DYEMANSION ANNOUNCES NEW LIMITED EDITION PRODUCT – THE DM60 BLACK LINE
2DYEMANSION CONTINUES PATH AS ENABLER OF AM SERIAL MANUFACTURING – ANNOUNCES NEW LIMITED EDITION PRODUCT - THE DM60 BLACK LINE With the DM60 Black Line, DyeMansion announces a special limited edition of their proven DM60 combined with a DM60 Reservoir. It is modified and purpose-built to focus on the black coloring of grey Powder Bed Fusion parts such as HP MJF or Stratasys SAF. The new process offers a real automated alternative to pot dyeing. The DM60 Black Line will come with the standard DyeMansion ISO certifications such as cytotoxicity and skin irritation. Users can save 50% cost per part and up to 50% cycle time compared to the classical DM60. Due to the possibility of reusing the process water for up to five dyeing cycles with the DM60 reservoir, the consumption of fresh water and the amount of wastewater are considerably reduced. This bundle is orderable until March 31, 2022. “The demand for coloring grey polyamide parts in black has significantly increased over the past years. The DM60 Black Line is our tailor-made solution to meet this demand in an industrial way with reduced cycle time and cost-per-part. Our customers can now dye their parts with this new developed process in the [...]
Desktop Metal Announces New Nickel Alloy 3D Printing Material
Desktop Metal Qualifies Nickel Alloy IN625 for High-Volume Additive Manufacturing With the Production System Hydraulic spools are a key oil & gas application that assist in adjusting the flow rates of control valves. IN625 is an essential material for these spools to ensure longevity and withstand highly corrosive environments in oil & gas. (Photo: Business Wire) Desktop Metal recently announced it has qualified the use of nickel alloy IN625 (IN625) for the Production System platform, which leverages patent-pending Single Pass JettingTM (SPJ) technology designed to achieve the fastest build speeds in the metal additive manufacturing industry. A nickel-chromium superalloy, IN625 is characterized by its high strength, resistance to corrosion and oxidation, excellent weldability, and ability to withstand extreme, elevated temperatures for parts under load. IN625 is a critical material used extensively in high-temperature aerospace applications, while its corrosion resistance under a range of temperatures and pressures also makes it an excellent choice across marine, power generation, and chemical processing applications. “As Desktop Metal continues to drive our internal R&D efforts to qualify more materials for the Production System platform, we are excited to offer customers an all-inclusive binder jetting solution to print fully characterized IN625 with excellent properties,” said Jonah Myerberg, [...]

ABS 3D Printing – Easy as PLA with MakerBot RapidRinse
ABS is one of the most popular manufacturing polymers in the world, but desktop 3D printing with ABS has always been challenging. Warped and failed prints, expensive wash tanks, and chemicals for dissolving support material have all been limiting factors. Now you can print and post-process ABS parts as easily, and consistently as PLA with the new MakerBot RapidRinse™ Fast-Dissolving Support Material. Be one of the first 100 to join the ABS revolution with MakerBot RapidRinse and get a FREE RapidRinse Super bundle when you purchase your METHOD X 3D printer: 6 spools ABS-R + 3 spools RapidRinse Fast Dissolving support material.

Metrology Minute – Geometry Deviation
Geometry Deviation is a tool for measuring essentially everything that might be relevant for size, orientation, and location for a specific feature. For example, when measuring geometry deviation for a cylinder, the criteria of interest would likely be the size, location, and centerline axis direction as they all compare to the nominal (exact) CAD model. As you review the data blocks below, Control X can compare the scan data values to the CAD data values and show the results in clear, unambiguous text blocks. “Paired” information is the data relative to the scan as it compares to the CAD model. The values are based upon the current coordinate system. To dig deeper into the ‘Form’ of any cylindrical feature on your part, Cylindricity may also be analyzed using Control X in order to check the general Roundness of a cylinder across the complete length of the feature. Min and max values for the Cylindricity test are shown below. Notice datum information isn’t required to test Cylindricity. As you may recall from last month’s Metrology Minute, Fitting Deviation Maps may also be turned on for each cylinder to dig deeper into exactly where Cylindricity may be off. In reviewing the isolated deviation color map, [...]
