3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGIES
Additive manufacturing technology is the process of adding and bonding layers of material to form parts. However this contrasts with traditional manufacturing processes that either mould the finished part all at once or are subtractive.
Some of the following Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) technologies are available on the market: Material Extrusion (FFF/FDM), Vat Polymerisation (SLA, DLP), Powder Bed Fusion (SLS, SLM, EBM, DLMS), Material Jetting, Binder Jetting, Directed Energy Deposition and Sheet Lamination technologies. This knowledge opens up new design possibilities across a multitude of applications. Thus achieving high levels of precision, even on intricate shapes and geometries.
Our ADDIT Academy features information on some of the most advanced Additive Technologies available on the market today. This in addition helps our customers to grow their business, as well as make right business decisions.
Altogether this technology advancement not only saves costs for our customers, but also enables them to gain competitive edge on international scale.
3D PRINTING MATERIALS
Our ADDIT Academy offers information on the different materials that can be used with different additive manufacturing machines. In any event our materials Experts provide assistance to our customers during their material selection process.
Majority of 3D Printing materials can be classified in; Polymers (solid filaments, powder, resin) and Metals (mostly found in powder form). Comparatively, some 3D printing technologies also make use of sand, ceramics (typically a polymer filled with ceramic powder) or composites (chopped carbon filled filaments or metal-nylon powder).
We provide material selection catalogues, along with developing parameters and testing protocols to achieve desired material properties. As a result, we reduce the printability cycle time needed to configure new alloys.
ADDIT 3D PRINTING CONSULTING
We imbed our Experts with your team, learning what your products do now and what you need them to become. This gives us the opportunity to critically analyze your product and explore possible solutions.
There are several key criteria in choosing 3D technology for your next design. Some of these criteria include design and material application, required level of surface finish, costs, detailing, as well as durability.
Our team of consultants is there to navigate your team through this specific process. Likewise we help to determine whether a part is appropriate for additive technology or is better produced conventionally. In either case an illustration of the economic and performance benefits for your business will be provided.
