On the dimensions of know-how and cooperation

On the dimensions of know-how and cooperation

In addition to reliable equipment and standardised processes, metal 3D printer manufacturers offer tested materials and parameters. These together make printing relatively straightforward and the printed components consistent and reliable. The basic processes defined by the...

Delva expands its metal 3D printing park

Delva Oy from Hämeenlinna will continue its series of machine investments and thus offer an even stronger partnership for developing the industry by utilizing 3D printing of metal, both domestically and internationally. The contract for purchasing the metal 3D printer was...

Together we exceed any limitations of 3D printing

Together we exceed any limitations of 3D printing

The moral of this story: exceeding restrictions together takes us further. So, what comes to AM, you have no reason to "carry coals to Newcastle" – or, as we would say in Finnish:" it does not pay off to go further than the sea to fish." The use of additive manufacturing (AM)...

Develop the manufacturing chain with 3D printing

Develop the manufacturing chain with 3D printing

3D printing opens up new possibilities for solving manufacturing challenges. In the best case, based on the customer's solution's task and the purpose, we create the most optimal solution – all this with less weight and smaller size and well functioning, good looking form. In...

Heat treatment of 3D printed metal components has a big impact

Heat treatment of 3D printed metal components has a big impact

3D printed metal components are almost always heat treated. The treatments remove the internal stresses created in part during printing and change the part's microstructure as needed. Commonly in industrial use, the microstructure's modification targets specific properties like...

Sustainability benefits from 3D printing

Sustainability benefits from 3D printing

Corporate responsibility and sustainable development receive a lot of attention. The genuine pursuit of sustainability calls for the ability to change our traditional thinking, learn, and continuously improve our actions. 3D printing as technology takes us significant steps...

3D printed copper components for industrial use

3D printed copper components for industrial use

Excellent thermal and electrical conductivity make copper an interesting material for industrial applications. Typical ones are heat exchangers, electronics, and other applications that require conductivity. Printing as a manufacturing method brings freedom of form to the...

Reduce spare part concerns and storage by 3D-printing

Reduce spare part concerns and storage by 3D-printing

Supply chains and security of supply have been a hot topic this spring. Availability problems have highlighted the risks posed by long supply chains. Shortages have appeared in both standard and special parts. When the production process stops due to a lack of spare parts, the...

Recycling is part of the additive manufacturing process

Recycling is part of the additive manufacturing process

In metal printing, the powder bed fusion method recycles the material throughout the printing process. With high-quality equipment, this is done safely and without compromising printing quality. In the additive manufacturing of metals by powder bed fusion, is powder recycling...

Additive manufacturing for tough use from Delva

The first phase of the machine park is completed Delva Oy has completed the first phase of its machine park. The latest investment, middle size metal printer EOS M290, increases the capacity considerably and enables even more flexible service for customers. In April this year,...

Delva Oy starts 3D printing of metals in Hämeenlinna

EOS printer delivered at Delva Oy's production facilities Delva Oy has just received the first metal printer in its production facilities in the industrial area Moreeni in Hämeenlinna. The machine is a mid-size machine EOS M270 and starts Delva Oy's production machine series....
