Printing
On its 25 high production industrial printers, Sintavia additively manufactures using proprietary metal parameter sets for Nickel, Copper, Titanium, Aluminum, and refractory metals.
Sintavia’s 77,000 ft2 production facilities were built around lean production principles, some of the very first AM factories of their kind to do so.
Furnacing
For most critical aerospace applications, hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and vacuum heat treatment are required to remove porosity of the finished part, increase ductility, and reduce fatigue damage.
Sintavia operates both a hot isostatic press and multiple vacuum heat treat furnaces in-house. After stress relief, all parts must be removed from the build plate after production, and Sintavia uses wire electric discharge machines and bandsaws for this task.
Machining
Although powder bed fusion parts come out of the machines with a remarkable near net shape, post-processing is often involved to meet critical dimensions and/or surface finishes.
Sintavia utilizes a wide array of final machining methods to meet or exceed customers’ expectations. The company uses multi-axis vertical machine centers, lathes, and traditional mills – all on site – to machine final tolerances.
Surface Finishing
Sintavia is a global leader in the development and implementation of surface finish techniques and processes that conform to aerospace quality standards.
Sintavia’s surface finishing equipment includes wet and dry blasters, multi-vibrating systems, disk finishers, and exude hones.
Sintavia is a vertically-integrated AM operation, with design, printing, furnacing, machining, and surface finishing machines and tools all located on-site.
