The Awesome and Endless Possibilities of Additive Manufacturing

by

Promoted

Additive manufacturing technologies, also known as 3D printing, is a process that allows you to create physical 3-dimensional objects from a computer design file.

It could one day be responsible for the second industrial revolution. This technology started small and has continued to transform over the last thirty years and is quickly advancing.

One interesting thing about additive manufacturing technology is, it allows for a quick innovation. You can try out designs over and over again, and test out the physical part at the end of the design cycle.

There’s a wide variety of materials used in making these objects, for example, polymer composites, metals, ceramics, and exotic materials like gels.

It’s incredible what you can make with these materials.  [Read more…] about The Awesome and Endless Possibilities of Additive Manufacturing

Siemens launches additive manufacturing process simulation solution

by

Siemens has announced a new additive manufacturing (AM) process simulation solution for predicting distortion during 3D printing.

The product is fully integrated into Siemens’ end-to-end AM solution, which assists manufacturers in designing and printing parts at scale.

Building on Siemens’ comprehensive digital innovation platform and the Simcenter portfolio, the AM Process Simulation solution uses a digital twin to simulate the build process prior to printing, anticipating distortion within the printing process and automatically generating the corrected geometry to compensate for these distortions.

Beyond prototyping: Scaling up to additive manufacturing for production

by

By Charlie Wood, manager of computational engineering at Fast Radius

Most readers are likely well-acquainted with additive manufacturing – as a rapid prototyping tool, at least. And while many companies believe and perpetuate the myth that AM is only a prototyping tool, innovators in a range of markets (for example, aerospace, healthcare, consumer goods and more) are already using AM for production-grade manufacturing when design, performance and cost factors align.

Exploring AM as a means of production opens up design and performance possibilities simply not possible with CNC machining, urethane casting or injection molding. This article will cover how organizations can:

  • Identify if there’s a strong business case for switching to AM for your part or product.
  • Leverage design for additive manufacturing (DFAM) principles for a seamless transition from rapid prototyping to rapid production.
