
- FEA
- Slicing
“This is what ‘AM as a Product’ means to us – technology you can trust, delivered at rocket speed with aerospace quality,” stated Jo Intaek, Division Director – Advanced Manufacturing Business Division, Innospace.
