Description
HIPed Build plates are produced via powder metallurgy and hot isostatic pressing and comply with AMS 4994A.
They are 100% dense with fine-grain microstructure to establish minimized warping during the additive manufacturing process.
ADVANCED SOLUTION FOR EVERY CUSTOMER
A+ metal build plates with their inherent anisotropy provide a number of technical advantages over the rolled plates:
Improved uniformity and homogeneity: no distortion from the plate during printing (selective heating resulting in the increased precision of the printed parts)
Significantly fewer restrictions when positioning built parts to their surface: easy to print
Increased lifespan (up to 10 times longer than the standard metal build plates) due to uniformity and customized thikness options availiable
No Alpha case inclusions and films: performs better as a heat sink (does not reflect the heat)

Our manufacturing capabilities allow us to produce large-sized (up to 600 x 600 mm) plates to keep up with advanced printers.
Rectangular billets of the cross section can also be HIPed, so that the plates can be saw cut to the necessary thickness.

hot isostatic pressing
Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) is a materials fabrication process in which a starting powder or a remolded shape is simultaneously subjected to both high temperatures and high isostatic pressures, using a gas transfer medium.
This technique has developed from an invention conceived before the 1960s, used initially for the primary purpose of fabricating clad nuclear fuel elements and referred to as “gas pressure bonding.”.
Today, it is employed for a broad range of metallic and nonmetallic materials. The three most common industrial applications are post densification of cemented carbides, sintering of specialty steels and the healing of super alloy and titanium castings.
