Additive manufacturing using MPA technology

We have been focussing on the development of new generative manufacturing techniques for several years now. The industrially matured HERMLE MPA technology represents an innovative and versatile process for the generative production of all metal components and displays its full potential especially in the field of tool and mould making. One of the main advantages is the opportunity to complement pre-cast semi-finished parts with generatively manufactured components. With its large working area and a traverse range measuring 800 - 800 - 550 mm (X-Y-Z), the MPA42 machine sets new standards.

MPA = Metal-Powder-Application

The HERMLE MPA technology is a kinetic spray process that uses metal powder to build up solid components layer by layer. To do so, powder particles are accelerated to very high speeds by means of a carrier gas and then deposited on the substrate via a nozzle. Buildup rates of up to 900 ccm/h and a powder jet from the nozzle comprising several millimetres ensure the MPA technology creates a comparatively dense layer of material on components of varying sizes.
