3DPro® MiruGas®

Equipment for Additive Manufacturing.

Competent and professional Customer Service

In the last few years, the 3D printing process has evolved, thanks to the development of fibre resources and a greater focus precision of the laser beam. Nevertheless, this complex process in repeatability still needs more studies and improvement to tame the lack of standards.

The influence of gases in the metal additive manufacturing process.

3D printing processes can be of different types: PBF, EBM, DED, FDM, and the most recent one WAAM. There are also many different metals, often noble ones, that can also be processed, reason why this is an expensive process.

All these different processes have a common characteristic, which is to protect the manufactured product from oxidisation during construction and heat treatment phases. So, to preserve the metallurgical characteristics of the metal powder essential to obtain the finished product, it is important to use high-quality gas.

Oxygen and moisture, 3D printing enemies

Nippon Gases R&D centres carried out some studies showing how these two pollutants cause imperfections in the metallurgical structure of products manufactured with the 3D printing process. Thanks to these studies, it was also possible to understand that the presence of both pollutants inside the chamber is directly proportional to the number of defects in the product. Our company has developed the 3DPro® Purifier, which drastically reduces having defective products due to oxygen and moisture presence. By eliminating these two parameters, the process can be stable and standard.

Do you still have questions?

At Nippon Gases we are called “The Gas Professionals” for a reason, and it’s because we’ll be able to solve any doubt.
