With the AMUG Conference and Rapid+TCT under our belt, the AM industry has already covered a lot of ground in 2023. So far this year, we’ve seen an uptake in interest across all sectors on how 3D printing technology can boost production, transform business models, and support sustainable manufacturing. Aerospace, defense, and medical are still […]
3D printing makes complex parts possible
For decades, components such as impellers, vanes, pumps, and housings have been manufactured using a labor-intensive, lost-wax investment casting process that requires 12 separate steps. This challenging, costly, and time-consuming process requires additional steps and tooling to create soluble or ceramic cores that form complex internal ports, passages, channels, and baffles. However, manufacturers now use […]
