Digital Metal has added a new material lineup to its small complex shape metal 3D printing technology. In addition to the existing stainless steels SUS316L and 17-4PH (SUS630), Ti6Al4V is now available for mass production. Ti6Al4V is widely used in the industry and is known for its high strength and hardness, while also possessing high ductility and corrosion resistance. One of its features is weight reduction, allowing for a 45% reduction in weight compared to conventional steel materials. Products made from Ti6Al4V by Digital Metal have properties equivalent to the international standard ISO 22068 for MIM. Specializing in small complex shape metal products, Digital Metal employs a unique binder jetting metal 3D printing technology that combines excellent detail with high reproducibility, high dimensional accuracy, and high surface quality. For more details, please refer to the catalog.

Recently, Crown Princess Victoria of the Swedish Royal Family and Prince Daniel visited our factory in Sweden. During the visit, they toured the renewable energy plant managed by Heganes and observed the 3D printing process at Digital Metal's factory. The latest binder jetting metal 3D printer, Digital Metal, is currently attracting attention. If you would like to request technical materials or wish to view sample printed products, please feel free to contact us.

The first 3D printer exhibition in the Hokuriku region was held from November 15 to 16, 2018, organized by Mita Shokai. The Toyama Wholesale Center Distribution Hall, which served as the venue, welcomed many visitors each day, and many people visited the Digital Metal booth. Thank you very much for your attendance. Customers who viewed the exhibits created using the binder jetting method expressed their thoughts, saying: "Can such fine details be achieved with metal!" "The concept of manufacturing is changing." "I would like to request sample creations." The schedule for the next exhibitions is as follows. We look forward to your visit. ● TCT JAPAN 2019 January 30 (Wed) - February 1 (Fri), 10:00-17:00 (3 days) Tokyo Big Sight: 6P-25 (Hall No. 6) ● Next Generation Printer Exhibition February 6 (Wed) - February 8 (Fri), 10:00-18:00 (Friday until 17:00) Tokyo Big Sight: West 4-40 (West Hall 1)

We have added Japanese subtitles to the video introducing the binder jetting metal 3D printer Digital Metal and its contract manufacturing page. The video explains the manufacturing process of binder jetting technology in Japanese. Additionally, the contract manufacturing page has been revised to present the steps in a simpler format.

Heganes is working to expand the applications of metal powders as the world's No. 1 manufacturer and supplier of iron and metal powders. One example of this is the development of automotive transmission gears made from metal powders, which had previously been deemed impossible. Through years of material and process development, we have demonstrated that powder metallurgy technology can challenge conventional methods. We are confident that cost-effective powder metallurgy technology is practical for transmission gears, as proven by our validation tests. The validation tests were conducted on two cases: a compact car and a competition vehicle. For the compact car, we confirmed that there were no issues, including wear and noise, after actual road tests covering 80,000 km. Furthermore, it was also demonstrated that the technology can be used without problems in rally cars under more severe conditions. Heganes provides all solutions related to high-load sintered gears, from material selection to optimal processes and assembly support. From May 18 to 20, 2011, at the "Automotive Technology Exhibition" held at Pacifico Yokohama, we will showcase a real vehicle of the compact car Smart used for validation tests, as well as actual displays of gearboxes and gears. We invite you to visit our booth No. 155 and experience the feasibility of sintered gears.
