DEEP Manufacturing and Fortius Metals partner to make complex, multi-material metal parts production-ready at scale

Multi‑material printing could let us build valve blocks with 316L flow paths and hard‑faced seats in one piece, which would be a big win for uptime on drum fillers. How are you validating interface integrity and galvanic behavior at the material boundaries under caustic/PAA washdowns and thermal cycling? And what in‑situ monitoring/NDT are you using to control porosity and diffusion depth consistently across synchronized robots?

If your process can reliably print graded Al - Cu transitions, utilities could use this for bus joints and transformer pads to cut joint losses and galvanic issues. Have you validated conductivity, mechanical strength, and thermal cycling to ANSI C119.4 Class AA (and IEEE 837 for grounds), and what NDT/QA do you use across synchronized robots? Also curious how you control surface finish and edge radii for corona at 69 to 230 kV.
