To conclude our #HolidayReading series, we present an article from the Metal AM Autumn 2024 issue. With seven structural titanium parts flying on every Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a Master Supply Agreement with Airbus for the A350, and projects with the likes of Northrop Grumman and General Atomics, Norsk Titanium is setting the pace when it comes to the production of airframe components by Additive Manufacturing. ✈️ 👉 By using wire instead of powder and its own proprietary version of the Directed Energy Deposition (DED) process, the company combines high deposition rates with aerospace-grade materials properties. Martin McMahon visited the company on behalf of Metal AM magazine. 📑Read the full article online: https://lnkd.in/gGcxA2hu 📥Download this issue for free: https://lnkd.in/giGmiNgp #additivemanufacturing #3dprinting #aerospace #titanium #applications

This #HolidayReading, we bring to you an article from the Autumn 2024 issue of PIM international magazine.👇 Bosch Advanced Ceramics is a global leader in the production of technical ceramics, serving a variety of industries from automotive to medical devices and the chemical industry. Today, the company sees a bright future in ceramic Additive Manufacturing for the series production of parts in increasingly ambitious volumes. 📈 This article will present a case study that clearly demonstrates how, using Lithoz’s AM technology, Bosch Advanced Ceramics has been able to develop a micro-sized medical device component that is now in production with an annual run of 50,000 parts.🔩 📑Read the full article online: https://lnkd.in/gCYkxrqf 📥Get your free PDF download here: https://lnkd.in/gfy9a8DE Discover PIM International magazine: MIM, Binder Jetting and beyond here: pim-international.com #injectionmolding #ceramics #additivemanufacturing

Today’s #HolidayReading features an article from our Spring 2024 issue. Sustainability has risen to the top of the global manufacturing agenda. Whilst metal AM has long been considered a green technology because of its net-shape capabilities, it is far from being a process absent of environmental impact.♻️ In this article from Spring 2024 issue, Metal AM magazine’s Technical Consultant, Martin McMahon explores how global efforts are being made to improve this through the use of more sustainable metal powders, combined with a greater focus on powder reuse and recycling. Inextricably linked to this are, of course, economic gains and, in terms of supply chain, national security benefits. 📌 Read the full article online: https://lnkd.in/gXUdKqqy 📝 Download this issue for free, here: https://lnkd.in/gAbrSe2w #additivemanufacturing #3Dprinting #metalpowders #sustainability #insight

In today's #HolidayReading, we spotlight an article from PM Review Autumn 2024 that highlights details from the PowderMet2024 and AMPM2024 conferences in Pittsburgh. The fact that a high proportion of North America’s Powder Metallurgy structural parts and cemented carbide industries are located close to Pittsburgh, the host city for this year’s PowderMet2024 and AMPM2024 conferences, ensured a good turnout for the organiser, the Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF). 🤝 In the following report, Bernard North shares his overall impressions of the event and reports in detail on a particularly well-attended Carbide Forum, in which developments in the $20 billion cemented carbide industry were presented by a very knowledgeable panel of presenters. 👉 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gQrSyqRg 📥 Download PM Review Autumn 2024 issue for free: https://lnkd.in/gvUDZjJD Discover PM Review magazine here: pm-review.com #powdermetallurgy #metalpowders #PowderMet2024 #AMPM2024 #events #carbide #additivemanufacturing #3dprinting

For today's #HolidayReading, we take a trip back to Summer 2024. The very existence of BMW Group’s state-of-the-art Additive Manufacturing Campus, located close to Munich, speaks volumes about the potential of AM technology in the automotive industry. 🏎️ Metal AM magazine’s Technical Consultant, Martin McMahon, and Managing Editor, Nick Williams, had the opportunity to visit the campus. As is revealed here, they discovered an operation that not only functions as an application development centre and centralised location for the BMW Group’s AM expertise, but also operates as a model AM factory built around the concepts of productivity and automation. 🚀 👉 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gQqmf5tB 📌 Download our Summer 2024 issue here: https://lnkd.in/gN-iFHJF #additivemanufacturing #3dprinting #binderjetting #automotive #vehicles #bmw #materials #equipments

This #HolidayReading spotlights the growing interest in additively manufactured pure tungsten, driven by the anticipated demand for tungsten components in future fusion power plants. 👉 Here, Additive Manufacturing veterans and PBF-EB enthusiasts, Ulf Ackelid and Ulric Ljungblad – both of Sweden’s Freemelt AB – provide insights into the AM of tungsten and the benefits of using an electron beam as the energy source. This article is a standalone continuation of previous PBF-EB articles in Metal AM, published in the Summer 2020, Autumn 2022, and Summer 2023 issues. 📑 Read online: https://lnkd.in/g4eSQucP 📥 Download Metal AM Autumn 2024 issue for free: https://lnkd.in/giGmiNgp #additivemanufacturing #3dprinting #electronbeam #tungsten

For today's #HolidayReading, we present an article from PIM International magazine: MIM, Binder Jetting and beyond. 📚 Everyone had high expectations of Binder Jetting. Of all the metal Additive Manufacturing processes, it suffered from the most hype. What transpired was the realisation amongst machine vendors that it was harder than expected to 'get it right'. However, while public success stories are few and far between, progress is being made. 📈 Azoth 3D is one company that has successfully embraced Binder Jetting, along with related sinter-based AM processes. With a 'feet firmly on the ground' approach, and a base near Detroit, it has found commercial success in the automotive industry 🚗 and beyond. Bernard North reports on a recent visit. 📖 Read this article online: https://lnkd.in/gZ7m8P-U 📥 Download PIM International Autumn 2024 for free: https://lnkd.in/guC4gx5R #injectionmolding #ceramics #additivemanufacturing #3dprinting #automotive

For today's #HolidayReading series, we're sharing an article from Metal AM Autumn 2024. Patents have had a major impact on the evolution of the Additive Manufacturing industry. They offer intellectual property protection, yet they also force the disclosure of expertise. Registering a patent also comes at a high cost, yet for those who are found to infringe a patent, the costs are even higher. But what can the data generated by the global patenting process tell us about AM? Here, Joseph Kowen and Gil Perlberg use Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-EB) technology as a case study to discover what patent data can reveal. 📖 Read the full article on our website: https://lnkd.in/gCsxkZNt 📥 Download Metal AM Autumn 2024 for free here: https://lnkd.in/gKRXVEYJ #additivemanufacturing #3dprinting #patents

For this #HolidayReading, we revisit an article from our Summer 2024 issue. China’s Additive Manufacturing industry is growing at extraordinary speed, driven forward by intense domestic competition and AM technology’s role in the country’s national manufacturing strategy. Based on a visit to the TCT Asia 2024 exhibition, Joseph Kowen shares an outsider’s perspective on what is happening in the Chinese metal AM industry. Are Chinese AM machines now rivalling those from the West in terms of capability, and how is an increasingly complex geopolitical situation impacting the dynamics of the AM industry? 👉 Read the full article online: https://lnkd.in/gQiebV-F 📥 Download this issue for free here: https://lnkd.in/gN-iFHJF #additivemanufacturing #3dprinting #events #insights
