Additive manufacturing aids “subtractive” CNC machining. We first saw this tool in an early version last year. See the video in this post.
Knight Carbide's insert delivery times had to wait on custom tooling, so they acquired a Mojo desktop 3D printer from Stratasys to make their own. Lead times for insert carriers were shortened from weeks to just six hours.
AM can offer a better way to make tooling, which in turn amplifies conventional manufacturing processes. In fact, tooling may be additive manufacturing's most impactful application.
Combining a ductile phase with a hard phase in a single build generates hard ferrous parts without cracking. Possibilities now include additive manufacturing of cutting tools, dies, bearings and downhole hardware.
Machining is part of additive manufacturing, but the problems, pacing and possibilities of machining are all affected by their interaction with AM. Here are some of the ways machining changes when metal 3D printing is one of its drivers.
Hittech worked with its customer to replace fully machined semiconductor trays with trays made via DED by Norsk Titanium. The result is dramatic savings in tool consumption and material waste.
By Bonnie Gurney, Vice President — Strategic Partnerships and Industry Relations at AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology, which owns and operates IMTS — The International Manufacturing Technology Show
Metal Powder Works has developed a method for producing powders from solid barstock, no melting required. This video covers how the process works and benefits of mechanical production of powders.
Topology optimization plus a material change realize an 80 percent reduction in mass.
Precision machining business Knust Godwin is also a sophisticated user of metal additive manufacturing. AM augments its services for customers in oil and gas, but has also opened opportunities in new markets.
