Abstract
Harvest Technologies received an EOS M280 in April of 2013 for the production of metal parts through additive manufacturing (AM). Inconel 718 was chosen as a starting material due to its high-end applications in the oil and aerospace industries. Two major areas are of high priority in understanding the machine: (1) mechanical property characterization and (2) geometrical production capability through building prototype models. The following is a working document of Harvest’ progression in developing knowledge in the field of metals AM.
