Apex provides vacuum heat treatments and wire EDM for additive manufacturing post processing.
Heat Treatment
Our state-of-the-art Specnow vacuum heat treatment furnace is designed for high-precision, customisable treatments and is highly suited for advanced heat treatments. With a maximum operating temperature of 1200°C, it is perfect for high-temperature processing, offering both high and low vacuum, and inert gas thermal cycles for partial pressure processing.
Heat treatment is a critical step in advanced manufacturing, which allows our customers to maximise the mechanical performance of their parts. With our Specnow vacuum furnace, Apex offers you the level of control, customisation, and quality assurance you won’t find elsewhere.
Wire EDM
At Apex, our Precision Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) service is designed to remove LPBF parts from build plates with precision and efficiency.
We employ the state-of-the-art GFMS Cut AM500, tailor-made for this crucial yet delicate operation. This high-performing machine can rapidly and cost-effectively handle build plates up to 500mm x 500mm in dimensions.
