Each of Bastion’s printers features a single laser that melts the fine layer of titanium powder in place. The process is basically like welding metal, but rather than melting pre-existing metal pieces together, it happens one dust particle at a time. “The metal 3D-printing we do is with titanium, and we run two Renishaw machines that use a laser to melt titanium powder layer by layer,” explained Woolcock of how the parts build up in an additive fashion. Pieces are rarely printed separately instead Bastion assembles those pieces like a puzzle to gain efficiencies from the printers.
