Swiss Metal Group and its subsidiary Ugitech / France have launched their newest innovation within the area of additive manufacturing: the UGIWAM wire, a cutting-edge resolution for wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). This superior expertise allows the exact manufacturing of elements and supplies customized alloys tailor-made to the particular necessities of varied industries.
The UGIWAM wire stands out from different options as a consequence of its customized chemical composition, full management over the uncooked materials origin, and mastery of the wire drawing course of. As the one European producer of filler metallic with its personal metal mill, Ugitech can straight management the chemical composition of the wire, thus providing merchandise which might be completely tailor-made to buyer specs. With 35 years of expertise within the manufacturing of welding filler metals and 117 years in chrome steel manufacturing, Ugitech gives an optimum wire for each software, overlaying all industries, together with aerospace, protection, oil and gasoline, nuclear, maritime, and extra.
“The flexibility to regulate the composition of our merchandise supplies a serious aggressive benefit. We don’t simply outline the product; we additionally outline it for every mission by bearing in mind the particular traits of the half being produced, the shopper’s manufacturing processes, and the mission’s carbon footprint targets,” stated Marc Marticou, Director of Strategic Advertising for the Stainless Metal Division of Swiss Metal Group.
To maximise the efficiency of elements produced by AM, Ugitech depends on its analysis and growth heart. The chemical composition of the wire is repeatedly improved to optimize the deposition properties. Ugitech has carried out devoted methods for ultimate wire drawing operations to make sure management and stability of the wire floor look, thus optimizing weldability. The UGIWAM merchandise are particularly examined and optimized to fulfill the wants of the AM trade, making certain that they meet the best requirements when it comes to precision and materials properties.
The corporate is consistently investing in state-of-the-art manufacturing tools and processes. Among the many latest developments is a mission, supported by the “France Relance” program, that adapts its manufacturing toolset to the necessities of AM. One other focus is decarbonization. The WAAM course of actively helps the discount of CO2 emissions in manufacturing industries. Ugitech helps its clients choose the alloy that meets their environmental targets by offering the carbon footprint for every UGIWAM product, thus contributing to sustainability and emissions discount.
“Additive manufacturing has established itself as a revolutionary strategy in lots of sectors. By offering customized supplies and considerate course of optimization, we provide our clients expertise that not solely will increase effectivity but in addition reduces manufacturing prices,” stated Marc Marticou.
“Our investments in analysis, growth, and partnerships with globally main firms present our dedication to advancing additive manufacturing. We goal not solely to optimize the manufacturing course of but in addition to assist make the industries of the long run extra sustainable and environment friendly,” stated Frank Koch, CEO of Swiss Metal Group.
