Additive Manufacturing

SCANLAB GmbH and 1000 Kelvin GmbH, developer of the Physics-AI platform AMAIZE, have announced an innovative integration for additive manufacturing. The partnership brings seamless execution of ‘Artificial Intelligence’ (AI) in interaction with innovative laser power distribution and thermal melt pool behavior in metal additive manufacturing to industry—a cornerstone for mass production in verticals such as consumer electronics, aerospace, and the energy sector.

Phase3D has successfully developed and deployed Fringe Inspection, Cold Spray, an innovative inspection system that enhances quality control in cold spray additive manufacturing.

ADDiTEC has launched its latest innovation, the AMDROiD X, a game-changing solution that redefines point-of-demand manufacturing and metal repair.

Additive manufacturing provides engineers with unprecedented design freedom, enabling the production of complex, bionic structures—particularly valuable in aerospace applications. However, ensuring the reliability of 3D-printed aircraft components has remained a challenge—until now.

The conversation around Additive Manufacturing (AM) has matured. No longer is the fascination solely about how we build parts, it’s about how we make them fit for purpose.

In a major advancement for 3D printing, researchers in the Whiting School of Engineering’s Department of Civil and Systems Engineering have developed a new 3D printer control method that promises to significantly improve 3D printing speed, precision, and material diversity for highly customized objects.

The LPBF process allows a high degree of freedom in the design of geometries. The reliable production of high-quality overhang areas (no defects, dimensional accuracy, surface roughness) is particularly challenging.
