Is your company "ready" to adopt AM? This week at IMTS - International Manufacturing Technology Show, many were asking this question - especially as companies look to make large investment decisions with minimal capital. The TBGA AM Readiness Model utilizes the categories from the ADDvisor® View of AM to evaluate where companies stand on their AM adoption journey. From desktop 3D printing, to enterprise-wide AM expertise - each category guides future areas of growth within an organization to reach goals. Next up from the TBGA TOOLBOX we provide a tool focused on the Can I? / Should I? of AM part production. #productionreadiness #requirements #technologyadoption #additivemanufacturing

Perhaps the most famous tool in the TBGA TOOLBOX is the AM Maturity Model. In this model, it is clear to see how the AM learning process can be applied to product development. As machine, material and design skills mature, so does the ability to utilize AM to maximize part requirements. This tool is a valuable asset for those embarking on the AM journey. #maturitymodel #advancedmanufacturing #requirements #qualification

Pulling on last weeks schematic featuring the seven AM technologies, we can see the distinct characteristics have overlapped by definition as the industry innovates and evolves. From the TBGA TOOLBOX, The ADDvisor® View of AM identifies through four lenses what all AM technologies have in common: Machines, Materials, Digitial & People. This tool further informs users on how to apply AM technology to their requirements. More from the TBGA Toolbox: https://lnkd.in/g-VWdiKZ #tools #datadriven #businessprocess #advancedmanufacturing

This week from the TBGA TOOLBOX, a visual schematic on the 7 AM technologies. Using the three elements from the Simplified View of AM - Layer Formation, Energy & Materials - we are able to categorize and define each technology by "family groups". This grouping helps provide context to technologies that fall outside the traditional seven such as Cold Spray and Friction Stir Welding. #additivemanufacturing #processmodels #visualtools #technology

Diving into the TBGA TOOLBOX, we start with a basic method to define the AM processes: The Simplified View of AM. While there are a variety of AM technologies, this tool provides users with a way to analyze how these three elements work together to define the process: (1) How do you form the LAYER? (2) How is the ENERGY applied? (3) How is the MATERIAL applied? Next thread: how this tool applies in defining the 7 AM technologies. #additivemanufacturing #requirements #qualification #processmodels

Over the last 7 years TBGA has assembled a vast catalog of industry data and knowledge. Coupled with an ADDvisor® team who has deep process expertise, this has led to the development of an extensive set of proprietary tools and models that help customers navigate the AM landscape. And now we're sharing this industry knowledge with you as we introduce the TBGA TOOLBOX - weekly insights here on LinkedIn that can guide deeper understanding and adoption of AM. Watch later this week for the first tool in this series - TBGA's Simplified View of AM. #insights #datadriven #additivemanufacturing #expertise #qualification

The significance of the work we get to do hits home even stronger when we get to do it in our nations capital. This week, Ethan C., Rick Russell and Kevin Slattery joined our partners from BlueForge Alliance to present the findings of the US Navy Submarine Industrial Base Additive Manufacturing Demand Study. This task was led by the TBGA team to support the Navy's ambitious goal to significantly ramp up production of Columbia and Virginia Class subs. Additive will be a key technology to make this happen. #additivemanufacturing #SIB #defenseindustry #letsgo
