Metal 3D Printer × Tungsten Contract Manufacturing Service [Technical Documentation Provided]
With a metal 3D printer, it has become possible to create complex materials that are difficult to process, such as tungsten! Here are some examples of the creations.
At Toray Precision, we offer a contract manufacturing service for tungsten 3D printing. Tungsten is a highly attractive material due to its high density, high melting point, low thermal expansion, and high thermal conductivity, yet it is difficult to process. With the recent capability of 3D printing tungsten using metal printers, the freedom of shape design has expanded, allowing for direct creation of desired shapes. Shapes that were previously impossible to achieve can now be realized. For example, the following are product examples of tungsten 3D printed items: - Collimator for biomolecular imaging - Collimator for gamma cameras - Crucibles - Anti-scatter grids, etc. This document introduces new applications and product examples made possible by the collaboration of difficult-to-machine tungsten and metal 3D printing. We mainly present information on metal additive manufacturing and tungsten, along with examples of processed products. Additionally, we include not only metal 3D printing but also our long-cultivated precision machining technology and examples of fine processing of difficult materials. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Applications/Examples of results
<Features> 1) By using "Simufact additive" from MSC for shape analysis, we reduce the risk of printing failures through pre-validation. 2) We minimize thermal distortion, a major enemy of metal 3D printers, by utilizing shape analysis to correct the model shape. 3) The surface of the printed object is rough. We select the optimal polishing method according to the part shape, in addition to blast finishing, to improve surface roughness. 4) We accommodate prototypes starting from a single piece. Mass production is also possible. 5) If there are concerns about the quality of the printed product, we discuss quality management methods with the customer, including quality checks of raw materials (composition, fluidity, etc.), quality checks of printed products (composition, strength, etc.), and freezing of the manufacturing process. (We have obtained the quality management system JISQ9100 for aerospace and defense.) 6) Difficult-to-cut materials like tungsten are manufactured using additive manufacturing methods instead of machining. 7) We propose shape optimization tailored for manufacturing with metal 3D printers. 8) We also support precision cleaning of printed objects. We can accommodate applications requiring high cleanliness, such as in the semiconductor industry. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
