Read MoreRAM3D: Transforming Aerospace by Metal 3D Printing for Satellite Propulsion
We are transforming aerospace by metal 3D printing lighter, efficient propulsion for satellites. Metal 3D printing enables the creation of complex thrusters and fuel tank parts with previously impossible geometries, achieving significant mass reduction and boosting satellite efficiency. Propulsion is absolutely crucial for space satellites; without it, they wouldn’t reach their intended orbits. Once a…
Read MoreRAM3D: Partnering in Mission-Critical Aerospace with 3D Printing
Metal 3D printing is revolutionising the space industry by enabling the creation of lighter, stronger, and more efficient parts with complex geometries. This technology will play an even bigger role in future space exploration endeavours. We have incorporated approximately 8,000 of our metal 3D printed aerospace components into spacecraft to date. On a yearly basis…
Read MoreHow RAM3D is revolutionizing the bike industry
We have been metal 3D printing bicycle componentry for the last eleven years. Currently we print for about fifteen world-wide bicycle companies, consisting of large and small businesses. They all have embraced this technology and are more than pleased with their lighter frames and components that don’t compromise on strength. The parts we 3D print…
Read MoreHeat Treatments and what they are used for
One of the additional services we offer is heat treatment. Heat treatments are used to increase hardness, temperature resistance, strength & ductility. The metals we print can be treated in the same way as machined parts. This means if there is a specific heat treatment you require, it is likely we can offer that on-site. …
Read MoreRAM3D and Oceania Defence
It’s no secret that RAM3D has been working in collaboration with Oceania Defence, a world leader in firearms suppressors since 2012. Oceania Defence relocated its business to RAM3D’s bespoke factory in Tauranga in July 2019, and the business relationship continues to move from strength to strength, with more exciting projects being designed and metal 3D…
Read MoreDesigning an Aerospike Rocket Engine
Phil designed these Inconel 718 aerospike engines for Land Forces 2021. In addition to the defence samples we already have, we wanted to have some aerospace samples so we can show some design concepts. The purpose of this international expo was to showcase equipment, technology, and services for the armies of Australia and the Indo-Asia-Pacific.…
Read MoreOur Materials and Where They are Used in Metal 3D Printing
We have four materials running full-time in our machines. They are Stainless Steel 316L, Stainless Steel 15-5ph, Inconel 718 and Titanium 64. We have offered Aluminium but there hasn’t been a high enough demand to run this full-time and we will review this as needed. The materials and their uses: Stainless Steel 15-5ph provides high…
