Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing

CS for AM

Cold spray (CS) is a near net-shape additive manufacturing (AM) technique that operates in the solid state, allowing for fast material deposition with minimal heat-related damage or warping. Its versatility in handling various materials and part sizes makes it an appealing option for advanced fabrication. By building structures layer by layer, cold spray enables the production of intricate shapes and internal features that are difficult or impossible to achieve with conventional manufacturing methods. Operating at atmospheric pressure, cold spray is not restricted by the size limitations of vacuum chambers or inert gas setups, making it highly scalable for a wide range of applications.
