DEPLOYABLE MANUFACTURING CENTER (DMC) SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING METAL PARTS

WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/060661

A8

A deployable manufacturing center (DMC) system [10] includes a foundry module [12] containing a metallurgical system configured to convert a raw material into an alloy powder [48], and an additive manufacturing (AM) module [14] containing an additive manufacturing system configured to form the alloy powder [48] into metal parts. The deployable manufacturing center (DMC) system [10] can also include a machining module [16] containing a machining system configured to machine the metal parts into machined metal parts, and a quality conformance (QC) module containing an inspection and evaluation system configured to inspect and evaluate the metal parts. A process for manufacturing metal parts includes the steps of providing the deployable manufacturing center (DMC) system [10]; deploying the (DMC) system to a desired location; forming an alloy powder [48] from a raw material using the deployable foundry module [12]; and then forming the metal parts from the alloy powder [48] using the additive manufacturing (AM) module [10].
