Plural Additive Manufacturing Opens New Facility in Oregon
Delivers up to 50% savings on low-volume plastic parts and prototypes to companies in the United States
Plural Additive Manufacturing announces the opening of its new facility at 6455 Lakeview Blvd, Suite B., Lake Oswego, Oregon. The office and production areas will support the US market with equipment and services for a new generation of industrial 3D printing and Additive Manufacturing systems.
Compared to traditional manufacturing processes used for low- to mid-volume parts manufacturing, Plurals technologies achieve up to 50% cost per part savings. Plural achieves their savings and advanced performance through a number of factors such as:
Non-proprietary, open source, engineering grade thermoplastics
Three print nozzles for multi-material and soluble support material printing
A liquid-cooled print head enabling a wider range of materials including hi-temp and clear/FDA approved variants
HEPA air filtration, providing a healthy, particle, and odor free environment
Low acquisition, operation, and maintenance costs
Underscoring Plurals mission, says Tom McKasson, co-founder of Plural: "The terms 3D printing and Additive Manufacturing are often used interchangeably. The fact is, AM includes 3D printing and much more as part of a lean process in order to cost-effectively deliver low- to mid-volumes of plastic parts for end use applications."

Featured Product
FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
