Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) will acquire the first liquid metal 3D-printing system from Vader Systems, a Buffalo-based company. It will be part of an array of equipment being used for research and product development through the institutes Additive Manufacturing and Multifunctional Printing (AMPrint) Center located in New York.
The standard way of printing 3D metal parts today is to use powdered metal alloys, which are fused using high heat. We are very proud and honored to have the first Magnetojet printer as part of the AMPrint Center, said Denis Cormier, AMPrint Center Director and RITs Professor Earl W. Brinkman. It promises to be an indispensable tool for the fabrication of metal parts and will greatly further our capabilities and help our industrial partners.
