| Paper Offers Guidance on Proper Handling of Powder-Condensate Waste |
Sintavia LLC has published an overview of proper handling procedures for powder-condensate waste generated as part of the powder-bed fusion additive manufacturing (AM) process. The paper, Overview of Disposal Procedures for Powder Condensate, was written by Ashley Wallace, Sintavia’s quality and environmental health and safety engineer, in collaboration with the Additive Manufacturer Green Trade Association (AMGTA) and Triumvirate Environmental.
“Knowing where each condensate stream is going is just as important as the proper preparation of each type of waste,” says Wallace. “As Sintavia has grown, we have recognized that proper disposal of all of our waste streams must be a priority.” |

| Wayland Additive Launches Calibur3 Metal-AM System |
Wayland Additive has launched its AM system for metal, the Calibur3, using the firm’s NeuBeam process which, according to company officials, effectively neutralizes the electron-beam (EB) powder bed fusion process to offer greater flexibility than laser-based AM processes while overcoming the stability issues experienced by some users of traditional EB systems.
NeuBeam reportedly is a hot-part rather than a hot-bed process, enabling
creation of parts free of residual stresses due to high temperatures
applied only to the part and not the bed. Thus, the process ensures
free-flowing powder post-build (no sinter cake) and stress-free parts
with reduced energy consumption. |

| Holo Introduces PureForm Platform to Print Pure Copper Parts in Volume |
Holo
Inc., a volume-production AM company located in Newark, CA, has
launched its PureForm high-resolution AM platform, enabling production
of high-performance pure-copper parts directly for customers.
“The challenge today with metal 3D printing is that the technologies are either too expensive and unable to scale for production, or low-resolution technologies, which limit applications,” says Arian Aghababaie, Holo co-founder and chief strategy officer. “Holo’s PureForm technology enables us to produce high-resolution components directly for our customers, at a fraction of the cost of existing AM technologies and in production volumes.” |

| Metal AM Yields High-Performance Servo Valves, Aids Sustainability Quest |
Domin,
a UK-based company that has developed a range of fluid-power products,
has, with Renishaw metal-AM technology, produced a high-performance
servo valve. Producing the valve via AM helps Domin in its quest to
reduce CO2 emissions, as use of each of these valves delivers system efficiencies that reportedly save 1000 kg of CO2 as compared with alternative products.
The company employed a four-laser Renishaw RenAM 500Q AM system to print
electrohydraulic valves, designed for demanding servo applications and
marketed as small, light, affordable and high-performance products. |
