Space #Mechanics Curiosity ๐๐ค
#3Dprinted part undergoing waxing phase by our space #team, in order to protect the fluidic channels: it avoids any #metal chips during #CNC#machining operations.
It is an #innovative and #green method, as in Sรฒphia, we use pure beeswax.
Sรฒphia High Tech #team has completed the first of two injection heads, machining by TRUMPF [ATLIX] TruPrint 3000.
The component is currently inside the #SolukonAT350 to begin its #depowdering session: even #space#part need a shower after #additivemanufacturing ๐๐ฆพ
Finishing touches on our 7075 aluminum component! ๐
Ready for the final details: 5-axis #drilling and #tapping on the #umc750. We're basically sewing the button on Sunday best! ๐ค๐ชก
We're almost there! ๐

After completing the #3dprinting phase on the @trumpfinc [ATLIX] TruPrint 3000, the component is now in #depowdering stage in the Solukon SFM-AT350.

We manufacture #aerospace components from metal powders using #AdditiveManufacturing [Selective Laser Melting].
Here is a section of a #3Dprinted#Inconel#propulsion component: where material meets thermal resistance.
On June 16, 1963, ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ก๐ค๐จ๐ฏ๐ changed the course of #Space#exploration aboard the #Vostok6. With 48 orbits around the #Earth and three days in Space, Valentina became the first female #cosmonaut to fly into Space ๐ช๐ซ
Our #Inconel#aerospace part has left the TRUMPF [ATLIX] TruPrint 3000 hashtag#additivemanufacturing system, where it was depowdered on the Solukon SFM-AT350, and is now on the Okuma MULTUS B250II ๐
This #aerospace component is locked in the quality room ๐
...Don't panic: we're measuring every single grometrical feature to guarantee its integration with the other parts in #manufacturing.
It won't take longย ๐ #Space#propulsion manufacturing is in our hands ๐
Our additively manufactured component is now in the powder removal stage. It is made by high-performance #nickel alloys [to guarantee reliability at temperatures over 900ยฐC] for #space#propulsion application ๐
