TALOS, according to the two companies, enables the production of complex, porous, strong and lightweight tantalum structures for medical devices and industrial applications.
Fabric8Labs' proprietary ECAM technology has been developed to facilitate the production of fully customised 3D cooling structures and high-performance heat sinks that 'far exceed' the limitations of traditional manufacturing.
With this new strategic backing, MX3D aims to fast-track global deployment of its range of 3D printing systems and expand its Print-on-Demand services.
New CEO Arun Jeldi and former interim CEO (now COO) Brad Kreger sit down with TCT to discuss Arrayed Additive's acquisition of Velo, the impact the new ownership has had so far, and the short-term ambitions of the company moving forward.
The partners describe the new air coolers as a 'cutting-edge thermal breakthrough', with the system said to be lighter, smaller and more efficient than 'anything previously seen in production cars.'
A primary objective of the collaboration is to achieve qualification under the NORSOK M-501 standard, a globally recognised benchmark for surface preparation and protective coating of offshore installations.
The collaboration will focus on the early stages of the development process, with Velo3D tasked with optimising military weapons components for additive manufacturing.
The metal additive manufacturing company says Cooper, a retired Green Beret with over 25 years of service in the U.S. Army, will be responsible for expanding its presence in the defense and aerospace industries.
