We hosted exclusive tours of our state-of-the-art materials characterization, #metrology and #metallurgy Lab at the Nikon Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center in Long Beach, CA! ? Ivan Del Castillo, Mohammad Pourshams and Dr. Behrang Poorganji of Nikon AM Synergy Inc. gave industry and government leaders a behind-the-scenes look at the cutting-edge advancements in precision measurement and material science driving the future of manufacturing. ? “Materials characterization and metrology are crucial in metal additive manufacturing to ensure quality, performance, and reliability of printed components especially when it comes to #aerospace and #defense applications. Our Metrology and Materials Characterization Center has capabilities to assess and characterize powder, microstructure, composition, porosity, physical and mechanical properties of materials which are critical in structural integrity and part performance. Metrology enables checking precise dimensional accuracy, surface finish evaluation, and defect detection, essential for meeting stringent industry standards. Advanced characterization methods such as X-ray computed tomography (XCT), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) provide insights into defects, grain structure, and phase evolution. It is extremely unusual and very beneficial in serving our customers more effectively and efficiently to have all these capabilities centrally located.” said Dr. Poorganji. ? Whether you're engaged in aerospace, defense, #energy or other manufacturing sectors, the AM Technology Center is where innovation meets precision.
