BURGETTSTOWN, Pa., Nov. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- 6K Additive, a division of 6K, a leader in the sustainable production of engineered materials for additive manufacturing and lithium-ion batteries, and Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, one of the world's leading centers for contract research in laser development and application, announced today a collaboration to create a complete life cycle assessment (LCA) for additive manufacturing. The study will use sustainably manufactured Ni718 powder produced by 6K Additive, for an industrial component manufactured on a laser powder bed fusion machine to better understand the carbon footprint from material through additive manufacturing process and post-processing. Early results from the study will be on display at the Fraunhofer ILT stand # 51 Hall 11.

Key Points: 
  • "There are conflicting views on additive manufacturing regarding its environmental impact compared to traditional manufacturing.
  • "We also thought it was extremely important to evaluate the entire process, including powder manufacturing, which is why we partnered with 6K Additive, who has a proven method of sustainable powder manufacturing."
  • 6K Additive previously released two life cycle assessment projects for both titanium and nickel powders.
  • Frank Roberts, president of 6K Additive added, "We are excited to partner with Jasmin and her team at Fraunhofer ILT for this research.
