$125 million  Cost Savings Due to Use of 3D Printing - Additive Manufacturing


Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies perhaps has the most obscene savings. As of FY 2018, they have printed more than 60,000 tooling fixtures for product testing and calculated $125 million in cost avoidance. Its customer is the Department of Energy’s Kansas City National Security Campus, which makes non-nuclear components for national defense systems.

New Additive materials data added to e-Xstream engineering’s Digimat-AM Advanced Solver to Support Simulation

Solvay is adding 10% carbon fibre filled KetaSpire polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and neat Radel polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) to e-Xstream engineering’s latest release (2019.0) of Digimat-Additive Manufacturing (AM) software. KetaSpire PEEK AM filament data is already available for simulation on e-Xstream engineering’s Digimat-AM platform.

Digimat-AM allows customers to simulate the printing process and successfully predict the thermomechanical behaviour of 3D-printed designs in order to print right the first time.

The software offers highly accurate, predictive modelling data for Solvay’s AM filaments over a wide range of critical characteristics, including detailed warpage and residual stress, to help designers and engineers optimise the process and minimise part deformation before printing.

For highly demanding applications, Digimat further enables design validation by predicting the printed part performance (stiffness, strength, etc.) as a function of the material and the printing process parameters.

The  partnership stengthens  simulation engineering task between high-performance polymers and demanding printing processes such as Fused Filament Fabrication.

INSIDE 3D PRINTING Expo
held in Mumbai,  Jan 9, 2019

'Inside 3D Printing' Mumbai is India's premium exhibition for Additive Manufacturing (AM). The 4th edition of this expo took place at Nehru Centre, Mumbai, India on 19th & 20th December 2018.

The expo had 30 exhibitors showcasing their 48 brands. Some of the prominent ones included Imaginarium India, HP, 3D System, Shree Rapid Tech, Intech, DMLS,Novabeans, WOL#D,Flashforge, Stratasys, DesignTech, Redington, 3D, Wipro 3 D, Renishaw and Bharat Forge Ltd.

AM is bringing constructive disruption in the Indian industry, at a scorching pace. Take for example, the Indian Jewellery Industry where 75% of the Jewellery moulds are 3D printed.

By 2021 the 3D printing industry in India is expected to cross USD 200 million according to estimates by Indian 3D Printing Network. The Indian 3D Printing Market currently pegged at about Rs 850 crore is growing at about 22% pa and set to become Rs 1500 crore by 2021.

ABSTRACT


Overcoming some of their process limitations of additive manufacturing technologies is  important now. Two such limitations of present layer-based fabrication are slow speed and geometric constraints.

Holography is now in use as a means for storage and retrieval of 3D geometrical information. This research  explores the use of holographically-shaped light fields for producing three-dimensional structures in a “volume at once” approach. Using spatial light modulator (SLM) technology, phase-controlled light fields are projected into photopolymer resin to cure a desired geometry. By overlapping multiple sub-regions of a single light field within the target volume, the successful fabrication of non-periodic complex 3D geometries is demonstrated by single exposures on timescales of seconds in this research project.

The research also created  a complete prototype platform that makes this approach possible, comprising a suitable hardware configuration along with the computational algorithms necessary to calculate and optimize the required optical fields.

A study of the photopolymerization kinetics is also carried out, to determine the boundaries of usable process parameters such as resin absorbance and available light intensity.

The results indicate that low-absorbing resins containing ~0.1% photoinitiator, illuminated at modest powers (~10-100 mW) may be used to produce full 3D structures from 1-10 second exposures, with volume build rates exceeding 100 cm3/hr. There is no need for a substrate or support material that are necessary in the present layer by layer 3D printing.

SMED to  SM3D


The layer by layer 3D Printing will be substituted by a 3D image created in the resin by holography and within minutes you have the shape you want.

The SMED now becomes SM3D.

You will be able use items made using this technology.

If you are an engineer, you have a new technology to learn and develop.

If you are scientist, you have research opportunities.

Feel proud as the science underlying might have been initially discovered during 1750’s.  What you think today and discover benefits the universe some day or other.
