Expeditionary applications
Produce metal parts on-demand directly at the point of need.
The ultimate expeditionary solution
Defence and commercial industry leaders face unique challenges in the field. Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing (CSAM) can help, making it possible to produce durable metal parts on-site and on-demand—even in austere environments.
- High-quality materials that meet or exceed cast equivalents
- Containerized, ruggedized, and easy to deploy
- Automation that reduces the need for special training and expertise
CSAM enables you to produce high-density parts for a growing variety of applications right at the point of need.
Expeditionary applications
Obsolete Parts
CSAM is significantly faster than traditional casting or machining, making it possible to cost-effectively produce low-volume or highly customized replacements for parts no longer in production.
Repair/Reconditioning
CSAM gives you the ability to quickly repair parts subject to significant wear, corrosion, and mechanical damage without incurring the high cost of full-part replacement.
Low-Volume Production
Rapid turnaround, material flexibility, and the ability to produce highly customized parts without the need for expensive molds or tooling make CSAM particularly well-suited for low-volume production.
Coatings
From wear and corrosion resistance to enhanced thermal protection and impact resistance, cold spray coatings enable you to significantly enhance part performance without relying on expensive molds or tooling.
