Elementum 3D is enabling 6061 and 2024 aluminum for L-PBF via Reactive Additive Manufacturing (RAM) to eliminate hot-tearing. By synthesizing ceramic nucleants in-situ, A6061-RAM2 achieves over 2x the deposition rate of AlSi10Mg on EOS M290 systems. This allows aerospace firms to transition from cast-equivalent alloys to high-strength wrought-equivalent composites. Increased throughput and density will significantly lower production costs for mission-critical structural components. 🚀 #3DPrinting #AdditiveManufacturing #Aerospace #Materials
