LAKE MARY, Fla-(Business Wire)-Fonon Corporation’s (OTCQB:MBMI)(“Fonon”) 3D metal additive manufacturing systems are designed around the end-user’s application optimized for a specific metal NANO-powder. Each 3D FUSION™ system incorporates application specific laser beam shaping techniques and temperature processing profiles to address the unique density, melting point and thermal expansion properties of the end-user’s desired metal material. With new processing innovations, end-users reduce the risk of undesirable anomalies like micro-fractures or inconsistent variations from unit-to-unit. Coupled with Fonon’s proprietary FiberFUSE™ additive manufacturing laser, end-users have new tools to control density and beam-spot size with the industry’s fastest through-put rate with laser wattages up to 2KW.
| Metal | Density: (kg/m3) | Melting Point: (°C) | Coefficient of Expansion: 10-6 m/m/oK |
| Aluminum | 2712 | 660 | 22.2 |
| Titanium | 4500 | 1670 | 8.6 |
| Stainless Steel | 7740 | 1510 | 17.3 |
| Inconel | 8497 | 1408 | 12.6 |
| Nickel | 8908 | 1453 | 13.0 |
NANO-powder metals have different densities, melting points and thermal expansion rates. The technical specification and quality requirements of each industry application is different. Each of Fonon’s 3D FUSION™ metal printing systems are optimized for the desired metal type designed around the unique requirements of each end-user’s application from a bottom’s up approach matching the dynamics of the application to the best-fit 3D printing technique. Fonon’s 3D FUSION™ systems with laser beam shaping and temperature processing profiles coupled with the industry’s first FiberFUSE™ additive manufacturing laser provide pioneering technology advancements ensuring the consistent, uniform melting of the metal NANO-powder while improving long-term product reliability.

When is the right time to upgrade your Fiber laser marking and engraving system?
June 1, 2015
Fonon Corporation’s Industrial-grade marking and engraving systems are designed to be maintenance free with a MTBF of 50,000 hours, equating to two decades of trouble-free operation based on typical usage. After 4-5 years, however, the capital equipment depreciation has accounted for the investment, the warranty has expired and odds of an unplanned service requirement increases with each passing year.
Generally, the time to purchase a new system is when a manufacturer expands their production lines. However, if forecasted revenue growth suggests your marking and engraving system is approaching capacity, Fonon Corporation recommends upgrading your fiber laser from 20W to 50W to materially reduce processing time and increase production throughput.
Upgrading your existing fiber laser marking system makes good business sense for a number of reasons:
▪ Significant capacity increased with upgrade to 50W Fiber laser
▪ New 2-year warranty with new i-series hardware
▪ Free software upgrade for compatibility with current operating system
▪ Includes system health diagnosis, Final QC and overall system clean-up
▪ Ease of availability of operational versus capital equipment funding
Taking the proactive measure to upgrade and renew an older laser marking system is a smart, cost-effective way to increase production capacity while extending the life of your current system. Contact your Fonon representative now to explore the benefits of upgrading.
