New Equipment
We are pleased to announce that we have acquired more equipment to continue improving our manufacturing services: a CNC vertical mill to give printed parts a machined finishing, tight tolerances, as well as producing auxiliary parts; an automatic band saw that allows us to produce parts directly from the base plate, instead of punctual supports, […]
Conformal Cooling Channels
AM technologies allow the production of complex geometries, including molds and mold inserts with conformal cooling channels, which in certain cases are impossible to be obtained by other manufacturing processes. This technology represents possible huge improvements in the performance of molds, specifically on the cooling phase, reducing drastically the cycle times. Vítor Santos’ work focuses […]
Mechanical and Fatigue Characterization
Joana Melo is a senior student of the Master in Mechanical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto and is conducting her thesis at Hypermetal. Her work focuses on the characterization of the mechanical properties of metal parts produced by Laser Powder Bed Fusion, and more specifically on the study of […]

Students from FEUP and ISEP participate in Metal Additive Manufacturing workshop
On the first week of June, we had the pleasure to receive master’s students from FEUP and ISEP who participated in a Metal Additive Manufacturing workshop held by Hypermetal together with Renishaw. It’s a pleasure witnessing the interest shown by them in this technology and being able to contribute to their learning with hands-on experience. […]
Aluminum Jig Additive Manufacturing
Metal additive manufacturing can also be a feasible option for bulkier parts. In this case, a customized Jig is required for an assembly process. Replacing the solid interior by a lattice structure we can maintain the required external geometry and rigidity while reducing the material quantity. This optimization would be impossible to manufacture by traditional […]
