| 3D Systems Debuts Hybrid-Material Guides for Maxillofacial Surgeries |
3D Systems has announced availability of its VSP (Virtual Surgical Planning) Hybrid Guides for maxillofacial surgical applications, manufactured using the company’s titanium and nylon materials on its nonmetal- and metal-AM machines. The guides are produced using 3D Systems’ LaserForm Ti and DuraForm ProX PA materials on the DMP Flex 350 and ProX SLS 6100 production-grade AM systems.
“3D Systems and its VSP surgical planning and guides are an integral part of my ability to deliver highly successful outcomes for my patients undergoing corrective jaw surgery,” says Dr. Jay Neugarten of the New York Center for Orthognathics and Maxillofacial Surgery. |

| Watch: Burloak Technologies Adds Quintus HIP to Aid AM-Production Scaling |
|
|
|
|
Canadian
AM provider Burloak Technologies has deployed a QIH 60 M URC hot
isostatic press (HIP) from Quintus Technologies to provide improved part
mechanical performance and strength properties. Burloak produces parts
for applications in aerospace, automotive and industrial markets,
focusing on transitioning challenging part designs for AM at scale,
hence the addition of the HIP.
High-pressure heat-treatment capability of the QIH 60 (see video) facilitates
the transition by combining high pressure, heat treatment and cooling
in a single process that reportedly allows time- and cost-saving removal
of several operations from the AM production line. |

| Strong and Ductile 3D Metal Printed Components |
| Since
3D printing builds to near net or finished dimensions, vacuum heat
treating is an absolute necessity. Vacuum levels that approach 1 X 10-6
Torr produce clean and oxide free surface conditions that are
metallurgically stable. Critical temperature control is also a must to
avoid cracking and producing a strong and ductile part. |
