Increasing a product’s material performance is vital for its continued success. In some instances, introducing a new material is the only way to attain the needed properties for a new or existing product. In this regard, we support our customers’ needs by going beyond the ability to expand the additive manufacturing (AM) materials library. We offer them “Materials Freedom” — the freedom to customize AM materials and properties to benefit their unique need and the freedom to quickly introduce more efficient and effective products.
Materials freedom is obtained by combining our proven RAM technology with solid understanding of materials and how they interact, allowing for engineered material compositions and properties to meet our customers specific application requirements. We work in close collaboration to ensure that your customized material can be readily adopted in production by verifying the materials are comparable to or exceed existing process technologies.
Materials freedom not only benefits product performance, it helps boost sales, gain market share and increase brand loyalty. Equally, customized additive materials give customers a competitive advantage by differentiating their products from those of their competitors.
Our #1 goal is to provide customers with AM materials and property freedoms so they can successfully integrate their tailored materials with the powerful design freedoms of AM.
1. Do you have a strategic outcome you hope to achieve?

Tyler’s message will key on blown powder Directed Energy Deposition (L-DED) for AM and repair and why this process is being realized by industry as one of the key pillars in printing thin wall part structures and large part envelope requirements.
Shawn will reveal how Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM) is producing high resolution, high performance technical ceramics that can serve a wide range of applications and structural materials, such as alumina, zirconia, and silicon nitride. He will also touch on how LCM has progressed into multi-material components incorporating ceramics and metals.
Jeff’s presentation will focus on the advances in wire DED, including welding processes for wire DED (arc, laser, and e-beam), next-generation alloys for large format metal 3D printing, and use cases that can benefit from replacing large forgings, replacing large machined billets, and producing advanced tooling — enabling next generation designs.
Dr. Jacob Nuechterlein is the founder and president of Elementum 3D in Erie, CO. He earned his Bachelor of Engineering, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy at the Colorado School of Mines. Jacob has been researching, teaching, or consulting on topics such as casting and powder metallurgy for the last 14 years. Elementum 3D’s work with powder bed laser additive manufacturing is based on these principles. In addition, is thesis work in thermodynamics and formation kinetics of metal matrix composites is directly related to all 3D printing processes.
