LPW Technology Ltd (www.lpwtechnology.com) and Magnitude Innovations Ltd (www.mgntd.co) are combining their additive-manufacturing (AM) experience to support the industrialisation of metal AM.

Ben Ferrar, LPW’s COO, said: “Both organisations focus on AM and understand the many issues facing manufacturing, as it scales up to full AM production.

“In partnership, LPW and Magnitude will support their clients with metal powders plus design, process and applications support.

The projects undertaken together will offer a tailored turn-key solution to the adoption of AM technologies, helping industrial companies to use AM and broadening the knowledge base of the AM sector.”

LPW is a global manufacturer and developer of metal powders and end-to-end solutions, while Magnitude approaches AM from the viewpoint of the process, looking at technology qualification, R&D and production set-up.

Matt Tusz, CEO and co-founder of Magnitude, said: “We are experienced in process development, machine qualification and calibration, as well as the optimisation of AM parameters to reach the requirements of highly regulated industries like aerospace and energy.

“We’ve helped organisations bring critical applications into production, established quality management systems, and trained and educated teams to enable the adoption of metal powder-bed fusion technologies.”
