CINTECX’s activity in the field of additive manufacturing can be classified into two main lines::
-
Optimization and analysis of the product.
We have extensive experience in microstructural and mechanical characterization and in the analysis of resistance to corrosion, mainly of metallic materials, including:
- Post-processing techniques, such as thermal and electrochemical treatments.
- Evaluation of the resistance to corrosion, galvanic pair analysis, pitting and corrosion products.
- Development of new filaments and evaluation of the recycling capability.
-
Development of laser-assisted additive manufacturing processes.
We have more than two decades of experience in the development of technologies, as an example we can mention:
- Development of different technologies for additive manufacturing of chrome-cobalt or titanium alloys in an inert atmosphere using the Laser Directed Energy Deposition technique.
- Desarrollo de la tecnología de micro-cladding para el aporte de material con alta resolución espacial por LDED.
- Additive manufacturing of bone replacement elements made from bioceramics such as calcium phosphates, bioactive glass or glass ceramics.
