3D goes industrial: Accelerating the use of Additive Manufacturing across industries

-600+ experts from leading companies, academia and state officials expected at conference on October 10-11, 2018, at Technical University of Munich (TUM). -Hosts Oerlikon, TUM and Bayern Innovativ are supported by a strong industry partner network that includes Siemens, TÜV Süd, General Electric and Linde. -Keynote speakers will focus on Additive Manufacturing (AM) challenges and success stories, and will address ways to speed up the industrialization of AM. -Workshops with experts on second day will address topics such as AM transformation, hardware progresses and implementation of industrial AM for decision makers.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) - commonly referred to as 3D printing - is much talked about and celebrated as the key technology of the future. How can we speed up the industrialization of AM in order to improve industrial processes and the creation of new products? Which challenges have to be overcome, and how can we learn from market success stories? These and other questions will be discussed at the upcoming Munich Technology Conference (MTC2).


In this second annual conference, renowned experts from industry, academia and government will discuss the truly ground-breaking power of AM.

The interdisciplinary exchange about major challenges and opportunities posed by the broad industrialization of Additive Manufacturing is more relevant than ever. The consistent use of AM necessitates the complete rethinking of the manufacturing process at multiple levels. AM technology can be used to supplement or replace existing processes and can be used to improve upon weaknesses in others, for example in vehicle and aircraft construction.

More than 600 AM professionals from around the world are expected to participate in interactive sessions at the conference. On the first day, keynote speakers will address the key challenges and opportunities presented by AM. The second day will be dedicated to in-depth workshops, where participants will continue the first days discussions and address specifics such as AM hardware or materials.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
