Fabrisonic Hybrid Enables Solid-State Bonds at Low Temperatures
Rapid 2019: Fabrisonic LLC releases its SonicLayer 1200 machine which offers Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing (UAM) technology at an affordable price, the company says.
Fabrisonic releases its SonicLayer 1200 machine which offers Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing (UAM) technology at an affordable price, the company says. The SonicLayer 1200 features a build envelope of 9" × 9" × 16" (XYZ). The proprietary UAM process developed by Fabrisonic combines room-temperature metal deposition with the ease of traditional CNC milling, the company says. UAM enables solid-state bonds at temperatures less than 250°F to support aid welding dissimilar metals and embedding sensors and electronics into fully dense metal parts.
The machine uses a hybrid additive and subtractive process to enable complex arrays of smooth internal channels. All internal and external surfaces have a CNC finish, and the process is driven by industry-standard G code.
