⚡Exciting News!⚡ Renishaw, a leading additive manufacturing OEM, is using PIP to enhance their mechanical testing capabilities. By implementing PIP into its testing processes, Renishaw is increasing the precision and efficiency of mechanical property analysis and part confidence in additive manufacturing. 💪 Here's why this development matters: Streamlined Testing ✅ -Traditional tensile testing methods can be time-consuming and expensive. Plastometrex's PIP technology, integrated into Renishaw Additive Manufacturing's testing processes, slashes testing time from hours to minutes, enabling rapid identification of mechanical properties. Enhanced Precision 🎯 -By directly testing AM parts in various locations, the PLX-Benchtop offers a more comprehensive understanding of a part’s mechanical properties, overcoming the limitations of separately printed tensile coupons. Cost Savings 💸 With minimal sample preparation and no need for separate coupons, Renishaw can enjoy significant cost savings in material and machining.

𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 Check out this case study where we dive into the benefits of using AM to produce extrusion dies. The results below translated directly into value for our customer, enabling higher quality and a longer lasting mold that reduced overall cycle time. 🔹 25% 𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝐸𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑦: By integrating conformal cooling channels close to the molding surface, we enhanced the extrusion rate significantly. 🔹 𝐼𝑚𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑑 𝑇ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑙 𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒: Our design lowered the maximum temperature by 20°C, allowing for faster cycles and better material performance. 🔹 𝑈𝑛𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑑 𝐷𝑢𝑟𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦: With an impressive 6x wear performance improvement, this extrusion die boasts a lifespan of 12 weeks—10 weeks longer than traditional methods. Check out the full case study to see how we're pushing the boundaries of what's possible with additive manufacturing: https://lnkd.in/djSFePTw #metal3dprinting #additivemanufacturing #tooling #extrusiondie #moldmanufacturing

In addition to the cost and time-saving qualities that make #additivemanufacturing so popular today, AM technologies like #3dprinting offer a level of design customization that traditional manufacturing methods can not achieve. Partnering with an industry expert like SabeRex: a TyRex Technology Family company can unlock these game-changing qualities and push your production to the next level. #manufacturing #manufacturingindustry #technology

Additive Manufacturing ⚙ – production technology to implement Conformal Cooling ❄ 🔹Conformal cooling is a technique that incorporates custom cooling channels into the molds 🔹The cooling channels can be specifically designed to match part geometries for more effective and uniform cooling 🔹It eliminates hot spots in the mold to shorten cycle time and improve plastic part quality #additivemanufacturing #3Dprinting #technology #conformal #cooling #shortest #cycletimes #vtw

Imagine, in the past, spending a considerable amount of time crafting the foot shape in EVA to cover a partial foot. Now, with additive manufacturing, this process can be accomplished effortlessly with just a few curves. The added benefits include precise build-up and density variations. #insoles #additivemanufacturing #yourcadcampartner #orthotics #oandp #prosthetics

Neil Hopkinson, VP, Additive Manufacturing Technology, Stratasys contributed an article " Additive Manufacturing: Aligning with Injection Molding to increase profit through the product lifecycle. " For high-volume production, what we are seeing more and more is optimized #business and product lifecycle approaches conducted through a hybrid co-existence of the new and the traditional approaches using AM at the start of production, molding for the main production, and then AM again for supply of spare parts.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/gy-PZ6wW #additivemanufacturing #manufacturingtech #technology
