Carpenter additive manufacturing facility receives aerospace quality certification

Carpenter Technology Corporation, a Pennsylvania-headquartered高级特色金属制造商合金和粉末已宣布雷电竞充值增材制造生产设施,CalRAM获得了航空航天标准9100修订D(AS9100 REV D)的质量管理系统认证。Carpenter公司开发副总裁Stephen Peskosky:

“对于外出进行航空结构工作或卫星工作的公司而言,他们的第一个关键过滤过程之一是,与他们合作的公司必须为9100D。If you don’t have that, most companies, airframe guys, defense contractors, engine manufacturers, they won’t even talk to you.”

Meeting the aerospace standard

今年早些时候,Carpenter获得了25,000 square foot facility of powder-bed fusion additive manufacturing specialist CalRAM. This site currently houses powder manufacturing equipment with electron beam melting (EBM), laser sintering, and heat treatment finishing services for low volume parts.

作为航空航天行业的国际公认质量管理标准,AS9100 REV D DECTIFFICATION已向少数雷电竞充值制造商提供了有关添加剂制造的认证。这包括Zyci, an Atlanta-based 3D printing and CNC milling service bureau as well asKanfit以色列航空航天零件制造商。

Although Carpenter has received this certification for other sectors producing materials used in aerospace products, the facility was required to go through a rigorous assessment to evaluate the processes of manufacturing actual aerospace components.

According to Peskosky, the evaluation involved “a massive questionnaire,” site visits from assessors, and interviews with employees. “They really go through it with a fine-toothed comb,” he added.

最近,Carpenter成为了GE增雷电竞充值材制造合作伙伴网络,旨在增加航空航天中3D印刷组件的体积。作为本协议的一部分,Arcam EBM Q20plus3D printer was recently installed at the CalRAM plant, aiming to enable large-scale production of aerospace components, such as structural airframe parts and turbine blades.

在此之前,2017年Carpenter收购了位于西弗吉尼亚州的钛粉制造商Puris$35 million deal。由于此次收购,Carpenter创造了theCartech Puris 5钛粉for metal 3D printing designed with maximum re-usability and material strength.

“我们正在购买刚刚起步的公司,以便我们可以带来木匠的专业知识和支持,以更快地发展这些公司。”explainedTony Thene,President and CEO at Carpenter.

Carpenter also plans on investing $52 million towards an Emerging Technology Center on its Athens, Alabama campus which will initially focus on the development of additive manufacturing technologies.
