Laser Deposition Head Optimizes DED Processing
Optomec’s LENS LDH 3.X brings the flexibility and versatility to build, repair, coat, and clad parts into one deposition head. Variable optics system that creates three focused spot sizes optimizes directed energy deposition (DED) processing across a range of parts and applications.
3D Metal Printer Is 40% Faster Than Predecessor
The DMP Flex 350 from GF Machining Solutions is the successor to 3D Systems’ ProX DMP 320 3D metal printer. Consistent repeatability is achieved with its pure, low-oxygen environment during printing.
Sustainably Sourced Metal Powders for Additive Manufacturing
6K’s UniMelt microwave plasma platform converts recycled material into premium powder. The technology processes almost any metal type, alloy, or ceramic feedstock, which means any alloy that’s machined has the potential to become powder.
Exact Metrology Set to Open New Center in Moline
Software and hardware training for customers will be a major focus of the new location.
Subscription Pricing Introduced For Nesting Software
Hypertherm offers purchasing alternative on ProNest LT for use on smaller CNC cutting tables.
Custom Toolpaths Automate Metal Additive Repair of Titanium
AutoCLAD technology on LENS metal 3D printing systems from Optomec generates a custom toolpath for each part to automate the repair of reactive metals like titanium in a controlled argon atmosphere.
Additive Manufacturing Path Optimizer
AM Path Optimizer simulation technology from Siemens helps maximize the production yield and quality of powder bed fusion manufactured parts by solving overheating challenges and reducing scrap.
Metal AM Shifts from Prototypes to Production
By the end of 2022, production applications will account for 60 percent of market value from all produced components annually .
Optomec Reaches Milestone
They deliver their 500th industrial 3D printer.
Ingersoll Awarded Contract for Giant Telescope
The $135 million Giant Magellan Telescope structure contract will require nine years to complete.
