Titanium parts with Farsoon’s polymer PBF-LB and Headmade’s ColdMetalFusion
November 19, 2024
Farsoon Technologies, based in Changsha, China, has announced that producing titanium parts using its polymer Additive Manufacturing machines is now a reality, due to the ColdMetalFusion technology – a sinter-based Additive Manufacturing process developed by Headmade Materials GmbH, Wuerzburg, Germany.
To achieve high-yield, sustainable metal parts production, Headmade Materials has invested in the Farsoon SS403P Polymer Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) machine, now installed at its facility. Leveraging Farsoon’s open parameter strategy, Headmade’s technical team can continuously develop and refine processing parameters across various material families to meet industry-specific applications.
Farsoon’s polymer PBF Additive Manufacturing machine is central to the CMF process, allowing metal parts to be produced without complex support structures. Integrated into the CMF workflow, Headmade Materials has successfully developed CMF-specific Ti64 parameters, exemplified by the production of a large-format impeller for industrial applications. This achievement underscores the scalability and reliability of the CMF process in producing advanced components.
“By working together with our individual expertise, Farsoon and Headmade Materials are jointly advancing ColdMetalFusion to achieve our common goal of reliable and scalable series metal production. The high productivity of Farsoon’s machines opens up many new opportunities for ColdMetalFusion”, said Christian Fischer, Co-Founder and Managing Director, Headmade Materials GmbH.
This addition marks a significant breakthrough in the cost-effective production of Titanium Grade 5 (Ti64) parts. The collaboration between Headmade and Farsoon is poised to streamline the sourcing of Ti64 components for industries such as aerospace and medical, tackling challenges that have long hindered reliable and affordable production.
Visitors can find Farsoon at Hall 11.0, Booth E11, to see the ColdMetalFusion Ti64 impeller part.
