Additive Manufacturing

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.

Currently, to develop a lightweight carbon fibre element, or to build a topologically optimised concrete floor slab, buyers would have to wait months.

Advanced technology being developed by a global consortium of companies and academic institutions could revolutionise the use of industrial additive manufacturing bringing the advanced manufacturing of high-value components for key industries.

Since its foundation, Elem Additive Solutions has been a leader in LMP technology and a key part of Xerox’s culture of innovation.

SLM Solutions has announced that it will add the Adira AddCreative technology to its portfolio.

Fraunhofer IAPT in Germany commissioned an independent study of the various AM density determination technologies available.
