MTI will provide examples of industry specific manufacturing solutions utilizing additive manufacturing, precision machining, and press forming techniques at booth #314, center-floor, next to NASA. Please stop by and see what’s new at MTI!
For over thirty years MTI has produced critical components required to place satellites in orbit and carry cargo and supplies for various space missions. Our specialized expertise includes manufacturing propulsion applications requiring high-temperature alloys using precision forming processes, additive manufacturing, CNC machining and turning, proprietary deep-draw forming and forging.
Metal Technology forged thrusters have most recently been used for the Orion Spacecraft, built by Lockheed Martin / Astrium and deployed by NASA. In the future the Orion Spacecraft will serve as the platform for the first manned mission to Mars. Additionally, MTI fabricated niobium-based alloy chambers for the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) HTV1 & HTV2 missions which delivered critical supplies to the International Space Station.
In July 2015, MTI expanded their additive manufacturing offering to include Inconel 718 alloy using direct metal laser printing with the lowest oxygen content currently available in the industry. The company also offers 3D printing in Stainless Steel 17-4PH and will share further advances in their initiatives to produce C-103 alloy printed parts.
