AddUp will help bring metal 3D printing to space
AddUp is part of the ambitious “Metal3D” project, which purpose is to create a 3D printer that will produce the first metal parts in space. This project is led by the European Space Agency (ESA), Airbus Defense and Space, and other industrial and academic partners such as Highftech Engineering and Cranfield University. In just a few months, metal parts will be printed on a very special printer. For the [...]
AddUp launches a new multi-scale monitoring software: AddUp Dashboards™
AddUp Dashboards is a multi-scale monitoring software that is available with all AddUp FormUp Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) and BeAM Directed Energy Deposition (DED) machines. The software provides a clear picture of both real time and historic process data for the machine and presents it in an easy-to-read dashboard view. Status Progress at a Glance AddUp Dashboards collects and displays data for an unlimited number of FormUp and BeAM machines [...]
Metal 3D printing: a new toolbox?
Manufacturers in the molding and tooling sectors are now making extensive use of 3D printing. They use plastic 3D printing to make prototype injection or lost-wax molds, 3D sand printing to make inserts, or stack multiple mold layers to make stack molds. Metal additive manufacturing, on the other hand, is developing less rapidly. However, laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) technology has several interesting advantages for these sectors. [...]
3D printing and aeronautics: get your ideas off the ground!
In June 2020, the French government launched a support plan for the aeronautics industry to help manufacturers in the sector overcome the consequences of the health crisis and encourage them to accelerate the reduction of the carbon footprint of their activities. (Plan de soutien à la filière aéronautique) 1.5 billion euros will be made available over the next three years to support research and development projects in this field. [...]
