M&I WOLFMET 3D - Typical Tungsten Components
Wolfmet 3D, developed by M&I Materials Ltd, leverages a sophisticated selective laser melting (SLM) technique for additive manufacturing. This process involves the use of a high-powered laser to meticulously fuse layers of pure tungsten powder. The result is the creation of highly intricate and precise components such as collimators and radiation shields used in medical imaging systems like PET, CT, SPECT, MR, and X-ray. One of the significant advantages of Wolfmet 3D is its rapid turnaround time, enabling the production of components in days rather than weeks. This efficiency, coupled with cost-effectiveness, has made Wolfmet 3D a game-changer in the design and manufacturing of collimators and shielding. Ongoing pre-clinical studies indicate that 3D printed tungsten collimators substantially enhance image quality. Wolfmet 3D's ability to produce standard as well as complex bespoke designs provides measurable benefits to its users, ensuring superior performance and application-specific solutions in medical imaging.
