GET IN TOUCH Additive Manufacturing Invested in the Future: Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing Premier Technology provides the following metal and plastic polymer additive manufacturing capabilities: Directed Energy Deposition (DED): Wire or Powder metal feedstock is precisely fed into the laser melt pool forming the desired part layer by layer. Vacuum Laser-Wire DED: We have developed the capability to print metal components under reduced atmospheric conditions. This is advantageous for unique applications where oxidation of critical materials cannot be tolerated. Fused Filament Fabrication: Provides high quality plastic prototype and production pieces. Ability to print parts larger than 1 cubic foot in size with high performance engineering grade plastics. Application Development Services providing Engineering Design, Materials Expertise, and Optimization for Additive Manufacturing. Post processing heat treatments and precision machining. We can produce metal parts over 16 inches tall from a variety of alloys including, Inconel, Hastelloy, titanium and stainless steel. High deposition rates and densities above 99.5% can be achieved from using commercially available wire feedstock making this the most cost effective DED process available. We can also provide multi-material prints and add material or features to an existing part. We are actively working on systems development to allow us to print parts in excess of one cubic meter. Tap into our manufacturing and materials expertise and let us solve your additive manufacturing needs. Partnering with Universities and National Labs Premier Technology is currently partnering with the University of Idaho, Boise State University, the Idaho National Lab, and the Center for Advanced Energy Studies to research and develop its additive manufacturing technology even further.
