Additive Manufacturing

Researchers probe metal that measures the highest toughness ever recorded.

Integrated into the Rafinex solution, the ModuleWorks software generates highly automated, collision-free toolpaths for PBF. The workflow enables users to quickly program resilient, high-performance parts for production where expert knowledge of the manufacturing process is not required. The pre-defined parameters assist engineers in optimising the workpiece geometry for the PBF process to generate a toolpath and NC code that automatically minimises material waste.

Global engineering technologies company Renishaw brings its latest end-to-end solutions for additive manufacturing to RAPID + TCT 2023 in Chicago.

A network of contract manufacturers enables IMI Critical and Velo3D to print the same certified part in six locations and three different countries.

Institutions and industry leaders partner to make targeted supply chain improvements using robotic and automation solutions.

The company's biggest challenge is not only finding people to work but finding those with enough knowledge to operate the equipment.

Researchers find more flexible, lighter downwind blades can handle stronger winds.

Traceability is an important part of production for additive manufacturing.

Printing cutting tools is appropriate when an application is suitable.

Although a variety of part traceability solutions are available for traditional manufacturing processes, including bar coding, laser etching and adding serial numbers and radio frequency identification, those technologies are not particularly efficient or effective for additively manufactured parts, which tend to have complex geometries and can be microscale, according to Cody Burke, co-founder and COO of SmartParts.
