In order to help additive manufacturing technology achieve a breakthrough in industry, new, robust and wear-resistant printing materials will be required in addition to high-performance 3D printers in the future.
At the European nuclear fusion test reactor ITER, high-energy plasma is enclosed in strong magnetic fields. The surrounding solid vessel is welded together from individual parts, whereby the weld seams must meet the very highest requirements. The required quality can be achieved using electron beam welding technology.
Digitalization potential analysis

For many large companies, buzzwords such as big data, smart data and smart industry have long been part of everyday life. Small and medium-sized companies, on the other hand, often still doubt the feasibility and benefits. Yet they too can benefit from the competitive advantages. Initiatives and projects offer the right support if required.

IPTE has launched the MMS (Magnetic Motion System) for very fast production lines. This means that the cycle time for changing the workpiece carrier can be less than 0.5 seconds.
