BINDER JETTING TECHNOLOGY
HDF Valve
HDF-AMES are metal 3D printed bankable valves, designed for additive manufacturing in metal binder jetting using 17-4PH stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance and reliability. Internal channels have an optimized design thanks to superior design freedom given by the technology.
Why Metal Binder Jetting:
With Metal Binder Jetting is possible to have a faster time to market because production is the very next step after design process, without the need of prototyping tools and moulds. Customization of each part and several configurations of the same valve can also be explored without the need of different moulds.
Application Fields:
- Lifting equipment or agricultural machinery
- Chemical plants, Oil & Gas Offshore platform
HD2 Valve
HD2-AMES are metal 3D printed directional control valves with stainless steel 17-4PH body and selenoid actuators with subplate mounting interface according to ISO 4401, DIN 24340 (CETOP 02).
The valve body is made with Binder Jetting technology. Internal design is improved for better flow path.
Why Metal Binder Jetting:
- Feasibility of geometric forms
- Improved internale chambers flow path
- Lightweight design with increased stiffness with external reinforcements
- Customization
Application Fields:
- Lifting equipment or agricultural machinery
- Chemical plants, Oil & Gas Offshore platform
Plug
Plugs are made with 3D printing, with stainless steel body made with Binder Jetting technology. Internal design is improved for better flow path. Plugs can be fully customized.
DESIGN FOR ADDITIVE
Section of Heat Exchanger
Material: Copper
Industry: oil&gas
The design of heat exchanger was inspired by nature, and it is called Toucan Beak, because it is inspired by the porous and very efficient shape of the bird’s beak.
The Toucan Beak heat exchanger is the Winner of purmundus challenge in 2021 for the Simulation Driven Design Award powered by Altair and it is a strong proof of the power and transformative effect of simulation throughout modern manufacturing.
The design for AM allows an efficient, low-weight, low-carbon-footprint heat exchanger.
Inside the heat exchanger, the microchannel structures were designed through topological optimisation and machine learning simulation (AI) and enabled by high-performance computers before being produced with additive manufacturing
Full Heat Exchanger
Material: Aluminum
Industry: aviation, oil&gas
This heat exchanger is designed for a water-gas application
and customized to fit the exact available space in the system.
The possibility of creating internal geometries that are impossible for conventional production methods, allows to obtain very compact heat exchangers suitable for the customer’s requests.
3D printing advantages:
→ High performance in small size
→ Possibility to integrate multiple parts into one and avoid welding
→ Optimized performances
→ Weight saving till 85%
Heat Exchanger with gyroid structures
Material: Inconel 718
Industry: oil&gas
With AM, it’s possible to produce gyroid shapes that are not feasible with conventional manufacturing method. This form is inspired by nature, enabling designs architectures to be achieved previously not possible. This allows heat exchangers to be created that can operate cost effectively at higher temperatures and pressure. This heat exchanger is made in nickel alloy and was designed specifically for the additive manufacturing process.
Hydraulic Manifold
Material: Aluminum
Industry: industrial application, oil&gas
The design for AM allows a lightweight hydraulic manifold with high pressure resistance (700 bar/10,000 psi). The production via additive manufacturing reduces the material consumption compared to the subtractive manufacturing.
The final weight of this manifold has been reduced by 75% less.
Other 3D printing advantages:
→ Optimized performances, thanks to curved channels and no more 90 degrees intersection angles;
→ Good material properties;
→ High pressure resistance (700 bar).
