ALLOYS, PLASTICS & COMPOSITES

In addition, the system's ability to handle metal matrix composites (MMC) offers a lower-cost, more successful MMC route for the production of parts featuring improved impact resistance, for instance.

A variety of reinforcing and sensor-based fibres can be successfully embedded, too, embracing either MMC technology, fibre optics sensor technology or component 'patch' repair purposes - again extending Formation's appeal to a comprehensive audience of rapid production practitioners.

Alloys, plastic and composites - Formation provides material benefits with them all.
