Selective Powder Deposition
Technology

Since its foundation in 2016, Aerosint has been developing a technology called “Selective Powder Deposition“. This technology selectively deposits multiple powders to form a single layer containing at least two materials.

It’s an alternative to single material roller or blade recoaters traditionally used in powder bed fusion processes.

The technology applies to multiple additive manufacturing techniques like Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF), Binder Jetting, and Die Pressing.

Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) Printer

Multi-Metal LPBF Printer

Aerosint’s recoater has been integrated in a LPBF system from Aconity 3D GmbH, making it the first commercial multi-metal LPBF printer in the world.

The printer is today available to research driven organizations for purchasing.

Direct pressure assisted sintering of complex powder structures

May 13, 2022

At Aerosint we’ve developed the Selective Powder Deposition (SPD), a technology that allows the user to make 2D patterns with multiple powders in any shape or form they desire. Our goal is to empower you with this technology to make materials and parts like none you’ve seen before. One way to achieve this is via direct pressure assisted sintering on multi-material powder constructs.

Our Partners

What Aerosint has invented is very unique. An LPBF system with multi-material capabilities is unseen in the industry. Our customers have been waiting for these capabilities and we are therefore excited to start working on a potential solution for them. Multi-material is for us the next evolution of 3D printing and we are happy we can be pioneers here together with Aerosint.

We always seek synergies with other companies in our market niches and we are convinced that the collaboration with Aerosint will be pleasant and fruitful. At LASEA, we have been developing subtractive laser systems for many years for applications such as cutting, drilling, engraving, marking… based on ablation with ultrashort pulse lasers, a technology in great expansion and for which the advantages have been demonstrated over the past decades.

Aerosint is a team of professionals with whom I always enjoy to engage. The team is very talented and is working on topics where we see great potential within the Specialty Polymers Group at Solvay. We are happy to support Aerosint in their developments.

There are not many 3D printing startups working on the topic of Specialty Polymers powder bed printing. I think the approach imagined by Aerosint to solve the polymers waste issue of traditional SLS is very promising!

To use multiple materials in one printing job opens up a world of possibilities. One immediate need is to directly print thermocouples into probes in the exact shape and position we want, rather than having to stop a build job and place prefabricated thermocouples by hand. We hope to meet this need with the technical competencies of Aerosint and Fraunhofer and with the financial support of the Eurostars grant.

Sirris is involved in AM projects with more than 100 companies per year. The need to collaborate with Aerosint is essential to achieve high level results and bring new efficient tools to all of our industrial partners.
