The July/August issue of Additive Manufacturing is out. Read the Digital Edition here! https://lnkd.in/gFQjbF2Z 👈 Snippets from this issue: 🔹 Applying DED to production is not a technological challenge but an organizational one. We look at what it means to implement a quality system. 🔹 A startup is providing an alternative to traditional casting and forging. Success so far has led to the company redefining the limits of its additive equipment. 🔹 Formnext Chicago is set to arrive next year. AMT president and VP of Formnext at Mesago Messe Frankfurt talk about the long road to this event. 🔹 A maker of machine tools replaces an outsourced plating step with production on a hybrid. The result is dramatic reduction in time and CO2. 🔹 An expert in AM of high-value DOD parts often must change material in its powder bed machines. We present lessons from this company's system. 🔹 The design freedom possible with laser powder bed fusion is making it easier and faster to produce complex anticavitation devices for valves. #additivemanufacturing #3Dprinting #manufacturing

🌟 PART 2 of our 🎧 AM Radio series on additive manufacturing at NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration is now live! Find it linked in the comments or in your favorite podcast app. In this episode (no. 52 in the feed), Peter Zelinski and I talk with Timothy W. Simpson about what he's seen and observed within NASA as part of an intergovernmental personal act (IPA) agreement that split his time between NASA and Penn State for the last two years. In this conversation we get into... 🚀 Challenges of deploying AM across a large organization 🚀 The drivers behind NASA's choice of AM over other potential manufacturing methods 🚀 The shift from establishing credibility for additive as a whole to establishing trust in the parts made this way 🚀 NASA's commonalities with commercial space alongside the distinct role that it plays in supporting, not supplanting industry 🚀 Some VERY COOL 3D printing wins, including this heat exchanger currently being used to make oxygen on Mars (I mean, come on) #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #Space #NASA
