The design freedom provided by additive manufacturing (AM) or ‘3D printing’ technology is an important enabler in cutting-edge product innovation. As part of the revolution in digital manufacturing, AM can radically simplify the production of complex p
Learn about the process chaining in Additive Manufacturing. Submitted byAkash Periyasamy, on June 09, 2022 From CAD description to physical result, AM involves several steps. The process will vary depending on the product. It is likely that smaller, simpler products make use of AM only for vis...
Additive Manufacturing Process ChainA series of steps goes into the process chain required to generate a useful physical part from the concept of the same part using additive manufacturing processes.doi:10.1007/978-3-319-55128-9_2Li Yang
Its drawbacks, however, are the low productivity, the limited part size and the high energy consumption for powder production and melting during manufacturing. This paper explores the potential of combining metal forming and additive manufacturing to new process chains from the viewpoint of energy ...
This paper introduces an innovative process chain for the generation of mold elements based on multi-metal additive manufacturing. Starting from an indirect tooling approach for the fabrication of a mold master with optical surface quality, three different additive processes, namely electroforming, thermal...
Additive manufacturing, also known as3D printing, is a process used to create a physical (or 3D) object by layering materials based on a digital model. Unlike subtractive manufacturing, which creates its final product by cutting away from a block of material, additive manufacturing adds material ...
The additive manufacturing process chain with protection and monetization capabilities included CodeMeter represents a crucial link in the process chain, taking over protection and license management for all components involved. The CodeMeter encryption technology for the 3D designs and print jobs is avail...
Additive manufacturing of the highest product quality requires the synchronization of all steps - from the digital data set to printing and material selection. Experience the complete process chain for additive manufacturing - from development to post-processing of the manufactured components. ...
