Kanfit offers 3D printing of aluminium parts for the aerospace industry through its sister company Kanfit

Kanfit Ltd., announced that it now offers additive manufacturing of aluminium parts through its sister company Kanfit3D. The new SLM 280 system enables the production of medium to high volume aluminium parts and prototypes using selective laser melting. The new system is in addition to Kanfit3D's EOS M290 manufacturing machine based on Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) for Titanium Alloy Ti64G5.

"Our new SLM system has a state of the art high power laser system that reduces the cost per part, while advanced sensors and additional systems ensure best in class processing conditions to deliver highly consistent, top performance additive manufacturing parts," remarked Zachy Shtamler, COO of Kanfit3D. "Our advanced capabilities will allow us to shorten delivery times for products from one month, for example, to five days."

"We are very excited about the new opportunities that this new system opens up for us." said Shachar Fine, Kanfit EVP of Business Development, Marketing and Sales. "Being able to offer AM aluminium manufacturing is another example of how Kanfit pioneers new technological processes to benefit our customers."

Together both Kanfit3D and Kanfit Ltd. hope to expand into new aerospace and medical sectors, including home defense, and custom-made medical fixtures and devices.

The SLM 280 system was installed remotely in a joint effort between Kanfit3D's technical team and SLM Solutions, Germany via telephone video conferencing due to the travel restrictions imposed by COVID-19.
