Engineering specialist Sheffield Forgemasters has launched a large-scale hybrid 3D printer and milling machine designed to significantly improve the speed, efficiency and flexibility of its castings manufacture.
The new facility will be used to produce patterns – the solid forms that create the moulds into which molten steel is poured – a critical first stage in the casting process.
By combining additive manufacturing and precision milling in a single system, the technology is expected to reduce costs and lead times while improving delivery performance.
