Software to Automate Build Preparation, Monitor the Build Process
Renishaw offers QuantAM Dental to cut build preparation time for hundreds of dental frameworks in a single operation, and InfiniAM Spectral to analyze process monitoring data in real-time.
Advanced Post Processing for Leaner Additive Manufacturing
By combining heat treatment and cooling into a single process for stress relief, heat treating and aging of parts in a single cycle, the QIH 60 hot isostatic press from Quintus reduces the number of steps in the production line to accelerate the AM process.
Another Way to Build Complex Parts with Dissimilar Metals
Laminated object manufacturing uses diffusion bonding to fuse thin layers of similar or dissimilar metals together and build complex metal parts with internal passageways for conformal cooling, heat exchangers, liquid/gas dispensing and other difficult applications.
Next Generation Controlled Atmosphere DED Systems
LENS CS 600 and CS 800 Controlled Atmosphere (CA) DED systems from Optomec provide high cost-to-performance ratios on demanding jobs ranging from precision deposition to cladding applications.
Hybrid Systems Finish 3D Printed Parts in Single Setups
Hybrid multi-tasking technologies from Mazak combine both additive and conventional subtractive processes to eliminate work-in-process, reduce lead times, improve part accuracy, shorten setup times and streamline processes.
Game Changer: 3D Printing H13 Tool Steel
For manufacturers of high volume plastic parts and those building injection molds or tooling for high strength, high temperature applications, this hot-work tool steel from Markforged can now be printed with unique and complex geometries to accelerate their speed to market.
Why the Cheapest Powder Doesn’t Produce the Cheapest Parts
Additive manufacturing may be at the cutting edge of production technology, but LPW Technology proves how the old rule still applies when it comes to the quality of material: buy cheap, buy twice.
Sawing 3D Printed Parts
Using an integrated 180 deg turning device and intelligent control system, the automatic KASTOwin amc band saw from KASTO makes individual precision offcuts of 3D printed components with maximum productivity and safety.
3D Printed High-Strength Aluminum
HRL Laboratories commercialized their 3D printed high-strength aluminum and obtained the first-ever registration of an additive alloy from the Aluminum Association.
3D Printing at a High Price/Performance Ratio
The economical Pro 3 additive platform from FELIXPrinters provides dual extrusion functionality, the ability to switch to a stainless steel nozzle for carbon reinforced printing, a larger build plate size and extreme layer resolution with low failure rates.
Another Milestone at Gema USA
General manager Chris Merritt celebrates 35 years of service with the company.
The Power of Additive Machining
The Additive Machining module in Edgecam 2019 R1 software from Vero accurately guides a laser as it deposits material to build a shape using direct energy deposition, then uses advanced rotary and five-axis milling cycles to finish the final shape.
