Over the past few years, I've been deeply exploring the issue of residual stress in metal additive manufacturing, particularly with Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF). Through working on numerous cases, I've observed that residual stress and subsequent part failure are significant challenges in LPBF, especially for bulk geometries. However, there are substantial advantages to using metal additive manufacturing for producing bulk parts. These include the ability to print complex geometries, high customizability, and the integration of multiple functions into a single unit. #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #LPBF #MetalAM #ManufacturingInnovation #Engineering #ResidualStress #AdvancedManufacturing #CustomDesign #ComplexGeometries

What's the difference between MJF and SLS technology? The main difference is their heat source. MJF dispenses an ink (fusing agent) on the powder to absorb infrared light while SLS uses a laser to scan and sinter across each cross-section. Which technology should you choose?

Make or break your print - processing parameters. The right parameters are key to a successful LPBF-build job. The most fundamental ones are the Laser Power P, the Scan Speed v, the Laser Beam Diameter σ, and the Layer Thickness t. Together, they express the Volumetric Energy Density (VED), calculated as VED=P/(vσt). During a foundation study of an AlSi alloy, which was new to additive manufacturing, the relative densities varied by more than 5% across 57 specimens, with the lowest at about 95% and the highest nearly reaching 100%. The laser power and hatch spacing were similar for these two; only the scan speed differed. Notably, the faster scan speed produced the denser part for this material. So, within these parameters lies great potential for improving part quality and also for maximizing the productivity and reliability of LPBF manufacturing. #AdditiveManufacturing #Powder #PowderPrototyping #Aluminium #Parameters #VED #Innovation #3DPrinting #MaterialProcessing #MetalAM

🎯Why Use Solid-State Additive Manufacturing? 💡 Because 👉Most metal additive manufacturing (AM) methods involve sintering powder with an energy source like a laser or an electron beam, or a welding-like process that melts powder or wire to build up parts. 💡While these methods are suitable for all sorts of applications from medical implants to structural aerospace parts, the need to melt and resolidify the metal creates stresses. 💡That stress can cause metal parts to deform, break free from their support structures or even warp the build platform. 🎓To overcome all this points Solid state AM is best suitable. 🖊️In a solid-state AM process, the material doesn’t melt. 🖊️Instead, metal is built up using other mechanisms like friction, pressure and velocity. 🖊️Common types of solid-state AM include friction stir welding, cold spray and sheet lamination or Ultrasonic additive Manufacturing UAM . #additivemanufacturing #automotiveindustry #3dprinting #industria40

Fast sieving = Fast production! Elevate Your Metal Additive Manufacturing Speed with SEPA Ultrasonic Sieving Machine! How? By ensuring efficient powder handling that cuts 3D printer cleaning time from 20 hours to only 60 minutes or less. SEPA helps to reduce downtime and boosts overall productivity. Time is a critical factor in Additive Manufacturing, and we understand the need for swift production cycles! Below are metal materials that all SEPA models work with: - Iron-based alloys (316L, 17-4PH, 15-5PH, H13, etc.) - Aluminum-based alloys (AlSi10Mg, AlSi7Mg0.6, AlSi9Cu3, etc.) - Nickel-based alloys (IN625, IN718, IN939, etc.) - Titanium-based alloys (Ti6Al4V, Ti-6Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V, etc.) - Cobalt-chromium-based alloys (CoCrFeMnN, Co-29Cr-6Mo, Co-28Cr-9W) #AdditiveManufacturing #UltrasonicSieving #3DPrinting #MetalPowder
