Lightweight metals manufacturer Alcoa is investing $60 million to expand its research and development campus. Located near Pittsburgh at the Alcoa Technical Center in New Kensington, Pa., the project includes construction of a state-of-the-art additive manufacturing center. Supporting the implementation of Alcoa’s Ampliforge™ process, a technique combining additive and traditional manufacturing to enhance the properties of materials, the center will accommodate the production of proprietary metal powders engineered specifically for 3D printing. Completion is expected in early 2016.
