Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing (UAM)
UAM is a revolutionary process technology that uses sound to merge layers of metal drawn from featureless foil stock. The process produces true metallurgical bonds with full density and works with a variety of metals. In combining additive and subtractive process capabilities, UAM can create deep slots, hollow, latticed, or honeycombed internal structures, and other complex geometries traditionally difficult or impossible with conventional subtractive manufacturing processes. This versatile process yields a wide range of benefits, among them:
- Tamperproof, ultra-rugged enclosures
- Low process heat enables electronics embedding
- Non-destructive, fully-encapsulating fiber embedding
- Complex internal geometries
- Fully enclosed, sealed internal cavity creation and object embedding
- Dissimilar material joining
- Self-actuating structures
- Rapid prototype components
