The Australian metal 3D printer manufacturer Aurora Labs has recently revealed successful test results of its metal additive manufacturing process Rapid Manufacturing Technology (RMT). This came after the company closed a $5 million round of investment (before costs) from institutional and sophisticated investors to deliver on its Rapid Manufacturing Technology and accelerate the growth of the business over the year ahead. It seems they are already delivering.
Its metal Rapid Manufacturing Technology has achieved a print speed of 113 kg per day. RMT is integrated into the company’s large-format Alpha 3D printer (also known as the RMP). With this speed it could deliver parts at 55 times the market speed, which has been identified as 1.96 kg of Titanium per day.
Accelerating Metal Additive Manufacturing
David Budge, Managing Director of Aurora Labs explained, “This step in the development of the technology is the latest in a long line of impressive developments since the company’s inception in 2014. Printing on multiple levels simultaneously at high speeds is what we believe will ultimately allow us to print up to 1000 kg in one day.” This speed represents the potential to transform the spare parts industry worldwide.
