Updated Generative-Design Software Offers Improved Automated Workflow |
Parameters
has released CogniCAD 4.0 generative-design software, an upgrade that
reportedly enables improved automated workflow for manufacturers. The
software provides a fully automated workflow based on inhouse-developed
topology optimization, high-resolution finite-element analysis (FEA) and
computational geometry, that requires no manual adjustment or
reconstruction, according to company officials.
“Manufacturers now have access to a one-of-a-kind technology that enables them to create lightweighted and structurally validated parts to meet their design and manufacturing needs,” says Dr. Michael Bogomolny, Paramatters cofounder and chief technology officer. “Designers and engineers can automatically generate high-performance designs that consider various manufacturing technologies and make decisions based on a cost, performance and time-to-market basis.” |

Hybrid Machining Centers Boast Seamless Switch Between Subtractive and Additive |
Romi
USA has introduced its D-series of hybrid-manufacturing machine tools,
teaming with Hybrid Manufacturing Technologies to develop three machine
models that combine traditional machining operations with metal additive
manufacturing (AM). Hybrid Manufacturing Technologies supplies more
than 10 Ambit Flex processing heads for each D-series hybrid machine,
enabling operational flexibility for a variety of applications including
machining with AM (metal, polymer or composites), and surface and
subsurface inspection. |

Desktop Metal Debuts Enhanced Office-Friendly Metal-AM System |
Desktop
Metal, Inc. has officially launched its Studio System 2, building off
of the Studio System+ with enhancements including new print profiles and
a new material system designed to deliver superior part quality,
accuracy and surface finish while minimizing printing trial and error
across a wide range of complex geometries, according to company
officials. Shipments are set to begin in the first quarter of 2021,
including upgrades for Studio System users.
In a two-step process. Studio System 2 eliminates the use of solvents
with all-new material formulations that allow parts to be transferred
directly from the printer into the furnace. The result is an accessible
two-step process with a nearly hands-free experience that also reduces
consumables usage and overall system footprint. It launches with Type
316L stainless steel, with releases of other materials slated for
rollout in 2021. |
