| Vacuum Heat Treating 3D Metal Printed Components |
| Since
3D printing builds to near net or finished dimensions, vacuum heat
treating is an absolute necessity. Vacuum levels that approach 1 X 10-6
Torr produce clean and oxide free surface conditions that are
metallurgically stable. Critical temperature control is also a must to
avoid cracking and producing a strong and ductile part. |

| Velo3D Qualifies Copper Alloy for its Sapphire Printers |
| Velo3D
has qualified the copper-chromium-niobium alloy GRCop-42 for use in its
Sapphire family of printers, with the first group of GRCop-42 demo
parts on display at the recently held RAPID + TCT event. Contract
manufacturer Knust Godwin will receive the first Sapphire printer
utilizing GRCop-42. The Texas-based company has three systems currently
in place to print other alloys, such as Inconel. |

| Automation Takes the Hurt Out of Post-Processing |
Post-processing
has been labeled the necessary evil of AM. Unquestionably of utmost
importance in the production cycle, post-processing nonetheless can drop
challenges and roadblocks galore in time, manpower and costs.
Topology Optimization and Reusable Workflows
…result in a redesigned robotic end effector that’s significantly lighter than the previous design, with substantially fewer components and reduced sealing points. |
