Midwest Engineered Systems has demonstrated its Additive Manufacturing System at multiple events in the past year. This video was taken in conjunction with KUKA Robotics during IMTS 2016. Below are the highlights about the MWES Additive Manufacturing System:
The Future of Manufacturing is not just subtractive, but additive
Foundry, machining, welding, and forging applications
The system offers a cleaner carbon footprint with less material wasted
Up to 99.9% material utilization
Fast part turn around time
Additive capability with exotic metals
Metals Used: Stainless, Titanium, Cobalt, Inconel, high Nickel Alloy, and Carbide
1/25th the price of powder additive processes
Two or three different materials can be combined into one component
Best applications are low volume, high mix, & complex components, Large Format up to 6m wide x 40m long x 2m high
Industries that are using Additive Manufacturing: Shipbuilding, Aerospace, Agricultural, suspension, prototyping, replacement parts, new part designs
Additive manufacturing allows parts to be produced in a flexible manner at a lower cost
MWES specializes in highly engineered components, manufacturing systems, focused on metallurgy
