Oerlikon and Hirtenberger Engineered Surfaces collaborate to accelerate industrialization of AM parts

Oerlikon AM, the additive manufacturing unit of global technology group Oerlikon, and Hirtenberger Engineered Services have entered into a strategic alliance to further industrialize series production and prototyped parts.

Complex manufacturing at rapid speeds

The world's fastest and largest direct metal 3D printers will allow Additive Manufacturing to become a mass manufacturing process when fully developed, opening up a whole world of possibilities for the simplification of complex assemblies, on-demand production and better performing, more efficient products.

Beam presents the new generation of Modulo 250, ideal for R&D

With its compact size, BeAM's Modulo 250 is not only designed for the manufacturing of small parts: it is particularly suitable for material research activities. Many laboratories, universities and research centers adopt this Directed Energy Deposition (DED) machine. After the People's Friendship University (Russia) and LAPRAS in Brazil, BeAM announces two new deliveries, one for Carleton University in Canada and the other for Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems R&D in Japan.

Beam presents the new generation of Modulo 400, ever more industrial

BeAM's Modulo 400 machine is attracting more and more industrial users and Research and Technology platforms. Latest customer references include Voestalpine AM Centre (Singapore), NLR (Netherlands), and ARTC (Advanced Remanufacturing Technology Centre, Singapore).

“Ambition” project: 3D printing of pure copper part presented at FormNext

At FormNext, AddUp presents the first pieces made of pure copper as part of the “Ambition” project. This collaborative Research and Development project brings together several industrial partners, including SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC (leader), PSA GROUP, VARINOR, LIFCO INDUSTRIE and ESI, as well as research laboratories: PIMM (Arts et Métiers ParisTech), SIMAP (INP Grenoble), LPGP (Université Paris-Sud) and LERMPS (Université de Technologie de Belfort-Montbéliard). The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the technico-economic feasibility of additive manufacturing of pure copper and copper alloys with powder bed laser beam melting (LBM) technology. Launched in 2018, the “Ambition” project is planned to last 42 months. It has a budget of 5.6 million euros, financed to the tune of 1.8 million euros by national funds (BPI France) and regional funds (Auvergne Rhône-Alpes and Ile- de-France regions) in the form of a FUI (Single Interministerial Fund).

AddUp presents FormUp 700, a large four-laser machine demonstrator

AddUp continues its strategy of increasing productivity for its FormUp® machine line. At the FormNext show, the manufacturer presents a part made on FormUp® 700, an industrial demonstrator of LBM (laser beam melting) machine equipped with a large platform and multi-laser technology. This first demonstrator was developed for IREPA Laser, a reference technology resource center in France for the implementation of industrial laser manufacturing processes. AddUp and IREPA Laser are partners in a research and development project on high productivity.

AddUp presents its vision of automated workshops

At FormNext 2019, AddUp Group presents an example of an automated metal additive manufacturing workshop. This concept is directly inspired by Michelin's know-how, which has been operating an equivalent workshop since 2014 for the manufacture of tyre molds.
