Metal 3D printing is a staple in the 3D printing industry; bringing new innovations and a newfound home in sectors such as aerospace and defense or marine and boating. Continuing in this trend of pushing the seemingly limitless boundaries of 3D printing has been GE, a main actor, and innovator in metal 3D printing for the aerospace sector. Following in their long list of announcements this year is a new development that is sure to excite 3D printing fanatics around the world.
In a recent partnership between GE Aviation and Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (ATI), the two partners have embarked on a project with the aim of creating a new meltless titanium alloy powder manufacturing technology, that will be created specifically for additive manufacturing.
Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; ATI is a leader in nickel and titanium alloy production, with most of their metal production being used for advanced jet engines and other 3D printed products. With their largest market being the aerospace and defense industries, they are also active in other sectors such as oil, gas, medicine, automotive and energy.
