PLANO, Texas, Nov. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Siemens announced today that it has signed an agreement to acquire Atlas 3D, Inc., a Plymouth, Indiana-based developer of software that works with direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) printers to automatically provide design engineers with the optimal print orientation and requisite support structures for additive parts in near real-time. Atlas 3D will […]
ITAMCO (Indiana Technology and Manufacturing Companies) is part of a team developing a new runway mat for the United States Air Force. Runway mats are a critical component of Expeditionary Airfields (EAFs). EAFs are portable airfields that can be constructed, used, broken down after the completion of a mission, and moved to another site for […]
Additive manufacturing (AM) is bridging the gap between what designers can envision and machinists can fabricate. Manufacturability is just as defining for AM as it is for traditional factory processes. The thing and act of its making are still intertwined. Metal AM is just now “becoming mainstream enough that people are starting to talk about […]
3D printing simulation is become widespread for 3D printing processes. All3DP has released an article giving an overview of when to use these valuable tools. Simulation enables engineers to predict or estimate how a material will behave under a specific set of constraints or conditions. The ability to simulate the additive manufacturing process to compensate […]
Engirneering.com recently took a look at the current state of 3D printing simulation software. They spoke to Atlas 3D about its cloud-based, International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)-compliant software solution known as Sunata. Atlas 3D was founded in 2017 and developed Sunata as a plug-in for Autodesk Inventor. Soon realizing the full potential value of […]
3D Logics is now utilizing the Sunata™ platform with their EOS M290 3D printer. 3D Logics is a professional 3D printing and design services company based in Hillsboro, Oregon. They specialize in everything 3D printing, and focus on SLS plastics, DMLS metals, 3D design, part optimization, and 3D scanning. 3D Logics strives to provide quality […]
3D MetalPrinting Magazine recently released a blog post highlighting part orientation in additive manufacturing. Optimizing the orientation on the build plate can be difficult, but proper orientation optimizes support-structures, minimizes thermal distortion, reduces part completion time, and helps produce optimal parts. Getting to the right orientation is tricky. Often there is no “right” orientation, only […]
Fabbloo recently released a blog post highlighting Atlas 3D’s new features. The article highlighted Distortion Compensation and Intelligent Nesting, two new features Sunata™ now offers. Click Here to Read the full article.
3D printing is most widely known for its ability to make bobble heads and plastic trinkets, but it is a practical way to produce unique or specialized parts. As an example, 3D printers allow airplane and car parts to be made without a machine shop or having to tool up an entire factory. This makes […]
ITAMCO will be hosting an Additive Manufacturing Regional Summit to provide insight into this emerging technology which according to Mckinsey & Company will reach $100 Billion by 2025. The summit will be an introduction on how to get started with Additive Manufacturing. Attendees will get a full view of the industry from several perspectives. Speakers […]
