Directed Energy Deposition (DED) Metal 3D Printer [RPMI]

We will be exhibiting at the 【Metal Japan High-Performance Metal Exhibition 2023】 this year as well! 【Japan's largest exhibition covering the metal industry, including steel, non-ferrous metals, and distribution】 This business exhibition showcases all technologies related to high-performance metals, including metal materials such as aluminum, copper, titanium, magnesium, precious metals, and steel, as well as their processing machinery, analysis and inspection equipment, and steel distribution. In recent years, the number of exhibitors related to metal 3D printing equipment has also increased, and the interest from visitors has been growing significantly. We look forward to your visit! Dates: October 4 (Wednesday) to 6 (Friday), 2023 Venue: Makuhari Messe Booth Number: 42-32

We will be exhibiting at the Formnext Forum Tokyo again this year! The Formnext Forum Tokyo, a sister event of the international trade fair Formnext held annually in Frankfurt, focuses on AM (Additive Manufacturing) technology and industrial 3D printing. It is a combined event featuring exhibitions and seminars where AM technologies, related technologies, products, services, and information, including 3D printing, come together. We look forward to your visit. Date and Time: September 28 (Thursday) – 29 (Friday), 2023, 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Venue: Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center, Hamamatsucho Hall Booth Number: 4F C006

This year, H.T.L. Co., Ltd. will be exhibiting at the "Next Generation 3D Printer Exhibition (AM Japan) 2023 (June)"! We will update the information regarding our booth number and hall number as soon as it is announced by the organizers. *The Next Generation 3D Printer Exhibition is a trade show focused on additive manufacturing, 3D printers, materials, and contract manufacturing services, showcasing AM and 3D printing technologies. It attracts many visitors from the manufacturing industry, including those involved in production technology, prototyping, design, development, and purchasing, as well as professionals from construction, entertainment, and advertising industries, who engage in active business discussions with exhibiting companies. Venue: Tokyo Big Sight Hall Name: East Hall 1 Booth Number: 5-24

The proposal from a joint team of Boeing, RPMI, and Hexagon, aimed at realizing hypersonic aircraft, was selected in the "Technology Development Proposal Using 3DP" publicly solicited by America Makes, a U.S. 3D printing promotion organization. The AFRL (U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory) will invest \$500,000 (65 million yen), and the three companies will advance the development of applications for hypersonic aircraft using 3D printing under the MAGMA Project. Hypersonic aircraft are being developed primarily by the U.S. Air Force and NASA, aiming for operation at speeds of Mach 5 and above. The evaluation of RPMI's achievements in support-less, free-form fabrication using 5-axis robot control with DED (Directed Energy Deposition) technology led to the adoption of this application development using 3D printing.
