The participating companies are working to create complete digital postprocessing solutions for the automated finishing of flight parts, orthopedic implants and gas turbine components produced using metal additive manufacturing processes.

Partnership means HP will market DyeMansion’s postprocessing workflows as a preferred solution for customers to achieve large-scale production of final parts.

This technology gives manufacturers the ability to build onto existing parts with high precision and utilize a variety of materials, reducing lead times and minimizing postprocessing requirements.

Additive manufacturing is defined by 3D printing, but it is more than this step. For almost every AM production part, steps after the 3D printing operation are essential to complete the part and realize its value. Here are several thoughts.

Additive manufacturing remains a growth industry with double-digit, year-over-year growth rates. 

The material can be used to create smooth surface finishes, which enables an optimized production process that streamlines postprocessing steps, thereby saving time and further reducing costs for producing complex smooth parts.

The collaboration involves the utilization of GPAInnova’s DryLyte electropolishing technology as a postprocessing solution for Xact Metal’s metal 3D printers.

Collaboration creates a one-stop-shop for all the tools and software needed to create precision products that look, feel and function properly. Now, Hawk Ridge Systems’ integrated solution portfolio will include a complete print-to-product workflow with DyeMansion’s Powershot C, Powershot S, DM60 and Powerfuse S postprocessing solutions.

Designing extra stock and mounting features into a 3D printed part can aid in machining processes downstream. 

Formnext 2023: Media blasting, once a recommended step, is now a needed requirement and the Fuse Blast eliminates struggles experienced in manual postprocessing efforts.
