Bristol-based company is moving metal additive manufacturing from prototyping to commercial production

摘要

HiETA was founded in 2011 to develop metal additive-manufacturing (AM) methods for the production of complex light-weight structures for various types of heat-management applications. The parts manufactured include recuperators, turbo-machinery and combustion components for micro gas-turbines, phase-change heat exchangers for fuel cells and integrated waste-heat-recovery systems - plus components for highly efficient internal-combustion engines (including turbo-machinery and sections for handling exhaust gases).
