TESCAN Announces Seminar on Additive Manufacturing Applications Using Micro-Computed Tomography

Seminar will cover the basics of micro-CT, provide examples of imaging 3D printed samples, and discuss the future of micro- and dynamic-CT.

Brno, Czech Republic, March 2, 2021―TESCAN ORSAY HOLDING a.s. announces a new seminar on micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) for additive manufacturing (AM), "Micro-CT and Additive Manufacturing: Moving from 3D to 4D," which will take place online March 17, 2021.


"TESCAN is launching a new Spring Seminar Series as a way to keep our current and potential customers up-to-date with the latest technology, techniques, and applications," said Maroš Karabinoš, Global Marketing Director, TESCAN. "Each online seminar will be instructed by a market segment expert. The March 17th seminar will cover the basics of micro-CT, provide examples of imaging 3D printed samples, and discuss the future of micro-CT, including dynamic-CT, where samples are continuously scanned at high rates while undergoing change, either naturally or induced. We carefully selected the topics and ‘best practices' that we feel are important to share in an effort to help our customers succeed."

Micro-CT is a non-destructive technique used to create highly detailed 3D volumes of intact samples. It is widely used throughout an AM part's lifecycle, including process development, process monitoring, and final part quality. TESCAN micro-CT products meet this challenge head-on, providing maximum flexibility and versatility, as well as opening up the possibility to perform 4D studies on samples.

If you'd like to learn more about this exciting topic, please join us to see the possibilities that micro-CT brings to the additive manufacturing space! For more information about the seminar and to register, visit: https://www.tescan.com/tescan-spring-seminar-series-2021/.

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.
