The number-one thing a company can do to protect its AM investment and not interrupt production is develop a comprehensive safety policy specifically for additive.
Tim Simpson and Peter Zelinski discuss a way additive manufacturing has advanced: The misperceptions have shifted. Knowledge of AM among manufacturers is more sophisticated now. The concerns that inform the perceptions of newcomers have therefore changed.
In this episode of AM Radio, Stephanie Hendrixson and Peter Zelinski quiz each other on six 3D printing processes — some common, some novel. Test your own knowledge and stick around for a discussion about how to categorize (or maybe re-categorize) AM technologies.
AM professionals are in demand as 3D printing matures and advances. But what skills are hiring manufacturers looking for? How can applicants prepare? And where can you find relevant job listings?
Formnext 2023 showed that additive manufacturing may be maturing, but it is certainly not stagnant. In this episode, we dive into observations around technology enhancements, new processes and materials, robots, sustainability and more trends from the show.
Hot isostatic pressing has long been used for metal castings, but is now being applied as a valuable method for closing porosity in metal 3D printed parts.
In processes like machining, the material is a known quantity. A part starts as a block of material, or perhaps a forging or casting. Its form changes in the machining process, but its inherent material properties are already set. In additive manufacturing, however, the material properties are being established alongside the geometry of the part.
Cost savings, modifications, large-format AM and more. In this episode of AM Radio, we discuss what people are saying about additive manufacturing on social media.
In some cases, it makes sense to switch from 3D printing to some other process, but there are also cases where AM can and should win the production work. Here are 5 examples.
