VIEW THIS EMAIL IN BROWSER   Presented By: American Precision Museum   The BuildUp How additive manufacturing is transforming production Additive Manufacturing Facilities Are Evolving By Fiona Lawler, Associate Editor   Additive manufacturing facilities are becoming more efficient and creative in addressing the needs of both the companies that own them and the customers they serve. Nowadays, additive manufacturers can find the right space for business within a variety of choices such as: Rent. Buy. Build. Expand into an additive community. In the case of Protolabs in Raleigh, North Carolina, building an entirely new space to house the company’s metal 3D printers proved the best course of action. Utilizing inspiration and knowledge learned from its predecessor building, Protolabs was able to design a new facility to address past challenges and set itself up for future endeavors.

Automated production calls for automated postprocessing. UK startup Rivelin Robotics is equipping robots with the capabilities needed for critical, fine detail finishing of metal 3D printed parts. The company launched patented robotic technology focused on AM’s postprocessing needs, particularly metal AM’s needs.   2. Sigma Additive Solutions has partnered with DyeMansion to add an integrated hardware/software solution for increased quality assurance of DyeMansion’s postprocessing solutions. The real-time monitoring and data analytics provided by Sigma complement DyeMansion’s systems, and together they reduce cost per part while increasing quality and sustainability.   3. Formlabs’ Finishing Tools provide a curated set of stereolithography (SLA) postprocessing instruments said to streamline workflow and more easily produce high-quality parts. The company says the tool bundle removes the guesswork regarding which tools are needed to complete a project, accelerating both postprocessing and cleaning processes.   4. AM Solutions offers a variety of postprocessing systems for additive manufacturing, including its compact M4 solution, which combines a rotary vibrator with water cleaning. The systems are designed to provide a higher degree of automation and a streamlined approach to the entire process chain for more sustainable and cost-efficient production.     LATEST | MAGAZINE | AM RADIO | THE COOL PARTS SHOW | NEW TO AM?
