| Recently, the metal 3D printing company Sintavia announced a technical and commercial partnership with Japan's industrial gas supplier Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation (TNSC). As part of the deal, the two companies will develop and commercialize the gas flow process to optimize metal 3D printing. TNSC will also become Sintavia's co-investor.  Need good gas flow Metal 3D printing depends on the optimal gas flow, mixture and chemical composition in the 3D printer build chamber Poor gas flow or incorrect gas mixture can result in poor construction The resulting assembly may lack suitable mechanical properties and have high porosity rate. TNSC partnered with Optomec, a developer of metallic 3D printers, to provide high purity gases and gas mixtures for optimizing build chambers. Tadaharu (Ted) Watanabe, General Manager of Global Business Development at TNSC, explains: 'Over the years TNSC has developed proprietary solutions for industrial welding applications and we are pleased to be able to apply our many years of gas quality control and gas in exciting 3D printing applications Mobile experience. Watanabe added: "This partnership is an extension of our overall strategy in the additive manufacturing market through investments and partnerships with market-leading suppliers of laser metal deposition tools and metal powder suppliers." With Sintavia transactions This partnership is also commercial, which means that research and development between TNSC and Sintavia could be put on the market as part of a future Sintavia system or as part of a TNSC product portfolio. Last year, Sintavia expanded its new facility in Florida to Honeywell (Honeywell) Engineering provides the 3D printed aerospace components needed. Brian R. Neff, Sintavia's chief executive officer, said: "The dynamics of gas movement are both the most and the most overlooked factor and at TNSC we are working with industrial gas flow optimization leaders and we look forward to working together to develop and market Gas flow solutions that will benefit our mutual customers and lead to superior construction.
