Overview
Title: Success in Nitinol Additive Manufacturing-Effective Translation of Shape Memory and Super Elasticity Properties via 3D Printing

Date: Thursday, October 22nd, 2020**

Time:** 1:00 PM EDT**

Duration:** 30 minutes

Additive manufacturing of Nitinol allows the fabrication of complex device geometries with pre-designed porosity, homogeneous composition, high density, near net shape, and requiring very little or no post-processing. As Nitinol exhibits work hardening in conventional manufacturing processes, additive manufacturing presents unique opportunities in the production of medical devices.

Our webinar will explore three main areas of focus to enable successful use of Nitinol for AM:

  • 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
  • Producing fully dense, near net shape Nitinol components to eliminate additional post-processing steps
