The AM Industry is Entering its Next Phase.
The conversation around metal additive manufacturing has changed. For years, the focus was on proving that AM worked. Today, the challenge is very different. Read more
A critical pillar of process control
In metal AM, inert shielding gas flow is not just a supporting function—it’s a critical pillar of process control. As systems scale, so does the challenge. Larger build volumes, higher laser counts, and increased laser power all drive a higher rate of process emissions. Without precise control, spatter and condensate fumes can compromise consistency and…
Realise the full potential of multi-laser printing of large scan areas without stitch zones
At Additive Industries, we continue to push the boundaries of productivity and quality in metal AM. With Dynamic Laser Assignment (DLA) 2.0, MetalFab users can take full control of how our full-field lasers operate across every layer of a build.
Full field lasers with MetalFab™ systems: the benefits of full field v zonal in multi-laser powder bed fusion systems
For large frame metal additive manufacturing systems (build area >400×400mm) there are significant advantages to utilizing multiple lasers to produce parts, but primarily the addition of lasers means faster build rates, higher throughput and ultimately lower part cost. However, integrating…
The benefits of full scan field v zonal in multi-laser powder bed fusion systems
We believe that full scan field capability is fundamental to the multi-laser powder bed fusion process, and the reason that all #MetalFab systems are built on this architecture. Read more [Picture source: Additive Industries on linkedin.com]
