The company sees Bulk-To-Shape as an umbrella of various 3D printing technologies that can be used to enhance existing manufacturing systems and will offer a transformational approach to using metal additive manufacturing in an industrial setting. The company is offering their expertise and decades of experience to help companies enhance their production lines using state-of-the-art Fonon Corporation technology. The goal is to enable manufacturers to reliably integrate metal 3D printing technology into their full production workflow, and potentially demonstrate a disruptive shift in the industrial manufacturing sector.
“Medical, aviation, automotive, and space industry metal printing experts use a measurement system called Manufacturing Readiness Level to classify additive manufacturing machines. While Manufacturing Readiness Level Ten represents machines ready for production, these experts have classified currently-available systems as within a range of Level Four to Level Six. Bulk-To-Shape technology is the quickest path for these industries to achieve Manufacturing Readiness Level Ten,” explained the Vice President of Fonon Corporation Louis Schlegel.
As one of the leading developers of industrial-grade 3D Additive and Subtractive laser-based material processing and fabrication technologies, Fonon Corporation have been experts in the industry since the early 1980s. They have a large portfolio of technological innovations that have allowed them to customize 3D laser-based manufacturing equipment based on each individual customer’s needs. Fonon Corporation technology is used by companies all over the world, including industries as diverse as semiconductors, flat panel displays, automotive manufacturing, aerospace manufacturing, industrial development, defense, electronic and medical industries.
The company is now offering to help manufacturers, high tech developers and industrial partners develop their own cutting edge laser-based additive manufacturing technology. Their Bulk-To-Shape technology is available immediately for the development of customer-specific applications and tooling.
