New HIP

I keep asking myself how it is possible that I know that I know nothing. Even though I try to follow the events surrounding the heat treatment of metals in detail, with a delay of several months, I learned yesterday that Quintus installed a new HIP in Řež near Prague. More here:

QIH 21, usable dimensions dia 211, height 400 mm, max. weight 100 kg. So this is the same device as in Vibrom. Suitable for most 3D printing applications. So I’m curious how this will affect the situation on the 3D printing market.

If it could be done here, I would give it a thumbs up !!!!!
