THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP IN EFFECTIVELY USING METAL AM IS... ... understanding what metal AM technology CAN do and CANNOT do! And so knowing when to use it effectively! Many companies view metal additive manufacturing as a direct replacement for traditional manufacturing such as casting, but in most cases this is not the best approach for a cost-effective use of metal #3Dprinting. Tailored design concepts should be used when developing components for metal AM production. #DfAM This not only improves manufacturing speed and reduces cost, but often improves the functionality, quality and performance of a component. Take parts to the next level by making them lighter and stronger at the same time, for exampel. 📌 Do you like this post?

Conformal cooling? Why bother? Here’s a good example of why conformal cooling is such a powerful feature that additive manufacturing brings to the world of injection molding. And to make it even more cost-effective, we used a ‘hybrid’ approach to tooling in which the usually simple bottom part of the tool is CNC machined, and that is then mounted into the AM system, and the complex part of the tool, with its conformal cooling channels, is grown directly on top of the machined blank. Then a quick finishing cut to give it the right surface finish for injection molding. Here’s a video of an 8-cavity bottle cap tool in action. The tool has been running almost continuously for over 2 years and has produced well over 40 million caps. The tool paid for itself in less than a month of operation! This tool insert, for a bottle cap, was done by CDAM Lab staff member Dr. Simon Chan, in collaboration with local tool manufacturer CAMEX. The CNC machined substrate is 17-4 PH stainless, and the AM part of the tool is maraging steel. This was done as the replacement for a worn out 4-cavity tool. The new tool reduced the tool cooling time from 4.5 seconds to 2.5 seconds. This reduced cooling time translates to more shots per minutes, which translates to cost savings. #cdamlab #CAMMD #uoa #3dprinting #additivemanufacturing #eos #dfam ASTM Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence Wohlers Associates, powered by ASTM International #tooling The University of Auckland

CASE STUDY - SINGLE PIECE EXTRUSION TOOL In the extrusion of technical hoses, the melt at the end of the extruder is pressed through the tool to create a homogeneous mass and shape, making internal features essential for quality of the final product. Thanks to SLM® technology's ability to integrate internal features into a reduced assembly, the production efficiency of this extrusion tool was considerably improved. MonaLab GmbH has succeeded in producing the tool as a one-piece component with the aid of the SLM® technology. In contrast to conventional methods, in which the tool has to be assembled from many small parts, additive manufacturing creates an integrated, reduced assembly design.

WE USE STRUCTURAL OPTIMIZATION NOT ONLY IN ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING. ... but also w/ traditional manufacturing technologies. By integrating manufacturing constraints from the start, we ensure that each part is not only optimized for performance... ...but also for cost and is entirely manufacturable. We're currently optimizing a lightweight part specifically for CNC machining because it's the most cost-effective approach for this project. However, it's important to continually evaluate whether an additive / subtractive manufacturing or a hybrid approach makes the most economic and environmental sense. When it comes to balancing these issues in manufacturing, what are your thoughts? 📌 Do you like this post?

Creative Director/Business Development at Direct Dimensions #digitaltwin, #3dscanning, and #reverseengineering #metaverse
Design For Additive Manufacturing (DFAM) is much along the lines of Six Sigma or Lean Manufacturing in many ways but still in it's infancy as it's growing and changing in ways that haven't even touched the sides of a company's manufacturing process. I'm definitely 80/20 on this and, in some ways, quite happy that Additive Manufacturing was "expensive" because it made people think about things before just making a widget the same way they did previously. That thinking with taking advantages of what AM brings to the table and it's benefits is vital to leveraging it for what it does best. That each model can be different is one of it's biggest strengths. That geometries that would increase cost for more traditional methods that with the AM process does not care. This is a great example of using AM for a projects where, on face value, makes a lot of sense. Turnaround time, throughput, and cost hit a tipping point that it made sense for this order to be made. But I also feel a gut punch because it was 60K in one batch and 1M models in another which just feels off to me on some levels. Maybe I'm being too pragmatic in wanting AM to stay in a lane where, even with the best of intentions, might mean that we need it to bleed over, just a tad, into other lanes it was not meant for? Shout out to Spencer Loveless and his team for pushing the envelope and sharing this project. Definitely worth a case study and deeper dive on the Pros/Cons of this. #3dprinting #additivemanufacturing #3MF #STL https://lnkd.in/eNicnbZF
