Visser Precision purchases two Velo3D Sapphire printers Additive Manufacturing

by Technologies

Visser Precision, a contract manufacturer serving major industries from the racetrack to outer space, has purchased and received two Velo3D Sapphire printers – expanding its 3D printing capabilities for its aerospace customers. One of the printers is the first Sapphire printer calibrated for Haynes 214 (UNS N07214), a nickel-based superalloy that is now available as a powder option for all Velo3D customers. The other Sapphire printer is calibrated for Inconel 718, which is commonly used in many aerospace and industrial applications for its high strength and corrosion resistance.

This enables the quick and cost-effective creation, iteration, and production of all jewelry styles, including the most complex geometries.

Beacon, the world’s first ultra-rapid surface scanner for 3D printers. Decision Makers

by Technologies

Picture yourself walking away from your 3D printer as the first layer is being printed. There’s no babysitting your machine, hoping the filament won’t peel off the surface or the nozzle doesn’t get too close to the bed. That’s because of the Beacon sensor by Beacon3D that was mounted on the 3D printer. Seconds before your print, you generate a mesh of your bed surface that’s precise down to the sub-micron level. This is the same mesh that your printer software will use to make micro-adjustments during your print; ensuring the perfect first layer.

A closer look at Orion AM’s Thermal Radiation Fusion  3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

You may not have heard of Germany-based Orion AM, and that’s likely because they were formed just before the pandemic. Their goal is to produce parts for advanced applications using aerospace-grade polymers, like PEEK and similar high-temperature engineering materials [the company was recently in the news, as its technology is being used for the first known 3D printed parts to ever touch down on the Moon’s surface]`.

Impossible Objects’ CBAM-2 installed at Weber State University Industrial Additive Manufacturing

by Technologies

Weber State University is using 3D printing to advance its research on composite materials that support northern Utah’s aerospace and defense ecosystem. The university’s Miller Advanced Research and Solutions Center recently upgraded and installed the Impossible Objects’ Composite-Based Additive Manufacturing system, or CBAM-2. The machine prints composite materials that can then be used to design parts for a range of high-tech applications.
