Fitting Deviation is a settable option in the GD&T family of tools available with Control X. When checking for a GD&T value, such as Flatness, this option enables you to not only see what the fit deviation is but also shows you the results in a clear unambiguous color map display. This lets you see the exact conditions of the surface and not just whether it is in or out of tolerance. For example, the [...]
The world’s first metal binder jetting system designed for machine shops, the Shop System is capable of printing complex metal parts with the benefits that standards machine shops expect: unparalleled productivity with superior print quality while maintaining high levels of accessibility throughout the entire process. In addition to process and product innovations, exceptional productivity, print quality, and reliability, the Shop System delivers another key benefit - the ability to both reduce costs and increase revenue. [...]
Reprinted from Fabbaloo Metal parts made on an Ultimaker S5 3D printer [Source: Ultimaker] Ultimaker announced the “Ultimaker Metal Expansion Kit”, which enables metal 3D printing on their S5 model. Metal 3D printing is usually a rather costly affair, involving specialized equipment, metal powder, complex HVAC environments, expensive post-processing equipment, sophisticated thermal simulation software, and a squad of engineers. As a result, it can be extraordinarily expensive to undertake and is applicable to [...]
Based in Karnes City, Texas, PGV has more than three decades of experience manufacturing equipment for the oil and gas, aerospace and robotics, and automation industries. Along with traditional manufacturing via CNC machining, the company is now moving into next-generation processes by integrating production-level metal 3D printing into their capabilities. “We could have chosen to invest in more CNC lathes or CNC mills, but we chose to go the additive manufacturing route because energy is [...]
A reprint from Additive Manufacturing. Binder jetting provides a way to create pure silicon carbide fuel structures that can withstand the harsh environment of a nuclear reactor and provide a strong barrier against the release of radionuclides. Dr. Kurt Terrani, the executive vice president at Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation’s Core Division, was on the team that developed a process for 3D printing silicon carbide at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. USNC licensed the technology for [...]
Automate the correct preparation of your materials for accurate, strong, and high-quality parts. The MMS enables connected productivity, repeatability and full traceability of the printing process. 3DGence MMS automates material storage, preparation, and post-print annealing – making successful printing of Ultra-Polymers like PEEK, ULTEM™, and Composites accurate and simplified. As the shift from prototyping to end-use parts has become a reality through industrial grade 3D printers and advanced materials, automation and pre-configuration ensures print success. [...]
On Tuesday, June 14, 2022, at 2 PM ET HP will be hosting a live virtual tour of the HP 3D Demo Center where they will be showcasing medical devices and equipment. At this event, you will discover the latest innovations in healthcare and medical applications and learn about HP Multi Jet Fusion Technology and how the HP 3D Printing End-to-End Process works to produce Medical applications. Agenda: How HP’s 3D Printing technology works Overview [...]
Metal 3D printing enables machine shops to cost-effectively 3D print end-use metal parts with unparalleled speed and productivity. Mass production metal 3D printing solutions offer service bureaus and machine shops an opportunity to service a broader set of customers with an expanded array of applications, ranging from one-offs to batch (or even mass) production of metal parts. Benefits such as assembly consolidation and geometric freedom allows service bureaus to extend the benefits of metal 3D [...]
