Additive Manufacturing Systems
The process of joining materials to make parts from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer, using digital manufacturing technologies that include powder bed fusion, binder jetting (3D printing), material jetting, sheet lamination, material extrusion, directed energy deposition, and VAT polymerization.
Digitalization and Additive Manufacturing Leverage the Real and Virtual Worlds
Advances in additive manufacturing processes enable machine shops to rethink and/or reinvent their manufacturing, which supports the attraction of business from new markets.

Servo motors and robots are transforming additive applications. Learn the latest tips and applications when implementing robotic automation and advanced motion control for additive and subtractive manufacturing, as well as what’s next: think hybrid additive/subtractive methods.
Pre-build calibration is critical to part quality for metal additive manufacturing, and the process is easier than ever.
In its drive to develop an end-to-end solution for additive manufacturing, Siemens Digital Industries Software offers tools that simulate the printing process at various levels. To minimize the expensive quality-refinement process, modules identify and correct areas of malformation and shrinkage.
Although 3D metal printing is becoming more popular, finishing remains a challenging and arduous task. Understanding how post-processing works and how to measure results will help you optimize this crucial step.
Wayland Additive Ltd. (Huddersfield, England) has announced that it will exhibit its metal additive manufacturing (AM) system, Calibur3, at Formnext 2021, which will take place Nov. 16-19 in Frankfurt, Germany.
Xiris Automation Inc. (Burlington, ON, Canada) has announced the development of the XIR-1800 thermal camera system for additive manufacturing and critical metal joining processes.
