Cheaper components thanks to additive serial production
Task and challenge
| Customer | Industry | Product | Used material |
|---|---|---|---|
| SBM GmbH | Mechanical engineering/ energy technology | Injection nozzle | Nickel-alloy (In718) |
3D printing enabled the re-design and serial production of the injection nozzles, which were originally very complex, made of cast iron and consisted of several individual parts.
Optimization in numbers
10%
lower costs
Solution
- Redesign of the injection nozzle using Additive Manufacturing with a focus on the
- integration of functions
- integration of several components
- production-oriented design
- Testing of the injection nozzle in the application at SBM
- Series approval from SBM
- Serial production of the injection nozzles
Success
- Substitution of the manufacturing process from casting to 3D printing
- Cost reduction of the components by 10 %
- Quality assured serial production of 70 injection nozzles on one building platform using a nickel-alloy (In718)
