We’re finishing up with formnext news in today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, and then moving on to a presentation and some business. Flightware presented its work on LPBF in-situ inspection and closed loop control at formnext, and a free online 3D printing summit will be held live next week. NASA just purchased its third Factory in a Tool from nScrypt, and EnvisionTEC Launched its EnvisionOne cDLM system in the European market. Finally, Digital Metal has announced a new partnership.
Flightware Presented at formnext 2019
The video focused on in-situ inspection of LPBF using Layer Topographic Mapping (LTM) technology, which measures the melt layer quality of each layer formed in order to improve process yield and decrease unit cost. The video about closed loop control shows development, and a demo, of LPBF technology with Inconel 625.
Free Online 3D Printing Seminar
“Online 3D Printing Summit’s mission is simple…Get some of 3D printing’s most knowledgeable minds to divulge their best practices, top tips and secret hacks to improve your prints, projects and designs,” Summit host Ed Tyson states on the event website.
NASA Purchases Third nScrypt Factory in a Tool
“We selected the nScrypt platform because it is capable of printing onto a range of shaped surfaces using a wide range of materials of varying viscosity, particularly conductive materials,” stated Omar Torres, NASA’s lead of the wireless avionics community of practice. “This allows the printing of a conformal antenna with the possibility of reaching frequencies as low as 150 MHz. This nScrypt platform delivers amazing capabilities at the lowest cost in the market.”
EnvisionTEC Launches Envision One cDLM in Europe
Sobhi Aris, Managing Director of EnvisionTEC GmbH, said, “Envision One uses patented cDLM technology with zero separation forces during the build process coupled with a continuous movement option, allowing for the delivery of 3D printed parts at an incredible speed without any loss of accuracy.”
Digital Metal Partners with Elnik Systems and DHS Technologies
Christian Lönne, the General Manager of Digital Metal AB, said, “Learning and exploring together with the curious and highly experienced people at Elnik Systems/DSH Technologies LLC means that we together can provide even higher consistency and stability, as well exploring new fields for our fast growing customer base.”
