Philadelphia-based Carpenter, which以3500万美元的合同收购了钛粉生产商Purislast year, has continued to invest in additive manufacturing following a strong set of financial results in the second quarter of FY 2018.
在截至2018年12月的截止期间的三个月中，木匠报告的收入为4.878亿美元, up by $60.4m on the same period in FY 2017, a 13% increase that was driven in part by the performance of the company’s Performance Engineered Products (PEP) segment.
The PEP segment of Carpenter’s business produces metal wire for 3D printing, alongside highly engineered metal powders under Carpenter Powder Products (CPP).
These powders and wire are feedstock for metal additive manufacturing operations that produce jet-engine fuel nozzles, rocket-thrust chambers, and orthopedic implants.
Acquiring CalRAM’s manufacturing capability
CalRAM’s 25,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Camarillo, California, houses its powder manufacturing equipment together with Electron Beam Melting, Laser Sintering, and heat treatment finishing services to manufacture low volume parts on demand.
首席执行官Tony Thene解释了Carpenter决定收购一家还提供制造服务的公司，该公司说：
“This strategic acquisition builds upon our existing additive manufacturing capabilities and provides direct entry into the rapidly expanding part production segment of the additive manufacturing value chain.”
“As additive manufacturing continues to evolve into more advanced components with increasing complexity, our customers are seeking partners who can not only produce parts, but also possess metallurgical expertise to help determine the best materials and processes to fit their needs in demanding applications,” Thene added.
