Additive manufacturing of metal parts is becoming big
FIT AG is presenting a new technology that could revolutionize the production of large-format metal components. Called Submerged Arc Additive Manufacturing (SAAM), the process promises to significantly surpass previous limitations in terms of size, efficiency and material properties.
With Submerged Arc Additive Manufacturing, SAAM for short, FIT AG is working on the market launch of a pioneering technology in additive manufacturing. SAAM is characterized by its ability to produce particularly large components, i.e. over 50 kg, cost-efficiently - a breakthrough that is likely to be of particular interest in the mechanical engineering, aerospace and construction industries.
“Our customers are faced with the challenge of producing ever larger and more complex structures more efficiently. The factors of time and availability are also playing an increasingly important role. With SAAM, we offer a solution that not only saves costs, but also optimizes the quality of the components,” says Carl Fruth, CEO of FIT AG, explaining the motivation behind the development and expansion of this additional metal process.
The SAAM technology is currently at the heart of the “I AM Huge” research project. The idea for this was developed at the Parsberg-Lupburg Technology Campus under the direction of Prof. Dr.-Ing. The aim is to test the marketability of this revolutionary production method and to further develop it in a demand-optimized manner.
