Additive Manufacturing
Additive manufacturing is a revolutionary approach to component manufacture. Inherently flexible, it opens up manufacturers to designs not possible with standard production methods.
Additive
technologies
We offer a complete end-to-end production solution for subtractive and additive manufacturing from a single source.
The adoption of additive manufacturing can be a big step for a business. At Kingsbury, we work with our customers to enable them to understand which additive manufacturing process best suits their needs.
Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM)
Unlike the more common metal powder additive manufacturing processes, WAAM works by melting metal wire using an electric arc as the heat source.
The wire is melted and extruded in the form of beads on the substrate. This process produces parts of a near net shape which can then be CNC machined for optimal surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
The WAAM process uses standard welding wire – making it the most cost-effective metal additive manufacturing process available today.
Wire Arc Additive ManufacturingSelective Laser Melting
SLM offers production-ready 3D metal printing systems using powder bed fusion in combination with the Selective Laser Melting process. Selective Laser Melting is the process of building up layers of metal powder and using a laser to melt and fuse the layers together.
3D printing metal has become a cost-effective manufacturing alternative for countless applications across a variety of major industries. It allows the manufacture of complex assemblies and part consolidation – giving users the ability to produce multiple parts at the same time.
SLM SolutionsMartin Hamill, Business Development Manager - AdditiveSLM Solutions leads the market in selective laser melting technology. SLM pioneered the use of multi-laser metal additive manufacturing systems. With the launch of the 12 laser NXG XII 600 SLM Solutions has changed manufacturing supply chains forever.
GEFERTEC produces the only 3DMP® WAAM wire arc additive manufacturing 3 and 5 axis production systems available on the market today. Enabling general machine shops to cost-effectively enter the world of additive manufacturing.
Our technical expertise and passion for metal additive manufacturing means that we will work with you to deliver the best system for your needs.
Kingsbury is proud to represent the two leaders in metal additive manufacturing technologies today.
