Aerospace & Defence

This CSM rapid prototyping modelling capability, enpowered with a laser sintering unit for rapid tooling technology development, both supports the needs of the foundry and offers advanced prototyping services to customers.

Aerospace and Defence clients can also find in CSM a stimulating technological partner where skills and equipments create the good condition for the development of powder technologies applications.

The possibility of the pilot plant to switch between nitrogen and argon, allows CSM powder technologies to give clients the opportunity to develop and fabricate all sorts of powder metallic alloys.

In this way CSM directs its efforts both towards the powder market as a supplier of specialised niche products and to research goals aimed at developing new sintered, cold and hot isostatic pressed or hardfacing and anti-corrosion coated solutions.

In this case, by matching the powder metallurgy expertise with a deep tribological culture, CSM has succeeded in becoming a reference center for what concerns components reliability and exercise life improvements.

That is possible at CSM due to its wide set of tecnologies (i.e.,Hot Pressing, Hot Isostatic Pressing, Plasma Spray, HVOF, PVD and CVD) which allows the design of surfaces characterized by peculiar operational properties.

Today CSM is also active in the ceramics and ceramic composites applications development. This empowers the CSM technological offer to cover sectors in the Aerospace and Defence industry interested in developing new ceramics ballistic protections for tanks, ships, aircraft and helycopters, thermal barriers or thermal shock coatings for new generation space reusable launchers, turbine blades and ceramics for electronic applications.
