碳and Ford debut 3D printed end-use parts at NAIAS

今天,,位于硅谷的公司数字光合成(DLS)3D打印技术已首次亮相福特,在North American International Auto Show(NAIAS)在底特律。

Together, the companies are displaying Ford Focus HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Cooling) Lever Arm Service Parts, Ford F-150 Raptor Auxiliary Plugs, and Ford Mustang GT500 Electric Parking Brake Brackets.

“We are thrilled to be collaborating with Ford and are excited about the many opportunities to leverage the power of digital manufacturing to deliver durable, end-use parts with similar – or better – properties as injection molded parts,” said Dr. Joseph DeSimone, CEO and Co-founder of Carbon.

“The automotive industry shows significant promise for using digital fabrication at scale, and our work with Ford is a perfect example of the kind of innovation you can achieve when you design on the means of production.”

碳,福特和3D打印

根据Joy H. Forsmark是福特汽车公司研究和高级工程实验室的技术专家,福特认为自己是3D印刷的最早采用者之一。这是因为该公司在1988年购买了“有史以来制造的第三次立体光刻机”。

Following this, with an interest in optimizing production,福特partnered with Carbon in 2015。Since then, the partners have established anAdvanced Manufacturing Centerin Redford, Michigan, to 3D print parts the Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 sports car.

福特continues to leverage Carbon’s DLS technology andEPX(环氧树脂)82材料which has passed rigorous performance standards including interior weathering; short- and long-term heat exposures; UV stability; fluid and chemical resistance; flammability; and fogging.

数字光合成

DLS technology is enabled by连续液体界面生产(夹子)。该过程使用数字光投影,氧气渗透光学元件和可编程液体树脂,以制造具有“优质的机械性能,分辨率和表面饰面”的零件。

升级original M1 model, Carbon’s M2 3D printer has used CLIP to produce阿迪达斯的Futurecraft 4D3D printed midsoles. The M2 also plays a central role in Carbon’sSpeedCell系统,一种将3D打印机连接到碳智能零件洗涤器的配置,从而提高了生产力。雷电竞app下载
