Sigma Labs Creates New Directed Energy Deposition Application
A partnership with Northwestern University expands in-process quality assurance technology across a broad array of 3d printing processes.
How to Minimize Post-Processing Headaches for 3D-Printed Parts
Although 3D metal printing is becoming more popular, finishing remains a challenging and arduous task. Understanding how post-processing works and how to measure results will help you optimize this crucial step.
Additive Manufacturing for Air, Land, Sea, and Space Applications
Sciaky’s wire-based electron beam additive manufacturing (EBAM) 3D printing technology is faster, less expensive, and safer than other direct energy deposition (DED) options. Closed-loop adaptive control system ensures precision and repeatability.
Sintavia and Siemens Agree to Collaborate on Accelerating Digital Automation for Industrial Additive Manufacturing
Sintavia will provide Siemens with software testing and technical feedback in exchange for access to pre-released additive manufacturing software.
VELO3D Qualifies Hastelloy X for Sapphire 3D Metal Printer
A new process enables the industrial gas turbines market to print components it couldn’t before, including those that must withstand extreme high temperatures.
Engine Maker Uses 3D Metal Printing to Optimize Cylinder Redesign
Like Renishaw’s other additive manufacturing (AM) systems, the laser-based AM 400 powder bed fusion printer builds complex components directly from digital CAD files. This came in handy for a Michigan engine developer trying to optimize drone performance.
Fabrication Windfall: Machine Control Hardware, Software and Cloud-Based Services
Take a look at Siemens’ solutions and services for the fabrication and additive manufacturing industries. Noteworthy in the lineup: Sinumerik Motion Control (MC) system, an open, industrial PC-based controller with embedded CNC and PLC.
3DEO Ships 150,000 Production Parts
Founded just four years ago, the milestone demonstrates 3DEO is realizing its mission in the metal additive manufacturing market.
Automated Laser Cladding for 3D Metal Additive Repair
Optomec integrates Fanuc LRMate 200 robotic loading with its Huffman line of production 3D metal additive repair machines for high-volume turbine work and myriad industrial applications. Autonomous batch processing expedites cycle times and frees the operator to add value elsewhere.
3D Printing in Aluminum F357 for Thin-Walled Heat Transfer Applications
Aircraft-grade alloy is ideal for additive manufacturing of aerospace, military, and defense components, making it a logical addition to VELO3D’s portfolio. The 3D printing of parts can actually replace applications where casting is used.
Good News for Transportation, Aerospace: DED Developed for Aluminum 3D Printing
Optomec’s LENS Directed Energy Deposition systems feature advanced capabilities for use in additive manufacturing and repairing aluminum alloys. Its process parameters for aluminum alloys now provide excellent surface finish, high deposition rates and a density of ~99.9%, says applications engineer.
VELO3D’s First Meter-Tall 3D Metal Printer Sold to Knust-Godwin
The next-generation Sapphire machine will print up to 1 meter in height, making it the tallest laser-powder additive manufacturing system. It’ll debut its patented SupportFree process in the creation of industrial parts in the oil and gas industry.
