January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
QuesTek Innovations, a company in computational materials engineering is working with a company in niobium production to develop a high-temperature alloy design concept optimized for additive manufacturing.
The effort aims to support development of next-generation alloys for aerospace and energy. The concept is being shaped with input from companies such as GE Vernova and Technetics Group to help advance propulsion, power generation, and advanced equipment sectors.
With this material for additive manufacturing, the new alloy is said to eliminate long tooling lead times, providing agility for manufacturers.
The alloy can offer a path to lower emissions and increased system efficiency, QuesTek Innovations reports.
The multi-phase project is moving from digital simulation to physical validation, leveraging QuesTek’s ICMD design and engineering platform to create material ready for modern manufacturing.
