CAMX - The Composites and Advanced Materials Expo’s Post

As we reach the conclusion of the 6-year EPSRC Programme Grant "Enabling Next Generation Additive Manufacturing," Professors Richard Hague and Christopher Tuck reflect on the state of additive manufacturing (AM) before and after this programme. They discuss key advancements and highlights achieved through the grant and emphasise the importance of having such a Programme Grant for driving these advancements. They conclude with an optimistic outlook on the future of AM research, particularly the integration of artificial intelligence within additive manufacturing processes. Stay tuned for more updates on the exciting future of AM! #additivemanufacturing #researchexcellence #research #amadvancements #cfam #epsrc

Our Head of Engineering, Alex Ballisat, will be speaking at SUBCON next week. He will be sharing insights into using simulation to accelerate robust design of composite components. This will include: - How simulation can be used to improve performance throughout the lifecycle of a component -Using simulation to understand the impact of process uncertainty, such as raw material variability and machine variation - How to undertake digital prototyping to accelerate the design process and give confidence in manufacturing processes - Practical example of applying these tools and techniques to real cases Find Alex on the 5th of June at 12:40 at the Subcon Innovation Zone to learn more about simulation and the robust design of composite components. #Subcon2024 #SubconShow

The Technical University of Dortmund has made a bold leap into the future of manufacturing by acquiring one of our arc405 machines. The new machine will support ongoing research into materials and expand the department’s access to different AM technologies. Why does this matter? Additive Manufacturing isn’t just about making parts - it's about reshaping how we design, produce, and think about manufacturing as a whole. TU Dortmund’s commitment to integrating WAAM into academia signals a new era of collaboration between research and industry. Are you as excited as we are about the future of Additive Manufacturing? Let’s discuss how innovations like these are redefining what’s possible! #additivemanufacturing #innovation #waam

If you want to know how R2R processes can help you achive your Functional Material ambitions Michael Bjerregaard Andersen will be at MRS to guide you.

Earlier this year, we proudly joined the ambitious FLASH - Flexible Laser-based manufacturing through precision photon distribution project, supported by Horizon Europe, the EU’s funding program for research and innovation. Last week, our R&D Engineer, Jonathan Wood, met with project partners in Lisbon for the General Assembly meeting to share progress and plan the next steps. 💡 Part of Synova’s role in the project focuses on integrating three distinct laser sources with a specially designed laser coupling unit. Building on our proven dual-laser integration standard, this module is being adapted to incorporate a third laser beam. This innovative system enables multi-wavelength processing, from short pulses to high-power operations. ⚡ Thank you to the European Federation for Welding, Joining and Cutting (EWF) for hosting us. We’re excited to continue collaborating with our partners on this transformative project!
