Component manufacturer Knust-Godwin has reportedly acquired a VELO3D Sapphire metal additive manufacturing (AM) system.
VELO3D says that its 3D printers can make parts with low-angle geometries without support structures. Its AM system consists of Flow pre-print software, the Sapphire printer, and Assure quality management software.
‘We see so many parts that have been manufactured with traditional methods that could take advantage of the benefits from AM,’ said Michael Corliss, Knust–Godwin VP of technology.
‘The oil and gas industry is one of the largest emerging market segments to adopt metal AM, and I’m thrilled to partner with oilfield leaders like Knust-Godwin for direct-part production,’ added Benny Buller, CEO of VELO3D.
