Romar’s additive manufacturing expertise sets global standards
Romar is uniquely positioned to offer additive manufacturing for the commercial and industrial sectors.
Our technology includes the Concept Laser M2 Series 5 3D printer, and in partnership with Australia’s premier scientific research organisation, CSIRO, we are the first company in the southern hemisphere to own a DMG Mori Lasertec 65 3D 5-axis synchronous laser deposition, welding and milling machine. The Lasertec 65 is an elite 3D printer with enhanced capability.
It combines the flexibility of high-capacity additive manufacturing with precise, 5-axis milling. Our clients have exceptional flexibility to create innovative new parts and repair, replace or renew existing ones.
Fast, precise, flexible and scalable additive manufacturing solutions
Romar’s investment in additive manufacturing technology, including the DMG Mori Lasertec 65 3D printer, opens scalable manufacturing solutions that are unique to Romar. We are one of only two companies worldwide where this technology is commercially available.
With advanced metal on metal capability, the Lasertec 65 can create metal composites for optimum design and manufacturing flexibility. The Lasertec 65 is up to 10 times faster than a powder-bed-based system.
Coupled with its milling capabilities, this opens up new possibilities to manufacture larger parts faster and in greater volume.
The system can produce complex 3D geometries up to 500mm. And it can repair or coat complex parts like turbine casings and blades, guide vanes, impellers, propellers, blisks, multi-material components, tubes and molds with internal features. Parts require no treatment or modification prior to use.
In partnership with UTS (University of Technology – Sydney), Romar will soon add a Renishaw AS400 to its fleet of 3D metal printers – adding much needed capacity and capability.
Partnering with the CSIRO for additive manufacturing
Romar’s partnership with the CSIRO provides access to industry-leading additive manufacturing expertise and equipment, through its ‘Lab 22’ facilities in Lindfield (Sydney) and Clayton (Melbourne).
Our engineers understand new production techniques covering e-beam, laser, blown-powder, cold spray and sand printing, plus an array of characterisation techniques.
We can process refractory metals, Ti/Ti alloys, cobalt chrome, nickel alloys, steel/steel alloys, aluminium, silica sand and composites. The CSIRO offers world-class research in materials science, polymer chemistry, physics and engineering.
Servicing all industries with advanced manufacturing capabilities
Romar has extensive commercial experience that services a broad spectrum of industries. Our team works on advanced industrial and exploration projects that require a high-performance additive manufacturing partner. Our engineers are recognised globally for their expertise and excel at innovative solutions to precise and complex manufacturing challenges.
Romar engineers have received advanced training in creating previously impossible components in a 3D environment using materials such as stainless steel, nickel-based alloys (Inconel 625, 718), tungsten carbide matrix materials, bronze and brass alloys, chrome-cobalt-molybdenum alloys, stellite and weldable tool steel.
