The next generation of the S1 post processing system from AM Solutions – 3D post processing technology 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

With its numerous technical features, the latest generation of the S1 post-processing system from AM Solutions – 3D post processing technology is setting new standards for de-powdering and cleaning of 3D printed components. These include the swivel-mounted rotary basket for ergonomic loading/unloading and prevention of dirt pickup, swivel-mounted blast nozzles preventing re-contamination and a design that is in complete compliance with ATEX standards. Of course, the gentle and, at the same time, intensive processing, the easy and safe change of blast media and the easy switch from automatic to manual operation ensure efficient and consistent high-quality processing results.

Renewable energy and additive manufacturing: Biden argues for move to renewable energy; AM stands at the ready AM Industry

by Business

Joe Biden clearly endorsed renewable energies during the second presidential debate, which took place on the evening of October 22, 2020. The specific renewable energies that have yet to be explored at a widespread industrial scale are biomass, solar and wind. Biden argued for a move away from fossil fuels while adopting wind and solar energy as sustainable replacements. Such a policy does not, of course, spell overnight doom for the oil industry; it does, however, mean that renewable energy companies might seek to ramp up production in the coming years if Biden gets elected. Increasing production, particularly in emerging solar and wind production, is territory rife for additive manufacturing.
