Precision Additive has launched a metal additive manufacturing system powered by its proprietary Scanning Super Laser Melt (SSLM) technology and an 'AI architecture' based on NVIDIA technology.
The PA-300 machine has been designed to produce 'high-quality, qualification-ready components' for the defence, aerospace, energy and medical industries.
Precision Additive claims the advanced SSLM laser enables build speeds up to ten times faster than conventional systems, with the company confident its flagship product can improve production performance. AI technology has been embedded to continuously monitor the build and automatically correct deviations in real time, while the data-driven Precision Additive Qualification framework is said to ensure 'consistent, repeatable results from build to build.'
Such capabilities, Precision Additive says, allow the PA-300 to process magnesium alloys, in addition to tungsten and copper.
"As defence programs face fragile supply chains and increasing reliance on foreign sources for high-complexity parts, domestic manufacturing capability has become essential to readiness," said Jon Haase, Chief Strategy Officer and President of Government Business. "The PA machines are designed to restore secure U.S.-based production. These machines are critical to US defence and exceed international printers."
"Additive manufacturing is entering a new era defined by intelligence, reliability, and accountability," added Bala Anand Jeldi, Founder and CEO of Precision Additive. "Precision Additive was created to ensure advanced manufacturing systems are not only innovative, but dependable enough to support the most demanding applications."
