Heat Shields

Heat shield construction with additive manufacturing is a novel technique that can produce complex shapes and structures for thermal protection systems. Additive manufacturing allows for greater design flexibility and customization, as well as reduced waste and cost. Heat shields are essential components for spacecraft, hypersonic vehicles, exhaust systems and internal combustion engines to combat the spread of heat into other systems.

By using additive manufacturing, heat shield designers can create optimized geometries and configurations that enhance the performance and reliability of the thermal protection systems. ADDere additive manufacturing can manufacture the components of a heat shield in any number of metal alloys including superalloys like titanium and Inconel. With additive manufacturing, components can be produced in unconventional shapes to fit the necessary application requiring fewer individual parts.

The ADDere laser wire additive manufacturing system specializes in producing 3D printed large-scale, near-net-shape parts in a variety of metals including Titanium, Inconel, Stainless Steel and other superalloys, as well as most Ferrous-based metals.

ADDere has these additive manufacturing capabilities as well as many more printing capabilities. Contact us today if your business is interested in 3D-printed heat shields.
