MTC can manufacture within the approximate range of Dia200 mm × H300 mm.

The surface roughness is about Ra25 with electron beam and about Ra11 for laser.

Hybrid modeling is possible depending on the combination of materials. However, it is not possible to manufacture a part by combining two types of powder into the AM unit. Here at MTC we do offer an alternative process, hot isostatic pressing or HIP for short, which supports the Joining of two dissimilar materials.

Since it is difficult to evaluate the degree of mixing, the emphasis is on powder management after mixing. We evaluate whether the chemical composition after mixing meets the specifications and whether there are any abnormalities in the characteristics of the powder.

Although it depends on the shape, it is about ± 0.2 mm when the melting distance is 100 mm.

The yield is about 80-90%, depending on the customer's request and shape.

Powder management and the material control are controlled in accordance with internal control regulations.

Conditions are being set based on existing knowledge.

The crystalline structure of a structure has anisotropy. MTC allows homogenization of tissue by thermal Treatment or HIP Treatment.

The cost is varies and can depend on both shape and size. A part the size of a clenched fist could cost about 200,000 to 300,000 Yen per charge. The cost would also vary depending on any additional processes needed, such as Heat Treatment or Machining.

MTC offers design support in which we can propose design change improvements and topology optimization. MTC also offers vacuum heat treatment at our facilities.

Quality control of aerospace parts is based on JIS Q 9100. We have almost the same process control for consumer products. As for the work procedure, we create a work procedure manual for each product and work based on this.

MTC can perform non-contact laser dimensional measurement, contact-type 3D measurement, He leak inspection, water pressure resistance inspection, X-ray CT, and other inspections.
