Additive Manufacturing – Replacement Parts

Additive material processes are being used to prototype replacement parts for items such as turbine hardware, pump impellers, and nozzles to reduce the amount of time required to qualify a replacement part for use and repair obsolete equipment. Put Lucideon's decades of experience providing 100% rush materials characterization services to support commercial-grade dedication to use for you!

Additive Manufacturing – New Product Development & Consultancy

Lucideon maintains a position at the cutting edge of Additive Manufacturing technology. We provide support to all levels of the development chain. We have formed networks and relationships with equipment manufacturers, raw material suppliers, post-treatment processes and resource centers, test method development committees (i.e. ASTM), and many users in various industries.

Lucideon's materials experts have a wide array of materials characterization techniques available to advance your understanding of how to design, manufacture, qualify and optimize the performance of 3D printed parts.

We can help you choose the best AM technique for your application, validate manufacturing and material parameters, optimize post-processing procedures (i.e. machining, HIPing), and perform recycle or reuse studies.

And with our materials expertise in metals, ceramics and polymers we are experts at understanding powder and materials characteristics, properties and interactions, enabling quality issues and product failures to be minimized.
