Bridgewater, NJ, USA, May 13, 2019 – Messer, a leader in the safe and reliable production and delivery of industrial, medical and specialty gases, will showcase three gas-based technologies for improving the repeatable quality of metal 3D-printed parts at RAPID+TCT 2019, from May 21-23 in Detroit.

Messer, exhibiting in booth #1952, offers efficient industrial gas solutions for powder making, 3D printing and post processing.

Repeatable quality can be vital for the performance of aerospace, automotive and medical components, yet it becomes more challenging as geometries become more complex. Messer gas-technology solutions can improve quality control before, during and after additive manufacturing. This portable control system precisely monitors and controls the inert atmosphere inside the 3D printer, and can quickly respond to changes in oxygen or humidity for reliably process control and reproducibility.
