Innovative, Dynamic, Flexible Additive Manufacturing Solutions

At Wall Colmonoy, material science has been the cornerstone of our nearly 90-year legacy. Leveraging our deep expertise in metallurgy, we design and produce advanced Additive Manufacturing (AM) metal powders and components for a diverse range of industries, including:

Biomedical: Medical and Dental Implants – including both Partial Denture and Prosthetics
Food Processing: Durable and corrosion-resistant components
Oil & Gas: Wear-resistant parts for extreme environments like drilling and exploration
Automotive: High-performance brake discs
Motorsport: Lightweight, high-strength components
Aerospace: Heat exchangers and complex structural parts

Our capabilities extend to rapidly manufacturing tooling for investment cast parts or building tooling using a wide range of available powders.

AM Powders Include:

Wallex® CoCr
Wallex® 6, 12, 21, 1
Colferoloy™ SS 316L, 420, 430
Colferoloy™ 17-4 PH
Colferoloy™ D2, H13

Wall Colmonoy excels in producing parts layer by layer, integrating our in-house powder manufacturing know-how into every step. Our Additive Manufacturing Research, Design, and Technology Department draws upon nearly a century of materials development experience, enabling us to:

Collaborate Closely with Customers: Partner with customers to tailor AM powder design and development.
Ensure Quality and Performance: Evaluate powder and part performance through advanced laboratory testing, which can include mechanical, microstructural, and corrosion resistance analysis.
Optimize Dimensional Accuracy: Deliver precision-engineered parts to meet the highest industry standards.

Director of Technology at Wall Colmonoy Limited (UK), Chris Weirman states, “Additive Manufacturing provides significant benefits in part design freedom, prototype and part throughout, and more. However, one needs to consider powder material selection and application to ensure parts are optimised for performance and affordability, especially important for industries where costs are the main driver for volume adoption.”

Wall Colmonoy’s additive manufacturing solutions embody a blend of innovation, quality, and customer-centricity, ensuring we remain at the forefront of advancing metal powder and component technologies.

BENEFITS OF AM

Part Design Freedom
AM gives designers and engineers the freedom to imagine parts that would not be possible with any other manufacturing method. From complex internal features, cellular structures or tricky overhangs and undercuts, Additive Manufacturing offers a whole new range of possibilities.

Rapid Prototyping
Customers can cut production time from many months to a matter of weeks or days, with the freedom to make changes right up to the moment a part is printed. Teams can collaborate throughout the entire development stage as designs are tested, modified, and improved.

Part Throughput
Parts can be printed rapidly, with a batch being complete within one working day or shift.

Automation
Additive Manufacturing provides unmatched consistency and quality. The automated binder jet process produces perfect components each time.

Simplified Manufacture
Products that were traditionally made of several components can now be made from one as fasteners and welding are no longer needed. The need for multiple techniques such as roll forming, stamping and turning now are eliminated as the part can now be printed in one device.

Negative thermal effects created by traditional welding and brazing can be eliminated. Tooling and expensive tooling modifications are no longer needed.

Light-Weighting
By redesigning components for AM and removing material that is non-essential, AM components can be considerably lighter than a part made by other methods.
