What's (Arguably) the AM Industry's Biggest Blind Spot? Looking at Toolpath Optimization in Isolation
Toolpath optimization is a critical enabler and a powerful lever, as you can improve part performance and reduce costs. But it's only one part of a much larger equation.
Mastering Powder Management in Metal Powder-Bed AM
We talk about "industrialisation" and "serial production." Then we manage one of the most critical variables in the entire process chain (the powder) like it's a static material that arrived with a certificate.
Innovation in Blue Laser Power in Industrial Wire DED 3D Metal Printing
In much of the wire DED space, you'll often see companies focusing on doing one part extremely well, like the deposition head itself for example. But in reality, system performance is dominated by how all these elements interact.
From Spreadsheet Survival to Digital Quality Backbone in Metal AM
The best engineers I meet are not short on knowledge. They're short on time. They're trapped in a loop of manual documentation, spreadsheet archaeology, and post-mortem investigations.
Metalworking Industry Sees Surge in Automation Adoption
While the basic steps in metalworking remain unchanged over the years, businesses increasingly rely on machines to complete them. While not unique to fabrication, this shift is seeing particular growth in the sector, so companies within the industry should pay attention.
Waste not, want not - rapid identification of metals in scrap
Handheld devices, such as XRF analyzers, offer recyclers tools to rapidly and accurately determine the composition and grade of incoming scrap. This eliminates the need to depend on traditional verification methods such as spark or chemical tests.
THE RISE OF AUTOMATION IN METAL AM POST-PROCESSING - TRANSFORMING THE INDUSTRY WITH PRECISION AND EFFICIENCY
We delve into how automation in metal AM post processing is setting a new industry standard, and how companies like Rivelin Robotics are leading this change with their Netshape® Robots to unlock new productivity and efficiency gains.
Why 3D Metal Printing Is Key to the Future of Aerospace Engineering
The aerospace industry constantly pushes the boundaries of what's possible, and the demand for advanced manufacturing techniques has never been more critical. This pursuit of innovation has led to a significant shift toward 3D metal printing.
CLEANING UP AM'S DIRTY SECRET
The fact that post processing metal parts requires such intensive manual intervention throws up a series of follow-on problems. These include part-to-part quality inconsistencies, repetition fatigue, significant health & safety risks.
