FIT AG teases "Submerged Arc Additive Manufacturing" (SAAM) technology
The new technology aims to create large-format metal elements
FIT AG has announced the development of a new additive manufacturing technology called Submerged Arc Additive Manufacturing (SAAM). The company claims it could fundamentally change the production of large-format metal components. SAAM enables efficient and cost-effective production of parts weighing over 50 kilograms.
The SAAM technology is part of the research project "I AM Huge," which was developed at the Parsberg-Lupburg Technology Campus. The project's goal is to test and further develop the market viability of this technology to adapt it to the specific requirements of the industry.
Unfortunately, nothing more is known beyond what can be inferred from the photos of the first 3D prints. It appears that SAAM is a variation of the DED method; however, we will have to wait until mid-October for more details.
In the meantime, FIT AG is inviting companies to consult on the new technological solution, assuring full confidentiality.
