MX3D, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, reports that the Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) of the US Department of Defense (DoD) in Vicksburg, MS, USA, has purchased one of the company’s M1 metal additive manufacturing machines.
The new machine is expected to be installed in Q1 of 2024 at the ERDC Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL), part of the U.S. Army research centers.
“Serving the USA market and collaborating with the USA DoD is a significant achievement for MX3D. It reflects our dedication to grow our North-American presence. It also shows that our focus on high productivity, certification and automation is paying off,” says Gijs van der Velden, CEO of MX3D.
The M1 uses wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), a wire-based directed energy deposition process and can manufacture components from a range of materials, including stainless steels (304/308/316/Duplex), steel (regular carbon, high strength, corten), aluminium (2000/5000/6000 series) and aluminium bronze.
