SolidStir® Additive Manufacturing

SolidStir® Additive Manufacturing is a novel solid-state additive manufacturing process that builds components layer by layer without melting the material, using frictional heat and mechanical stirring to produce fully consolidated parts. The process is well-suited for high-performance alloys, dissimilar materials, and temperature-sensitive metals, delivering refined microstructures, improved mechanical properties, reduced porosity, and strong interlayer bonding for demanding applications.

SolidStir® Extrusion

SolidStir® Extrusion is an advanced solid-state manufacturing process that converts metal feedstock, including powders, chips, and recycled scrap, into fully consolidated extrudates without melting. Operating at significantly lower temperatures than conventional hot extrusion, the process supports efficient material utilization while producing dense, fine-grained extrusions with strong mechanical properties and excellent surface finish.

Flexible Manufacturing Where You Need It

SolidStir® solutions are flexible, reliable, adaptable, and easy to operate, providing practical options for evolving manufacturing requirements. They can be scaled to support on-demand manufacturing at the point of need. The technology can also be miniaturized for portable and expeditionary applications where manufacturing capability needs to be brought closer to the work. Existing milling machines can be converted into additive manufacturing machines, creating new capabilities from available equipment. These solutions help add value to existing infrastructure and resources while enabling manufacturing capacity to be built rapidly on demand.
