Precise production timing
8 times weight reduction, 40% cost savings in comparison to metal tool
Shovel machines are used to convert mechanical motion into kinetic energy of a liquid or gas. They are used in impellers, turbines, turbopump units, fans, etc. It’s necessary to change the cross-section, thickness and inclination angle in different zones of the blade for higher efficiency.
Metal stamps are traditionally used as tools for producing such blades since they have a complex shape. Different blade shapes require different stamps that in case of metal tools leads to a significant cost and time spendings.
Weight and cost of the tool can be significantly reduced if it’s produced from composite materials by anisoprinting technology.
