Aluminum Additive has Arrived
Alloy Enterprises’ novel additive manufacturing system provides high throughput of fully-dense parts, enabling manufacturers to scale from prototyping to production.
The Next Generation Contains No Powders
Inspired by laminated object manufacturing, selective diffusion bonding uses sheets of aluminum to build parts layer-by-layer without any adhesives. The feedstock material is safe for operators to handle, can be stored as easily as traditional stock, and is infinitely recyclable.
Why us?
Design Freedom
Precision cutting and a full support strategy gives engineers freedom to create complex geometries with overhangs & internal channels.
Accurate Parts
Isothermal bonding means no warping, ensuring that your parts will be made accurately and reliably.
Fast Cycle Times
From file to part our process is up to 25X faster than existing additive technologies, allowing for rapid iterations and production level throughput
Our Process
Step 1
Outline and features of the parts are laser cut into sheets
Step 2
Inhibiting agent is selectively applied to create in situ supports
Step 3
Cut sheets are stacked on a caddy before undergoing the bonding process
Step 4
Sheets are diffusion bonded under heat & pressure to form homogeneous, established alloys
Step 5
Support material is easily removed from nested parts without the need for specialized tools
The New Era of Additive Manufacturing
Multi-part Packing
Reach production throughput via optimized build volume packing
Limited Post-Processing
Obtain your final parts without the use of band saws or specialized machining equipment
Fully-Dense
Additively manufactured parts with the density and bulk properties of bar stock
Established Alloys
Achieve end-use parts with known material properties and composition, such as 6061
