BRIDGEWATER, N.J., May 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Messer, a leader in the safe and reliable production and delivery of industrial, medical and specialty gases, will showcase three gas-based technologies for improving the repeatable quality of metal 3D-printed parts at RAPID+TCT 2019, from May 21-23 in Detroit.

Messer, exhibiting in booth #1952, offers efficient industrial gas solutions for powder making, 3D printing and post processing.

Scaling Up AM Production Starts with Incoming Quality: Repeatable quality can be vital for the performance of aerospace, automotive and medical components, yet it becomes more challenging as geometries become more complex. Messer gas-technology solutions can improve quality control before, during and after additive manufacturing. This next-generation AM powder cabinet actively controls the storage atmosphere to protect sensitive powder metals before 3D printing.

"Aerospace, automotive and medical components demand reliable performance, yet moving from prototype to additive manufacturing (AM) at scale requires high quality repeatability to achieve successful build rates," said Chris Ebeling, Executive Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Messer North America. "We're excited to meet designers and manufacturers present at RAPID to improve the quality and consistency of their materials and processes before, during and after AM."
