Global engineering company Renishaw is collaborating with Sandvik Additive Manufacturing to qualify new additive manufacturing (AM) materials for production applications. This encompasses a broad range of metal powders, including new alloy compositions that are optimized for the laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF) process and which provide superior material properties.

Sandvik and BEAMIT join forces at Formnext 2019 in Frankfurt to showcase the strength of the two companies’ combined offering in metal powder and additive manufacturing. Together, the companies have leading capabilities across the whole additive manufacturing value chain, from metal powders to finished components.

Sandvik has acquired a significant stake in BEAMIT, with the right to further increase its stake over time. BEAMIT is a leading European-based Additive Manufacturing service provider which will complement and further strengthen Sandvik’s existing offer in metal Additive Manufacturing.
