About 3D Printing
Aurora helps customers solve manufacturing problems that conventional processes cannot address efficiently. We combine additive-manufacturing design expertise, printing process knowledge, simulation, material development and post-processing to produce complex, high-performance metal components for demanding applications.
Our team can support the full pathway from component selection and redesign through prototyping, verification, qualification and production. The focus is not simply on printing a supplied geometry; it is on using additive manufacturing to reduce part count, improve functionality, address supply-chain constraints and create components that are ready for their intended application.
Laser Powder Bed Fusion
Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) is the advanced additive manufacturing process used to produce high-performance metal parts layer-by-layer directly from digital designs. A thin layer of metal powder is spread across a build plate, then selectively melted by a high-power laser. This process repeats layer by layer until the final part is complete.
LPBF allows for exceptional accuracy, strength, and design freedom. This is ideal for components requiring complex geometries, internal features, or high thermal and mechanical performance.
A3D uses LPBF to manufacture parts for propulsion systems, energetic devices, and structural applications of critical performance and reliability.
LPBF consolidates multiple parts into a single printed component, reducing the weight, assembly time, and failure points of components. These improvements make LPBF a powerful force multiplier in both industry and defence applications.
