This type of advanced manufacturing includes 3-D printing, powder-bed laser printing systems, fused deposition modeling and other processes that involve complex assemblies from continuous material. Benefits include reducing failure points in the system and reducing weight, complexity and thermal dissipation...
Examples of industrial cases of additive manufacturing of metal partsVeli Kujanpää
Since it was introduced, 3D printing technology has already increased manufacturing productivity. In the long-term, it has the potential to massively disrupt both the manufacturing, logistics, andinventory managementindustries, especially if it can be successfully incorporated intomass productionprocesses. ...
Because the company had partially completed the manufacturing process, the good can often be delivered faster to customers than under MTO processes. However, there is still the risk of being stuck with an inventory of forecast demand that does not materialize. In addition, the company risks losing...
New Metallurgy of Additive Manufacturing in Metal: Experiences from the Material and Process Development with Electron Beam Melting Technology (EBM) Shen, New metallurgy of additive manufacturing in metal: Experiences from the material and process development with electron beam melting technology (EBM), ...
This paper provides a brief review of relatively new additive manufacturing technologies for the fabrication of unusual and complex metal and alloy products by laser and electron beam melting. A number of process features and product microstructures are illustrated utilizing 3D optical and transmission el...
Ansys simulation technology continues to evolve to meet the needs of engineers who use simulation software to create innovative products, systems and processes. The Ansys Mechanical user interface So, without further ado, here are three structural analysis examples that highlight the importance of simul...
Over the years, the possibilities offered by additive manufacturing technologies have had significant influence on the automotive industry. For both global car manufacturers and small service workshops, the implementation of 3D printers has made it possible to cut costs, shorten lead times, or fabricate...
Tim Cook, an American business executiveand industrial engineer who is CEO of Applic Inc., once said: “The right focus for the U.S. is on advanced manufacturing – something that requires innovation.” The intricacies of manufacturing processes often require a collaborative effort between engineers...
3D printers are based on a technique called additive manufacturing. They create a physical three-dimensional object from a CAD (computer-aided design) or digital model. It involves adding materials (such as powder grains or composites or bio-materials) layer by layer at the millimeter scale. ...
