You may have known very well about how SLM 3D metal printers print the parts in the building chamber by MPBF technology, yet do you know what's the next phases a part need to be through before it become a perfect printed? Today let's talk about 3D Printing's heat treatment. 3D metal printing technology requires heat treatment to improve the print's mechanical properties...

Supportless printing in the metal additive manufacturing industry refers to a production method in which a support structure is not used during manufacturing. However, the support structure is always needed during metal 3d printing. For example, support is added to the cantilever structure and fine structure to strengthen the strength of the component structure, so as to...

Metal additive manufacturing is a complex process, which is achieved through the interaction and cooperation of different systems. In addition to laser optics and the quality of the material powder, maintaining an inert gas environment within the metal 3D printer also plays an important role in the quality of metal additive manufacturing. In order to prevent molten meta...

One of the most widely used is the field of dental material manufacturing. CoCrMo is an alloy composed of cobalt, chromium, molybdenum and other metal elements & non-metal elements. CoCrMo has the characteristics of favourable mechanical properties, wear resistance, high corrosion resistance, non-irritant, non-toxic, and non-carcinogenic, so it has become the main mater...

Previous cosmetics packaging containers are mainly using manual or CNC process, but the process not only has complicated process, but also with higher cost. To a large extent, it has affected the product marketing time. And 3D printing is specialized at "design is production", so how does the cosmetics industry customize products through 3D printing? Packaging and Conta...

Metal lattice structure also has a wide application in aerospace industry. Its advantages includes high mechanical properties, high specific strength, good energy absorption capacity and strong thermal characteristics. Metal lattice structure generally show better performance and characteristics in terms of specific strength and energy absorption than conventional struct...

It absorbs impact force more effectively and can be customized according to different requirements. At present, it is mainly used in aerospace, medical, tool and other different fields, with broad application prospects. At the same time, parts made with a complex internal lattice structure has its unique advantages, and can not be made through the traditional manufacturi...

SLS 3D printing relies on high temperature carbon dioxide laser for powder sintering. SLS printer contains a powder bed and a roller which will spread the thin layer of powder and sinter the powder according to the design from 3D model file. While printing, the platform drops down according to the printing design, and the printing process is carried out based on the desi...

Background For most commuters, the daily driving commute is changeless. To make it less boring, some car owners pursing the individuation style which lead to the idea that modify their cars lawfully, such as having the auto exhaust pipe customized. Due to the limitation of conventional soldering technology, traditional exhaust pipe manufacturing faces the problem of to...

Customization of processing by additive manufacturing As additive manufacturing technology continues to advance, so does its application and accessibility. Rapid prototyping and tooling are at the forefront of 3D printing, but the goal has always been to be able to print directly for production or directly for manufacturing. The medical world is no exception. Although t...

Although larger industrial heat exchangers still use traditional manufacturing techniques, most of the time, the demand for heat exchangers is moving towards smaller and smaller sizes and more compact structures. The main benefit provided by 3D printing-additive manufacturing technology is increased design freedom, which allows for more efficient heat transfer while red...

In the field of tire mold manufacturing, 3D printing technology has two levels of application: first, complex tire molds, especially steel sheet manufacturing in winter tires or snow tire molds that require high performance. This technology has been used in tire molds at home and abroad. Put into use in large factories; another level is the integrated manufacturing of co...

The defects in MPBF process can be divided into the defects in powder recoating process and the defects in printing process. The defects in powder recoating process include irregular powder layer, and the defects in printing process include spatter, balling phenomenon, gas porosity, surface roughness, cracks, geometric deformation, etc. In the following, the cause of dif...

Turbine blades are one of the most important components of an engine, and the materials used are usually very expensive. The turbine blade is thin and easy to deform during processing, and the processing material Monel alloy, Inconel, titanium and nickel based alloy increases the difficulty of processing, which puts forward higher requirements on the processing technolog...

The heat exchanger is used for temperature control. It is one of the most important parts of industrial equipment. The heat exchanger allows heat to be transferred from one fluid to another, and its main purpose is to heat or cool the element. In the industrial field, the cooling function is more often used to prevent equipment from overheating. The use of heat exchange...

After World War II, the word "superalloy" came into being to describe a kind of high-performance alloys, which was specifically developed to extend the service life of aircraft parts exposed to extreme high temperature. Superalloy with nickel, iron, cobalt as the base, through the addition of alloy elements to achieve a variety of metal characteristics of super fusion, c...
