EWI brings together an unmatched, diverse, and solution-focused team of experts in 3D printing processes and design; and supporting engineers and scientists from disciplines such as fusion and solid state welding technologies (laser, arc, ultrasonic, friction), materials science, process sensing and controls, non-destructive evaluation, modeling and simulation, and structural mechanics. Their metal 3D printing process capabilities include laser and electron beam powder bed fusion, laser and arc directed energy deposition, binder jetting, and access to ultrasonic additive manufacturing through our affiliate Fabrisonic. EWI also has consumer- and industrial- grade polymer 3D printers for prototyping and studying design for additive manufacturing. In addition to process technologies, we possess powder and surface characterization capabilities, metallurgical characterization, mechanical testing, NDE capabilities, and will be installing powder production, x-ray computed tomography, and large-scale deposition facilities in the next 12 months.
