What is coldspray additive manufacturing?

Cold spray additive manufacturing is a technology used to create solid objects by spraying tiny particles of material onto a surface at high velocities. The process uses a small gas-powered nozzle to accelerate the powder particles to speeds of up to Mach 2, which causes them to bond together and form a solid layer on the surface.

The advantages of cold spray additive manufacturing include the ability to create complex geometries and structures with high precision and accuracy, as well as the ability to create fully dense materials with excellent mechanical properties. It is also a relatively fast and cost-effective process that can be used to create parts with high-quality surface finishes.

Cold spray additive manufacturing is often used in aerospace, automotive, and defense industries to create high-performance parts for use in engines, turbines, and other critical components. It is also used in the medical industry to create implants and other medical devices.
