B3D Performance

B3D Performance is specialized in Additive Manufacturing (AM or 3D printing) using metallic powders. We position ourselves as a bridge between AM technology and AM adopters. We are here to prepare SMEs, OEMs, designers and engineers, who want to use AM in their future manufacturing needs, through training programs. We are here to continuously suppo... rt them during their product development process, through services of mechanical testing, non-destructive testing, and material characterization. We are here to make an effort to bring down material cost of metal powders by minimizing powder waste through our internally developed instruments. Services: *Mechanical Testing (ISO and NadCap certified) Full machining capability Comply to ASTM standards Testing in ambient and elevated temperature Static testing: Tensile, Compression, 3-point bending, Charpy Dynamic testing: Fatigue, Fracture Crack Growth Rate *Material Characterization Full spectrum characterization for Metal Powders - Dynamic angle of repose (Granudrum technique) - Flowability (ASTM B213) - Porosity (Micro computerized tomography, SEM) - Powder size distribution (ASTM B822) - Chemistry - Morphology (SEM) - Surface area (IGC and BET) - Surface energy and cohesivity (IGC) - Dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) - Independent 3rd party powder benchmarking: optimized printing parameters for good density, mechanical properties of printed parts (tensile and fatigue), and microstructure characterization Metallurgical support and analysis for Bulk Material - Microstructural analysis - Failure analysis - Chemistry analysis - Thermal dynamic analysis - Density - Non-destructive inspection by micro CT scanning - Dimensional accuracy - Surface roughness - Mechanical propertiesRead More
