Fortify和Tethon 3D合作伙伴开发新的陶瓷添加剂制造雷电竞充值

Fortify, the Boston-based company behind the Digital Composite Manufacturing (DCM) 3D printing platform, has partnered with ceramic 3D printing specialistTethon 3D开发新的技术陶瓷用于增材制造。雷电竞充值

根据该协议,这些公司将将Tethon在陶瓷配方中的专业知识与Fortify的Composite 3D打印技术相结合,以实现最终用途零件的大量生产。合作伙伴将努力为各种工业陶瓷应用以及政府机构的几个机密项目。

使用Fortify的Flux Core打印机和Flux开发人员软件,Tethon已经在其位于内华达州奥马哈的R&D设施开发了两种新的陶瓷材料。

Fortify首席执行官兼联合创始人Joshua Martin说:“将我们的平台扩展到技术陶瓷市场是强化的自然发展。”“用这些材料推动信封需要处理高度负载,磨料和粘性材料。这些是在各种技术光聚合物中推动我们成功的相同功能。”

技术陶瓷市场

Fortify和Tethon都期望技术陶瓷市场的新长期增长,并从2021年至2027年获得复杂的年增长率(CAGR)预计将达到33%。特别是强化,希望加快从传统的陶瓷制造方法($ 8B市场)到增材制造的过渡。雷电竞充值

Technical ceramics themselves have a wide variety of advanced applications, including extreme temperature parts, highly wear-resistant components, and chemical contacting devices. Unfortunately, limitations in manufacturing processes have historically inhibited their growth as a sector but with 3D printing now on the rise, complex geometries can be fabricated with ease. The partners expect this to play a key role in accelerating the adoption of technical ceramics.

“We are excited to partner with Fortify as the ceramics market grows,” explains Trent Allen, CEO of Tethon 3D. “We have clear demand from our customer base for more production-oriented solutions. Fortify Flux printers are a natural complement to our Bison 1000 DLP printer customers as they look to scale their operations.”

Fortify HP-A 99.8 and LS-AS

Having installed a FLUX CORE printer at its Omaha facility in mid-June, Tethon 3D has developed two new materials which are set to be showcased at the快速 + TCT事件本月在芝加哥。强化高纯度氧化铝(HP-A 99.8)和低收缩铝硅酸盐(LS-AS据报道,市场上任何可比材料的收缩率最低。

HP-A 99.8是一种充满氧化铝的光蛋白,仅收缩12%。它是针对需要介电强度,耐腐蚀性,导热性和硬度的应用专门开发的。另一方面,LS-AS是一种通用陶瓷,其收缩率异常低5%。

“与Fortify一起推动新的材料配方是一种乐趣,” Tethon 3d的首席技术官Greg Pugh总结道。“通量核心系统的整体鲁棒性以及磁通开发人员同时验证多个变量的能力确实缩短了我们在新材料上的交付时间。客户的关键需求是较高的纯度材料,低收缩率以及通过印刷和烧结更快的处理。强化的合作伙伴关系在每个指标上都提高了我们的技术。”

Just last month, 3D printer manufacturer3D系统合格的两种新的3D打印合金for use with the company’s DMP technology. ‘Certified Scalmalloy’ is a durable aluminum that ‘bridges the gap’ between traditionally-cast alloys like AlSi10Mg and Ti Gr23, while ‘Certified M789’ is a cobalt-free alloy with excellent hardness. The materials are expected to see extensive use in the automotive and aerospace sectors.

Elsewhere, UK-based 3D printing filament developerFilamentiverecently announced thelaunch of its new PLA Tough material。PLA Tough旨在将ABS的影响力与PLA的易用性和环境益处相结合,以作为工业级产品销售。
