Build Your Industry with 3D Prototyping Process!!

3D printing is not a new technology. It’s being used in industries for 30 years. In today’s world, however, industrial level 3D printing, known as additive manufacturing, and advanced CNC machining allow manufacturers to build up prototypes significantly faster and perform well on demand. AM can be implemented throughout all of the steps of the manufacturing process, from creating prototypes and producing supporting tools like jigs and fixtures to end part production. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWFF8qr0pyo Visual Prototypes When it was invented, 3D printing was mentioned as rapid prototyping, a method for automating and reducing the labor required to create a prototype model...

POWDERSOLVE Software Ensures Safety and Quality of Metal 3D Printing Materials

The casual user of a desktop 3D printer may not think of 3D printing as something that requires stringent regulations, and, when it comes to casual desktop use, it isn’t. Industrial additive manufacturing, however, particularly metal additive manufacturing, is a different beast. Because metal 3D printing is used for critical equipment in industries like medicine and aerospace, safety is of the utmost importance, and so the metal powders used in additive manufacturing need to be high quality, free of contaminants and material degradation. LPW Technology is one of the leading suppliers of metal powders for the additive manufacturing industry, and they’re...

Northwestern’s Low-Cost Tech Changes Rust into 3D Printed Iron

In order to bring down the cost of metal 3D printing, researchers and industrial R&D divisions are working on new approaches to the technology that forgo lasers and electron beams for other methods altogether. While XJet, in Israel, will be introducing its metal inkjetting to the world, hopefully, sometime soon, Northwester University scientists have their own metal inks that they say they can 3D print similarly to fused filament fabrication. We’ve actually covered the work of Ramille Shah, assistant professor of materials science and engineering in the McCormick School of Engineering and of surgery in the Feinberg School of Medicine,...

Arcam Sells Five Metal 3D Printers to China After CFDA Approves 3D Printed Medical Implants

All over the world people are living and working longer than ever before, resulting in a lifestyle that tends to be more active. However often an extended active lifestyle puts strain on the human body in expected ways, resulting in the need for joint replacement and enhancements. This need is driving the rapid advancement of new surgical techniques and new products to support these new stresses on the body. This is causing an explosion in the orthopedic implant market, and 3D printing is one of the advanced techniques driving its growth. While 3D printed implants and medical devices are fairly...

Know More about Powder Materials for Metal 3D Printing

Metals are the fastest-growing segment of 3D printing. The growth of additive manufacturing is tied to business opportunities and, directly, the materials available and their costs. Low-cost metal powders are the key enablers for 3D printing, to realize its potential and transform industrial production. Available metallic powders for additive manufacturing are mostly those being used in a range of applications (medical, aerospace, jewelry, automotive, etc.). A significant issue is the progressive degradation of metal powders during processing as a result of the powder bed being exposed to oxygen and other contaminants. There is large potential demand for cost-effective methods of...
