4 Game-Changing Applications of DMLS for Metal Parts Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is quickly becoming an additive technology of choice for high-performance industries, including aerospace, medical, dental and automotive. Why? Because its versatility opens up new possibilities for the design and manufacture of metal parts. What is DMLS? This additive technology uses a laser beam to melt 20- to 60-micron layers of metal powder on top of each other. Powdered metal is spread across the entire build platform and selectively melted to previous layers. The result is a high-quality metal part that doesn’t require sintering and has the mechanical characteristics of cast metal parts. Because no tooling is required for direct metal printing, parts can be produced at a fraction of the cost of custom steel tooling and fixtures. Learn More About Direct Metal Laser Sintering // https://lnkd.in/gBqz6UHH 4 Game-Changing Applications of DMLS If you’re currently producing parts using metal casting or CNC machining, you should try DMLS to see what it can do for you. Here are four remarkable applications of it: Functional Prototypes // DMLS enables you to produce and iterate prototype part designs quickly – without the expense of tooling. Jigs & Fixtures // The exceptional toughness of DMLS parts makes them ideal for jigs and workholding fixtures for CNC machining, part inspections and more. Fast Metal Tooling for Injection Molding // DMLS can be used to build short production-run tooling for injection molding. Our Fathom McHenry facility builds tools for injection molding. It relies on our Hartland facility to print steel cores for some of its mold tools using DMLS. Flow Applications // Certain part designs require channels for fluid or air to pass through. This includes conformal cooling channels, which run just below the surface of the part. They can’t be machined into parts but are easy to create with DMLS. Another example is consolidating assemblies into a single part that is printed with DMLS. This eliminates potential sources of leaks.

Fathom McHenry produces multiple types of steel and aluminum tools to meet all your injection molding needs:  Multi-Cavity // We build tools that can mold multiple parts in a single shot. This is especially valuable for customers who require large quantities of small parts. Overmolding // A part is first molded using rigid plastic. A softer material is then molded over the top of it in a single tool. Two-Shot Molding // We build bi-inject rotary tools that enable two-shot molding – a process where two materials are molded together in a single cycle. Insert Molding // A metal part, such as a threaded component that will accept a screw, is placed within the tool and plastic is molded around it. MUD Molding // In a master unit die (MUD), interchangeable tools sit in a frame and can be swapped in a matter of minutes. It can be used to produce multiple variations of customized parts.

Additive Manufacturing vs. Injection Molding // Trade-Offs & Synergies Which manufacturing technology is the best fit for your needs – Additive Manufacturing or Injection Molding? What criteria should you use to make this decision? Are there synergies between them that you can use to streamline your prototype-to-production process? These and other questions will be answered by the expert Fathom team in this brief Q&A. What are the Strengths & Weaknesses of Each Technology? Both technologies have trade-offs: Additive Manufacturing enables you to quickly produce prototype parts and iterate your way to a final design. But it isn’t suitable for building large quantities of parts because of the amount of time it takes to build a single part (usually multiple hours). Injection Molding is perfect for high-volume production but it requires tooling – which usually takes several weeks to build, set up on a press and qualify it for production. Once it’s ready to go, however, it can produce a large volume of parts quickly. The table below provides a more detailed comparison of injection molding and additive manufacturing and injection molding. Can Additive Manufacturing & Injection Molding be Used Together? Yes. You can use additive manufacturing to validate and refine your part design. Once you’ve finalized it, you can make the investment in tooling and use injection molding to produce your production parts. Why does this approach matter? It’s more cost-effective to adjust, refine and finalize your part design BEFORE you commit to tooling. Tool changes tend to be expensive and time-consuming and can cause significant delays in your product launches. Learn More About the Trade-Offs // https://lnkd.in/gbA3b-NJ I Want the Speed of Injection Molding with the Flexibility of 3D Printing. Is There an Additive Technology That Can Give Me Both? Yes. The Selective Thermoplastic Electrophotographic Process (STEP), available exclusively from Fathom, produces 3D-printed thermoplastic parts at injection molding speed – without tooling. Because STEP technology uses powdered versions of popular thermoplastics, it can serve as a single solution for everything from prototype parts and bridge production to full production – enabling you to bring your products to market faster!

At Fathom Hartland, our work encompasses the best of old and new technologies. In addition to additive manufacturing, we produce large-format parts using a traditional fabrication technique called fiberglass layup. Here’s how it works: Fabric strips are dripped in resin and then laid them into a wooden pattern to form a uniform thickness. After the part has cured, it’s removed from the pattern and is finished to meet the customer’s specifications. The experienced Hartland team has been successfully building fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) parts using this technique for over 40 years. Our customers include many equipment manufacturers, who use us to produce prototype body panels for their new machine models. Contact us today to learn how we can build large FRP parts for you // https://lnkd.in/gva4MVET #fathom #manufacturing #innovation #industrialengineering #advancedmanufacturing #frp #fiberglasslayup
