On this episode of Additive Insight, our Executive Interview series with an interview with Frank Roberts, Group President at 6K Additive.
6K Additive has developed a unique plasma technology that can turn virtually any scrap metal into materials for additive manufacturing. Its UniMelt technology is the world’s only microwave production-scale plasma system and currently used to produce a number of materials such as titanium, Inconel and stainless steel, and most recently refractory metals.
Here, Frank talks to TCT about the latest developments in tungsten, rhenium and copper, the ability to upcycle and produce previously unachievable materials, and scrapping the belief that AM is an inherently sustainable process.
