Hybrid metal 3D prints
Reusing scrap
A creative combination method reduces metal waste by using blacksmith's residue for 3D printing
Wo gehobelt wird fallen späne. This German proverb literally means: where there is planing chips will fall. At the forging company Rosswag, however, metal waste no longer ends up in the scrap heap, but goes down innovative production and recycling paths. For example, when a tool is manufactured, a base body is created using a classical forging method. The residue is processed into a metal powder and subsequently pressed onto the base body in the desired form - and presto the new tool is finished! This creative solution conserves resources and shows how a traditional manufacturing method can be combined with high-tech solutions.
