Complex parts generate complex problems. XtenDED combines 3D printing with 5-axis CNC machining for cutting-edge solutions. XtenDED’s hybridized AM/CNC enables increased in-process finishing of AM parts with greater accuracy and better surface finish. Benefits include repairing a component rather than replacing it, rapid prototyping, resurfacing, or combining dissimilar metals to enhance wear or corrosion resistance. If you’re at RAPID + TCT 2024 this week, come by booth 822 and let's talk about how how XtenDED brings together the freedom of Additive with the precision of Subtractive into a single solution. #additivemanufacturing #rapidtct2024 #3dprinting #additivemfg #additive #subtractive #machining #metalfabrication #cnc #ded #medical #automotive #automotivemanufacturing #aviation #aerospace #moldmaking

LASRAM-X-DUPLEX's application at ITM trade fairs shows an example of laser welding with the co-operation of two robots. The BA006L robot is equipped with a #laser #welding tool that can also act as a nozzle for #3D printing. The second robot RS080 is responsible for manipulating the workpiece and setting it in the correct orientation for each operation. With this arrangement of two robots, more complex workpieces can be welded and the 3D printing station for metal parts can be quickly refitted. Have you seen an application like this before? It's impressive, isn't it? #kawasakirobotics #robotics

🚀 Exciting developments in manufacturing technology! BMW Group's Lightweight Construction and Technology Centre in Landshut is leveraging the power of 3D printing to revolutionize production processes. By utilizing advanced techniques like selective laser sintering (SLS) and large scale printing (LSP), they've created a lighter and more efficient gripper for robots, reducing maintenance intervals and cutting CO2 emissions by 60%. Meanwhile, Velo3D announces impressive first quarter results, with $17 million in new orders and a 40% reduction in installation time for their Sapphire XC system. Markforged introduces Turbo Print, a game-changing feature for their Mark Two and Onyx Pro printers, enabling up to 2x faster print speeds without sacrificing surface finish quality. Innovation is reshaping the manufacturing landscape, driving efficiency and sustainability forward. #Manufacturing #3DPrinting #Innovation #BMW #Velo3D #Markforged

🌟 News update! 🌟 𝗥𝗢𝗕𝗢𝗧 𝘃𝘀. 𝗚𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗬 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲-𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴📝 Great article depicting the difference between a robot vs. gantry 3D printing systems. AM editor-in-chief Peter Zelinski (Additive Manufacturing Media) visited our partner Additive Engineering Solutions (AES) and spoke with co-owner Austin Schmidt. AES has years of experience with gantry-style machines and has recently installed their first robotic LFAM machine, the Flexbot. As part of our parntership, AES offers a North American demo site for #Flexbot projects.

With superior performance in laser welding, gluing, 3D printing, and more, ABB Robotics is setting new standards in robotics. Plus, RobotStudio® ensures up to a 99% match between simulation and reality. Learn more here: [Link to the article](https://lnkd.in/e4ureE6G)

📢Time to Get Technical...📢 CEAD Group, a developer of large-scale 3D printers based in Delft, offers various solutions including the AM Flexbot. The AM flexbot is a flexible robot-based solution for large scale additive manufacturing. This versatile system provides lots of options that can be integrated to configure the system to your specific needs! 😎 The AM Flexbot is ideal for custom solutions to fit a specific application. Siemens Sinumerik is used to directly control the Comau robot arm, meaning no robot controller is needed. This enables very accurate operation of the robot, especially in terms of position accuracy while traveling along a path. The Siemens Sinumerik can control 31 axes. Therefore your AM Flexbot can be easily extended with additional functions such as a rotary table, additional robots, or other production processes such as ATP or AFP. 🤩 It also offers the unique option to combine 3D printing and milling into one automated process. For mold making and tooling applications ideal to achieve the required surface finish. The standard system comes with a print bed surface area of 2x1 meter, but expansion is possible by placing the robot on a track as shown in this video! 🕵🏻♀️ #managingcomposites #thenativelab #3dprinting
