The Postprocessing Episode: AM Radio #58

6 days ago | additivemanufacturing.media | Stephanie Hendrixson

This episode of the AM Radio podcast is brought to you by The BuildUp.Subscribe to the AM Radio podcast. Postprocessing is a necessary part of the additive manufacturing (AM) workflow in almost every instance, because 3D printing alone rarely yields a finished part ready for use.
How 3D Printing Supports Toolmaking Workforce at This Multiscale Molder

1 week ago | moldmakingtechnology.com | Stephanie Hendrixson

Denny Reiland is CEO and third-generation owner of General Pattern in Blaine, Minnesota. Though the company originated as a foundry pattern maker, its business today is largely the production of injection molded parts (examples in the banner above) using tooling produced in-house. “We are not a quarterly company,” says Denny Reiland, third-generation owner and CEO of Minnesota-based manufacturer General Pattern.
Baker Hughes' "Golden" Build Files Enable Reliable Additive Manufacturing Today, and Repeatable Production Tomorrow

Successfully manufacturing a single part additively was once enough cause for celebration on its own. Additive manufacturers today would be more inclined to celebrate the successful repeat manufacturing of a particular part in serial production.
5 Trends in 3D Printed Injection Mold Tooling

One of additive manufacturing’s best-known benefits for mold tooling is the chance to incorporate conformal cooling — cooling channels that can precisely wrap around mold features to improve molding cycle times by more quickly reducing heat in these regions. But water-cooled channels can present a problem over time; many additively manufactured tools are made from maraging steel, which is fairly easy to 3D print through laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) but is prone to corrosion.

3D Printed Blades Feature Engineered Porosity to Prevent Sticking: The Cool Parts Show #82

3 weeks ago | additivemanufacturing.media | Stephanie Hendrixson

When contract manufacturer K3D began 3D printing in metal through laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), it initially experienced problems with uncontrolled porosity. Now, however, the Dutch company is 3D printing metal parts with engineered, controlled and intentional porosity. K3D now manufactures porous knife blades for its parent company, industrial bakery supplier Royal Kaak.

Video: Mass Customization Informs Ongoing 3D Printing Production at DI Labs

1 month ago | additivemanufacturing.media | Stephanie Hendrixson

Minnesota-based additive manufacturer DI Labs is leveraging Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D printing to deliver polymer parts for applications ranging from medical device enclosures to aftermarket automotive parts. Some of this work is ongoing, standardized serial production — but about 15% of it instead involves manufacturing customized products sold through its Threedom platform.
3D Printed Inconel Sleeve Protects Critical Valves from Thermal Shock

1 month ago | valvemagazine.com | Stephanie Hendrixson

The 3D printed thermal sleeve looks simple, but the double-walled design is filled with complex lattice structures that enable this monolithic part to provide insulating protection to valves in high-temperature applications. Source: VelanMontreal-based valve manufacturer Velan had been watching additive manufacturing for nearly a decade before the company saw just the right way to jump in. “We connected all the dots on this part,” says Luc Vernhes, director of business development.
