Amorphous Casting
Amorphous Alloy Injection
Molding, also known as
amorphous metal casting, is
Unlike other metal injection
molding or injection molding
processes, Amorphous Alloy
parts come out of the mold in a
useable state and does not
require expensive sintering or
binder removal techniques.
Precision Machining
Direct Metal Laser Sintering
(DMLS) is a manufacturing
technology that uses a fiber
optic laser to fuse together
layers of metal powder. The
parts are "grown" additively,
layer by layer, to create fully
dense, complex parts within
hours directly from 3D CAD
geometry.

facility. We believe that quality
control is an integral part of
production. Our processes are
designed around the utilization
of statistical controls.
The Right Fit is more than the relationship.

Amorphous Metal Casting Complex Geometries in High Volumes
Competition Sensitive Visser Precision Proprietary Information
Amorphous Metal Casting, also known as Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG), is capable of
producing complex geometries in high volumes using multi-cavity tooling and a
proprietary robust low cycle time process.
• Our most common alloys are Zirconium-based.
– American made by Materion, a global leader in performance alloys.
The advantages of Amorphous Metal Casting
• Amorphous metal parts come out of the mold in a useable state and do not require
expensive sintering binder removal or stress relieving
• Cast tolerances can easily be +/- 0.001”
• Extremely limited shrinkage (roughly 0.2%)
• Almost-optical level as cast surface finish
• Unparalleled elasticity with hardness comparable to tool steel (54c)
• 1.46 times the strength to weight of titanium
• Salt spray tested corrosion resistance comparable to 300 series stainless steel

Additive Manufacturing Fusing Together Layers of Metal Powder
Competition Sensitive Visser Precision Proprietary Information
Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is a technology
that uses a fiber optic laser to fuse together layers of
metal powder.
• The parts are built up or grown additively, layer
by layer, to create a dense end product.
• Depending on the application, there are
recommended options for material condition:
– Stress-relief, Solution Heat Treat
– Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP)
The correct combination of conditioning strategies
coupled with the correct build strategy can bring
material properties to a high of 96% dense compared
to billet form

Precision Machining
Proof is in the Details We Take Precision Seriously, it’s in our Name
Competition Sensitive Visser Precision Proprietary Information
Advanced manufacturing capabilities require advanced inspection.
Quality and inspection are key to advanced manufacturing—and advanced
metrology and inspection capability set Visser Precision above its competition.
Developing and commercializing an advanced manufacturing process as complex as
amorphous metal casting required significant investment in material inspection
equipment. Our investment has also proven to complement powder-based
processes like our additive manufacturing program.
Our ability to dissect completed builds, and understand part densities from both cast
and additive processes is second to none. Even more critical to the additive process,
we are able to inspect powder size and shape from lot to lot before builds begin.
Lastly, our MTS test rig allows us not only to qualify and compare batches of cast
parts but also preform destructive test to additive build plate coupons.
