July 17: 3d Printed Chemically Resistance Masks for Electroplating

The latest webinar in the America Makes TRX series, “3D Printed Chemically Resistant Masks for Electroplating MRO,” will be this Wednesday the 17th at 2 pm EST. The aerospace industry performs a lot of electroplating, and anodes and masks are used by aerospace maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) plating shops for selective deposition of materials where specific properties, like abrasion-resistance, are needed. Figure Engineering developed an AM polymer for masking metal parts ahead of industrial electroplating, using Formlabs MSLA printers. During the webinar, Jonathon McDaniels, Chief Scientist, Figure Engineering, and Chris Crowley, Federal Team Lead, Formlabs, will discuss how AM can be used to meet the challenges of aerospace masking applications for MRO plating shops.

“Aerospace maintenance activities need a cost effective, rapidly manufacturable, multi-use masking system for plating components. Additive manufacturing is the solution for manufacturing these masking fixtures but no 3D printable materials were identified that were tough enough, nonporous, electrically non-conductive, and resistant to the chemicals and temperatures encountered in an aerospace plating shop.”

July 18: 3D Systems EXT 800 Titan Pellet 3D Printer

Also on the 18th, at 2 pm ICT (3 am EST), 3D Systems will be “Introducing the EXT 800 Titan – the new accessible high-speed industrial pellet extrusion 3D printer” to viewers in Bangkok. This machine makes the company’s high-speed pellet extrusion technology accessible to organizations that don’t have the need, or the budget, for a larger 3D Systems printer. Attendees will learn about they can benefit from the EXT 800 Titan’s smaller footprint and lower upfront investment, production platform with open material architecture and refined design, and more.

“With a build volume of 800 x 600 x 800 mm, this new pellet extrusion system harnesses the speed, reliability, and efficiency of the Company’s large-format EXT Titan Pellet systems (EXT 1070 Titan Pellet and EXT 1270 Titan Pellet) in a more compact format with lower upfront investment. As a result, manufacturers can take advantage of the lights-out, production-ready EXT 800 Titan Pellet to fabricate more modestly sized functional prototypes, tooling, fixtures, sand casting patterns, thermoforming molds, and end-use parts.”
