GE Additive’s new Arcam EBM Spectra H metal AM system delivers 50% faster build speeds 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

AM giant GE Additive has introduced the Arcam EBM Spectra H metal additive manufacturing system for the first time at RAPID + TCT 2018. The new system, now available for pre-order, is built for processing and printing typically challenging metal materials such as titanium aluminide (TiAl). The Arcam EBM Spectra H marks the first system put out by Sweden-based Arcam since it was acquired by GE in 2016.

Made in Space to make proposal on Phase II of Archinaut Development Program AM Industry

by Aerospace

NASA has invited Made In Space, Inc. (MIS) to submit a proposal for a technology flight demonstration mission (Phase II) of its Archinaut technology. Archinaut is an in-space robotic manufacturing and assembly platform capable of constructing space-optimized systems of sizes not previously feasible. NASA’s Space Technology and Mission Directorate (STMD) awarded MIS its initial Archinaut contract in 2016. Since that time, MIS, who recently won a bid to continue developing VULCAN, has made significant advancements in space-capable extended structure additive manufacturing and robotic assembly.
