Boeing HorizonX Ventures Invests in High-speed Metal 3D Printing Company

Boeing HorizonX Ventures has invested in Digital Alloys, Inc., a company based in Burlington, Massachusetts which develops high-speed, multi-metal additive manufacturing systems that produce 3D-printed parts for aerospace and other production applications.

Digital Alloys' Joule Printing technology can rapidly combine multiple metals into each part, which improves thermal, electrical, magnetic and mechanical properties. The process allows metals like titanium and high-temperature alloys to be 3D-printed for parts that could be used on Boeing products.

Formed in January 2017, Digital Alloys developed a patented 3D-printing approach that avoids the cost and complexity of powder-based systems, and delivers higher resolution than other wire-based 3D-printing techniques.

Additive manufacturing generates value for Boeing by reducing the cost and time needed to design, build and deliver products to customers. At present, Boeing has more than 60,000 3D-printed parts flying on space, commercial and defense products. This investment is the latest example of the company's commitment to additive manufacturing innovation.

In addition, Ian CHANG, the vice president operation of Boeing Commercial Airplanes and James HUANG, the senior manager of Boeing Tianjin Composites Co., Ltd., has confirmed to be our speakers at the 6^th Annual China Aeronautical Materials and Process Summit (CAMPS 2018), which will be held in the city of Chengdu on September 13^th this year. They will share leading insights about advanced aeronautical materials at the summit.
