Application development is crucial in achieving the maximum potential for your part in the LPBF process. Find out more via this video

One of the things that is often talked about in our industry is productivity. Many times it is communicated as a deposition rate but this doesn’t include time lost where operators remove the parts, or where builds finish in the middle to the night and the machine is left idle. The fully automated MetalFAB1 allows us to talk about metrics such as OEE and uptime that are commonly used in manufacturing other industries. Find out more about via this video how Additive Industries monitor this metrics and why we consider ourselves productivity leaders.

Find out more about the Additive Industries’ design approach of the gas flow configuration of the MetalFAB1 with the aid of computational fluid dynamics. Download the whitepaper

The parts you build in AM are only ever going to be as good as the material you use to make them. With the MetalFAB1s integrated powder handling, where parts are automatically depowered after being built, not only do we make a much safer environment for the operator but the powder is stored in an inert environment from the moment its is produced by our powder suppliers through its entire life cycle in the MetalFAB1. In order to do this we had to become experts in powder. Watch the video

Building parts quicker and lower cost mustn’t be at the expense of quality. The large platform of the MetalFAB1 allows you to build not only large parts but also a greater number of small parts, helping to lower costs further. With multiple lasers, all able to at every point on the large platform, controlling such things as the gas flow become critical in achieving the desired quality. Watch the video

In a joint partnership of the engineering teams of Sigma Labs, a leading developer of in-process quality assurance software for the additive manufacturing industry, and Additive Industries, the MetalFAB1 is now qualified as PrintRite3D Ready. This will allow the MetalFAB1 to be equipped with a melt pool monitoring solution. Read more

One of the things people first associate with increasing productivity in Laser Powder Bed Fusion is increasing the number of lasers working at any one time. The full field lasers on the MetalFAB1 have many advantages as all lasers effectively work as one, meaning no visual stitching lines on parts, or overlap regions where the part is scanned twice leaving undesirable material properties. In this episode find out how Additive Industries provide the user the ability to control all these lasers exactly how you want whilst still ensuring quality. Watch the video

As productivity leaders we often get challenged to push the boundaries of parts built in additive manufacturing.

Additive Industries (which recently opened a U.S. office) supplies systems for production-scale metal additive manufacturing. Modules allow for 3D printing metal parts through selective laser melting and heat treating those same parts within a continuous line, as well as manual unloading via a separate operator module kept isolated from the metal powder. At Formnext, the company showed its latest unit for this system, a Product Removal Module that provides for in-line separation of the parts from their build plate and resurfacing of the same plate. The mechanism of these operations is machining, and the module is essentially a machine tool tailored to automated production AM. Read more [source: additivemanufacturingmedia]

On the first day of its Additive World Conference, Additive Industries has presented a new entry-level model of its MetalFAB1 industrial 3D metal printing system. The system is developed specifically for process & application development and prototyping. Its compact footprint and competitive price point help first time users to gain experience with metal additive manufacturing before scaling for series production. The modular architecture, typical for the MetalFAB1 system family, allows for upgrading to a full size MetalFAB1 system later. The technology and build volume (420 x 420 x 400 [mm]) are identical to the larger size systems for series production. 

On Monday February 13, 2017 Additive Industries announced the finalists of Additive World Design for Additive Manufacturing Challenge 2017 in two categories: professional or student designer.

In this Automotive World report, OEMs, suppliers and other leading stakeholders provide insight into how the technology could be used in vehicle production. Suppliers are keen, vehicle manufacturers are cautiously optimistic, and toolmakers sense an opportunity: 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is coming to the automotive industry. One of the quates from this report is from Daan Kersten, Co-Founder/CEO of Additive Industries: “Parts made with our technology fall within much smaller tolerance bandwidths. It also achieves tenfold productivity, which, depending on the part being made, typically results in a cost-per-part reduction of 40% to 50%”. To be able to read this full report, please click here.

Three years ago, Additive Industries started developing the first truly industrial 3D metal printing system, building on the mechatronic and system engineering experience of the Dutch Brainport region.
