\n Metal additive manufacturing in France <\/span>\n

It is a fact that more and more parts are being mass-produced. <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Metal additive manufacturing in France<\/a> enables parts to be produced by building up successive layers of material<\/a>, which are fused by the action of a laser.
\n While this 3D printing process has become increasingly commonplace, it is no longer reserved for the production of prototype parts, but is also used for mass production 3D printing.<\/p>\n

As a result, today, we are looking at \u201ctest piece\u201d type parts, which can help you test and characterise the process and\/or a material ahead of<\/strong> or during the actual production of parts. We explain everything.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

What is a \u201ctest piece\u201d\n <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n

It is a \u201csample\u201d part, which may have standardised geometries or not, according to your requirements.
\n You can entrust us with your test piece model.
\n We also have models at your disposal, which can be used.
\n Thanks to these parts, you can easily conduct the analyses you need, depending on the chosen material and layer thickness.

A so-called \u201ccharacterisation\u201d test piece <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
Test your production before launch and check that it meets your requirements.\r\n <\/div>\n
\n

Why should you produce characterisation test pieces before making your parts?
\n To allow you to test the chosen process and material by conducting tests, which will enable you to analyse the mechanical properties<\/a>, perform a dimensional inspection or even check that there no defects using tomography.<\/p>\n

A series of checks that, in certain cases, it may not be possible to perform on the actual final part.
\n A significant saving for this manufacturing process, which can be expensive for large parts.

On receipt of parts, carry out your tests directly with your own measuring equipment to check the characteristics that are essential for you.\r\n <\/div>\n
