Our PAX3D Process

Industries such as aerospace, electronics, tooling, and energy demand materials that can withstand high mechanical loads while efficiently dissipating heat.

• High-conductivity metals like copper and aluminum lack the strength to survive demanding environments.
   
• High-strength steels and titanium alloys suffer from poor thermal conductivity, causing overheating and failure.
   
• Exceptional options like tungsten or molybdenum are costly, heavy, and difficult to process.
   
• Even with Additive Manufacturing (AM) cooling channels, the bulk material remains a thermal bottleneck.
   

Result: performance losses, downtime, and costly thermal management add-ons.

PAX3D is Formions’ proprietary Pressure Assisted 3D metal infusion technology — a breakthrough hybrid process combining AM with a patented infusion step, seamlessly integrated with heat treatment.

• Hybrid Architecture: High-strength outer shell (up to 1400 MPa) fused with a thermally conductive reinforced core (>700 MPa).
   
• Thermal Performance: Conductivity of 150–200 W/m·K, several times higher than steels, ensuring rapid heat dissipation and longer part life.
   
• One-Part, Multi-Function: Structural strength + thermal regulation integrated into a single engineered component.

Unlike conventional AM or fully solid metal approaches, PAX3D:

• Cuts cost by reducing AM print volume, saving material and machine time.
   
• Eliminates extra processing — hybridization is embedded within post-processing.
   
• Optimizes performance-to-cost ratio, enabling industrial adoption at scale.
   
• Unlocks design freedom with site-specific property tuning using graded lattice structures.

With PAX3D, components are no longer bound by single-property trade-offs.

• Aerospace & Defense: Lightweight, thermally optimized, high-strength parts for extreme environments.
   
• Energy & EV Systems: Heat-critical components with enhanced reliability and longer service life.
   
• Tooling: Inserts and dies with conformal cooling and high wear resistance.
   
• Medical Devices: Tailored mechanical and thermal performance within complex geometries.
   

PAX3D redefines what is possible — stronger, cooler, smarter parts built for the future of manufacturing.
