Additive Manufacturing Media

Additive Manufacturing Media We are the media brand devoted to industrial applications of 3D printing technology. Instead, we speak to a manufacturing audience.

Additive Manufacturing is devoted to industrial applications of 3D printing and digital layering technology to make functional parts. We don’t cover 3D printing as it relates to making design models, movie props, sculpture or swimwear (sorry). We are exploring the use of additive manufacturing to make tooling, molds and functional prototypes, along with the ultimate aim of manufacturers: end-use p

roduction parts. We report on the promise of additive manufacturing in these applications. We also report on the pitfalls. Staff members write about successes with additive manufacturing and the hard roads that led to those successes.

PIC OF THE WEEK 📸 This week’s Pic is an example of how 3D printing can be used to circumvent extended lead times for metal parts.

This funnel cover is used on US Navy submarines and are frequently replaced. HAMR Industries LLC applied cold-spray 3D printing to manufacture a near-net-shape part that was machined to final dimensions.

stats:
❄️Process: Cold-spray directed energy deposition (DED) performed by HAMR Industries
🚤Machine: WarpSpee3D from SPEE3D
📆Conventional timeline: 9 to 12 months
⌛Production time with 3D printing: 1 week

PIC OF THE WEEK 📸 This week’s Pic is of a structural component for the Boeing 787. In the background is the form made via Rapid Plasma Deposition (RPD), a wire-fed method of directed energy deposition (DED) developed at Norsk Titanium. In the foreground is its final form after finish machining.

Why wire-fed DED? It offers a way to make titanium parts with forging-like properties at a lower cost.

stats:
🧵 Material: Titanium 6Al4V
🖨️ Process: Rapid Plasma Deposition
🔥 Heat treating: None required to proceed to machining
⚖️ Final weight: 0.45 kg

New innovations that have more than one use case bring benefits over the long term and are a better investment in the first place. Here’s our quick explainer on what dual-use means and why America Makes (and others) are invested in such technologies.

What Is Dual-Use Technology? This term was new to me when I first heard it at MMX this year but it makes a ton of sense in the context of America Makes, and for new technology development generally. Here's my recap 👇👇 Long story short: New innovations that have more than one use case bring ben...
