Bralco Advanced Materials is a Singapore research and development company specializing in the research and development of metal additive manufacturing. On July 25, 2019, Antarctic Bear learned from foreign media that the company announced that it had signed a cooperation agreement with GE Additive.
The purpose of this agreement is to promote3D printingDevelopment of magnetic components.Specifically, the agreement will focus on the Asia-Pacific region, aiming to develop applications for the aerospace, medical, automotive, energy, industrial automation and robotics industries3D printingmagnet.
Bralco founder and CEO Amit Nanavati commented: “Bralco is very honored to be able to cooperate with GE Additive in this exciting field of digital industry 4.0. This cooperation is an important milestone for us. The demand is growing rapidly because they are used in all aspects of modern life, such as healthcare, mobility, personal communication devices, renewable energy or robots. In addition, compared with traditional manufacturing processes, the use of additive manufacturing technology will save hundreds of dollars Cost of materials.”
Bralco will work with GE Additive’s additive manufacturing and powder technology to accelerate the development of soft and hard magnets. It aims to produce parts with complex shapes, different magnetic fields and high mechanical strength.These3D printingThe magnetic components will also be developed to withstand high temperature, high frequency and high torque conditions for applications such as traction motors for electric vehicles.
“We are very pleased to establish our first R&D laboratory and product innovation center in Singapore, equipped with GE Additive machines and the most advanced powder and built-in part testing and characterization laboratory,” Nanavati added.
According to the Memorandum of Understanding, Bralco may also obtain GE Additive Metal3D printingMaterials for AP&C in the powder production department.The Memorandum of Understanding further considers positioning Bralco as the Asia-Pacific region3D printingThe service provider of the component. The company may use GE Additive 3D printingMachines and powders based on Bralco’s own magnetic material components to play this role.
The production of magnetic parts is a continuous development3D printingField, various institutions are studying3D printingA breakthrough method combining technology and magnetism. In October 2018, students from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich developed an additive manufacturing technology for manufacturing objects containing magnets.
Recently, a team of scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory used an improved3D printingThe machine produces magnetic droplets. The combined liquid and magnetic properties could potentially lead to applications such as artificial cells that can provide targeted cancer therapy, or flexible liquid robots that can change their shape to adapt to their surroundings.
In March 2019, engineers from McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada developed a method that uses magnets to quickly generate cell clusters.3D bioprintingMethod for performing cancer tumors within 6 hours3D printing. The process aims to create an alternative laboratory environment that mimics the conditions in the body for regenerative medicine research-reducing the need for animal testing.
