3DEO赢得金属3D印刷锚链接的设计卓越奖

金属3D打印专家3deohas been awarded a win at the 2020设计卓越奖竞赛for its metal 3D printed production part. The steel part, an anchor link, marks the company’s efforts in pushing forward a new technology and design with commercial success.

竞争,由International Trade Association for Metal Powder Industries(MPIF),邀请金属粉末零件制造商提交他们全年制造的组件。它分为三个主要的技术类别(金属添加剂制造是其中之一),并根据其展示粉末冶金的优势的能力来提交法官。雷电竞充值

3DEO的联合创始人兼首席技术官Payman Torabi博士指出:“我们很荣幸获得MPIF的裁定。对于3DEO来说,这是一个了不起的成就,突出了我们在过去18个月中取得的巨大飞跃,将我们的技术商业化。”

智能分层

3deo有自己的专有金属3D打印技术称为智能分层。有趣的是,该公司实际上并没有出售其打印机,而是选择为有兴趣的任何人提供3D打印服务。3DEO声称其非正统的业务决定旨在“减轻入门的负担”,同时降低客户的最终成本。

智能分层is a binder jetting-based 3D printing technology, whereby a liquid binding agent is selectively sprayed onto a bed of metal powder, fusing the individual granules into solid layers. 3DEO’s machines also have an additional subtractive toolhead that mills the printed parts into the desired final shape if need be. The company focuses on 17-4PH stainless steel but advertises other material possibilities such as copper and titanium.

Torabi补充:“3D printing is an incredible modern tool with a lot of advantages. You can’t utilize all its potential powers with an outdated mindset or approach. We as engineers, designers, builders, and innovators need to start rethinking our methods so all of humanity can witness and benefit from a new industrial revolution.”

Toppling the CNC throne

3Deo以其低价和高零件的潜力而自豪。它的技术旨在在部分定价,材料特性和吞吐量方面成为传统制造业的直接竞争者。实际上,其3D打印的锚链接必须胜过通过通过常规的粉末冶金和金属注塑成型。

Dr. Matt Petros, 3DEO’s CEO, concludes: “It is particularly exciting to me that the winning component is a high-volume production part, not a one-off prototype. We had to out-compete CNC machining to win the production order, and we did that with a lower piece price AND the ability to seamlessly scale quantities into very high volumes. It was a ‘win-win’ for both 3DEO and our customer.”

Earlier this year, 3DEO significantly ramped up its production, passing the150,000最终用途零件里程碑这项成就对于按需添加剂制造商来说是一项重要的成就,因为它巩固了公司的市场业务与现在与之竞争的更常规的制造技术。

大约在同一时间,3DEO还宣布了三位数年增长在2019年的业务指标中。大约40%的客户从事国防行业,有35%的客户在医疗中,而25%的客户在航空航天中。
