ADDVANCE on the convergence of lean management and AM in a disrupted supply chain
A general understanding of Additive Manufacturing (AM) and Lean Management (LM) will make most industrials agree on what seems an undisputable fact: AM can easily converge with LM as the former promotes resource efficiency...
Eckart GmbH on the use of high-strength alloys in Additive Manufacturing
By definition, an alloy is a mixture of two or more metals or of a base metal with non-metallic additions. By integrating various elements into a pure metal’s lattice structure, materials properties can be...
Key considerations to take into account for the production of 3D Printable stainless steel powders
There are a number of reasons why one can select stainless steel for additive manufacturing (AM) processes, including its superior corrosion, mechanical properties compared with other steel types (meaning that the component will last...
Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing is an ideal production candidate for large-scale parts, yet still lags far behind in adoption. Here is why.
On the metal 3D printing market, DED and LPBF are often the first technology processes that come to one’s mind when looking to produce large-scale parts. Yet, behind the large-scale 3D printed parts built...
Additive Manufacturing: the value chain polymerization process
In this opinion article, Kris Binon, former director of Benelux AM-association Flam3D and now Business Unit Development Manager at Hybrid Software discusses the concept of value chain polymerization process and the role of companies...
This is not DFAM: It is a form of automated, AI-driven optimization that produces simulation-verified design solutions for AM
In the digital-design-engineering world, there’s an urgent opportunity, right now, to fully exploit the tools of computer-aided engineering (CFD, FEA, electromagnetic simulation and more) using the capabilities of AI. Yes, we’re talking about design...
