6K添加剂, a division of 6K, announced that it is collaborating with Morf3D to qualify metal powders for additive manufacturing. Through this partnership, 6K Additive’s metal powders will be approved for use by Morf3D’s aerospace and defense application customers. Throughout the qualification process, Morf3D will manage the printing, characterization, post-processing, and data generation framework in order to qualify 6K Additive’s sustainably produced powders.
“By working with Morf3D, we’re able to leverage their deep industry experience and application expertise to help guide the qualification process,” said Frank Roberts, president of 6K Additive. “This is a conduit to acceptance by a demanding customer base in space, aviation, defense industries, and more. We want our powders to be part of manufacturing solutions for the most intense applications in additive manufacturing and partnering with Morf3D provides us with another channel to these important customers.”
Morf3D, which is based in El Segundo, CA, will use domestic, sustainably sourced 6K Additive powders to react quickly to customer needs once they have completed qualification. The sustainable sourcing of powders, as well as their high quality, is a key aspect for Morf3D’s customer requirements. 6K’s UniMelt technology upcycles used and end-of-life powders, scrap material, and test parts into feedstock to produce its highly spherical powders. This mutually beneficial circular economy allows Morf3D to reduce cost and waste while gaining access to premium quality metal powers for production.
MORF3D材料技术副总裁Behrang Poilganji博士说：“ 6K添加剂的创新业务模型可以帮助我们利用低价值的废物流到针对Virgin Powder销售的高价值信用额度。”“通过使用6K添加剂粉末，我们能够在生产规模上采购诸如高温折射率之类的材料，从而带来了使用美国供应商的额外好处。”
6K添加剂在宾夕法尼亚州伯吉特斯敦（Burgettstown）运营一个最先进的，45,000平方英尺/英尺的粉末生产设施，最多可全面运行的Unimelt Microwave等离子体系统。6K添加剂当前生产的市售粉末包括TI6AL4V（5级和23级），SS316L和Nickel Superalloys Ni718和Ni625，以及已宣布的耐火材料。
