MatterHackers Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, Mara Hitner, is joined by particular company Eric Woodridge of Somerset Neighborhood School and Mark Holthaus of L3Harris in addition to moderator Robert Schoenberger for an in-depth dialogue on superior supplies and their rising presence in 3D printing, particularly BASF Ultrafuse 316L, a polymer and 316L stainless-steel composite filament that yields pure metallic parts by way of commonplace FFF printer methods and case research using this additive manufacturing course of for instruments, jigs, and fixtures in each the academic {and professional} worlds.
Find out how Somerset Neighborhood School is making actual stainless-steel metallic components on $400 3D printers, sending them away for debinding and sintering, after which machining and welding the components at a fraction of the price of conventional strategies of fabrication. L3Harris is saving hundreds printing 316L in-house versus utilizing service bureaus for his or her work.
The dialogue additionally contains technical data, such because the parameters and capabilities of working with this materials, together with: hotend and mattress temperatures, nozzle necessities, anisotropic shrinkage, bowden and construct floor compatibility, and extra.
Lastly, the presenters draw parallels between current different conventional manufacturing processes similar to funding casting, the occupational and security hazards related to these strategies, and the function this new know-how may play in changing standard manufacturing processes within the circumstances of speedy prototyping or small-scale industrial metallic manufacturing.
You should purchase BASF Ultrafuse 316L HERE, or e-mail gross sales@matterhackers.com with questions on how to make sure success along with your use case.
