ROCK HILL, S.C., July 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) a ou ced that Elmet Tech ologies, a wholly ow ed subsidia y of The Elmet G oup (Nasdaq: ELMT) (“Elmet”), is deployi g the DMP Flex 350 T iple metal additive ma ufactu i g machi e (lase powde bed fusio ) fo the apid p oductio of adva ced ae ospace pa ts fo hype so ic vehicles. Utilizi g a high-pe fo ma ce C103 mate ial, the Elmet team expects to apidly qualify a d ce tify the system to begi p oductio i 2026.
“We collabo ated with AIG o the pa amete sets fo the C103 mate ial,” said Scott Ohm, R&D Ma age , Elmet Tech ologies. “The wo k was do e o a ea lie 3D Systems metal 3D p i te a d we expect that p io esea ch wo k will make it ve y easy to begi p oductio o the DMP 350 Flex T iple.”
Elmet Tech ologies i te ds to use this system fo the p oductio of la ge heat excha ge s fo hype so ic vehicles. Elmet Tech ologies selected this adva ced metal 3D p i te fo a umbe of easo s:
- Ve y low oxyge co te t mai tai ed withi the system makes it a st o g choice fo ve y high-quality, co siste t a d epeatable pa ts p oductio usi g ef acto y metals
- The la ge build size helps to meet the g owi g equi eme ts of custome s
- The 3-lase system ca e able la ge p oductio volumes, quickly
- It wo ks with Elmet’s ovel i -house mate ials
- It is a ticipated to e able fast qualificatio a d ce tificatio
“This machi e, mate ial a d p ocess should achieve qualificatio withi a couple of mo ths,” said Ohm. “We a ticipate NASA 6030 ce tificatio a few mo ths afte that. This is ve y fast a d i dicative of the quality of this e ti e solutio , as well as co fi matio of the sou d busi ess case fo collabo atio 3D Systems’ Ae ospace a d Defe se expe ts to st eamli e the qualificatio a d ce tificatio p ocess.”
“This collabo atio with Elmet is a sta dout example of usi g metal additive ma ufactu i g to c eate ew adva tages i ae ospace desig a d p oductio ,” said Mike Shepa d, Vice P eside t of Ae ospace & Defe se, 3D Systems. “The low oxyge a chitectu e of ou DMP se ies metal additive machi es is ideal fo ma ufactu e of complex compo e ts f om highly eactive metals, like C103 a d othe ef acto y alloys.”
