How Do You Know Your AM Laser is Performing to Spec?
September 7, 2022
| How Do You Know Your AM Laser is Performing to Spec? |
How
can you ensure that your additive-manufacturing (AM) laser is
performing as needed to produce high quality, consistent builds? You can
assume all is well, or you can ensure that you have the data that show
what's working and what's not.
That’s the theme of this free webinar from 3D Metal Printing magazine and Ophir at MKS Instruments, scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 8.
Some modern in-situ tools provide a partial picture of the performance of the lasers that are empowering your 3D laser printers, but they often don’t tell the complete story because they capture only a portion of the laser system. In this webinar, you’ll learn the what, why and how around the latest innovations in uncooled power meters designed for the AM workspace, and self-contained laser-beam profilers that provide views of the working beam, and monitor the location of the beam waist and any focal shift that may be occurring. |

| Czinger Unveils New Models of AM-Heavy ‘Hypercar’ |
| Czinger Vehicles revealed two additions to its lineup during Monterey Car Week in mid-August: the 21C V Max and Hyper GT. The 21C V Max is described by Czinger officials as the world’s first human-artificial intelligence-designed and 3D-printed hypercar. All Czinger models employ metal and nonmetal AM courtesy of the Divergent Adaptive Production System (DAPS), a modular, digital production system for complex structures, developed by Divergent, the automobiles’ builder. |

| Vacuum Heat Treating 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. |

| Airline Orders for AM-Intensive Supersonic Passenger Aircraft |
|
|
|
|
| Boom Supersonic, Denver, CO, which has been busy developing supersonic aircraft—with AM a significant piece of the puzzle—in hopes of supplying commercial aviation, has accepted a deposit from American Airlines for purchase of as many as 20 planes, and an option to buy 20 more. The firm has relied on AM to develop and produce unique parts that can withstand the high temperatures and other challenges of supersonic flight. For example, in 2020, Velo3D announced that the Boom Supersonic XB-1 developmental aircraft includes 21 titanium flight-hardware components manufactured by Velo3D’s Sapphire 3D metal printer. |

| Tech Centers Help Manufacturers Jump Aboard the Metal-AM Train |
Many manufacturers continue to struggle to clearly identify how AM might benefit their companies. Enter the role of the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT). And, more AM expertise lies just up the road from CCAT, at the University of Connecticut’s Pratt & Whitney Additive Manufacturing Center.
AMUG Delivers Again in 2022
Delivering on its mantra of “for users, by users,” the 2022 Additive Manufacturing Users Group Conference took over the Hilton Chicago this past April, with more than 1800 attendees on hand. They took in a program designed to bolster training and hands-on experiences even beyond the formidable offerings of past AMUG conferences. Here we present a bevy of highlights. |
