Usefully understood as developing technology to repair, weld, and build metallic parts with fill impact welding, Applied Impulse - a spin out from Ohio State University - provides impulse manufacturing solutions utilizing electrical and optical pulsed power. The firm is structured around development of a manufacturing method that provides otherwise unachievable capabilities for welding, cutting holes, joining joints, ballistic additive manufacturing, and die forming and springback removal. The method does not use heat which eliminates metal fatigue and distortion that occurs in conventional joining methods. Technologies utilized include vaporizing conduction, electromagnetic induction, and laser-driven impulse. The company offers these solutions as products as well as custom R&D and training services.
