Additive Manufacturing

Divergent Technologies has announced that it has entered into an agreement to purchase from Sigma Additive Solutions all of its in-process quality assurance technology suite assets, including all associated software and intellectual property.

Post-processing plays a pivotal role in additive manufacturing (AM) by bridging the gap between raw 3D-printed parts and their final functional forms.

Live Monitor provides easy access to system data from any web browser at any time. The new offering has helpful dashboards to manage a fleet or drill down on printer or furnace performance in ways that assist capacity planning, maintenance management, and more.

Meltio has launched the Meltio Robot Cell, a turn-key metal 3D printing solution to boost the performance of industrial robotic arms in a safer, more reliable, and highly accurate way by controlling the entire process.

Using the same interface Mastercam users are familiar with, APlus customers can program, backplot, and simulate their 3D printing scenarios just like they would with traditional toolpaths in Mastercam.

Density determination holds profound implications for an additive manufacturing produced component’s mechanical behaviour.

One of the challenges to broader adoption of 3D printing is how to examine a part to ensure it contains no hidden flaws that could affect performance.

Deep learning optimization not only transforms the geometry of a working 3D-printer component, but also improved the function of the key laser system that enables extreme acuity and therefore final product quality.

The IQM has been developed as part of the EU-project InterQ, aiming at zero-defect manufacturing. The solution monitors data quality continuously through newly developed algorithms and compliance logic.

The results of the study showed a 38% reduction in GHG emissions for the additive manufacturing process as compared to the traditional casting-based method.
