During this webinar, Gaurav Lalwani, Ph.D., Medical Applications Development Engineer, and Hongtao Wang, Ph.D., Staff Specialist Metallurgist- New Product Development, discuss Nitinol for additive manufacturing. The webinar explores key areas of focus to enable successful use of Nitinol for AM, including the importance of stringent control of Nitinol chemistry throughout the additive lifecycle, from powder to finished part, matching print parameter sets to powder chemistry to effectively control over shape memory and superelastic properties for the finished device and producing fully dense, near net shape Nitinol components to eliminate additional post-processing steps.

Carpenter Technology and their branch of 3D printing experts, Carpenter Additive, carried out a study to create a systematic framework to optimize additive manufacturing for Nitinol, focusing on three factors for success:
