3D printing control system takes flight

AIDRO,,,,a hydraulic equipment producer based inLombardy, Italy,has used metal 3D printing to allow a disabled pilot to fly once again.

Under the ServoFly project, a group of Italian designers developed a device that adjusts the throttle control bar of a plane engine as well as anaircraft cockpit “plug-and-fly” flight control system, named “ServoFly T4/1”. The personalized system was realized through selective laser sintering (SLS).

接收者Mattia Negusanti因在意大利军队期间发生的事故而失去了一只手中的流动性。尽管受伤,但T4/1的伺服T4/1允许Negusanti控制飞机。

库卡与太平洋西北航空联盟联盟

In the latest partnerships,库卡,,,,a German manufacturer of industrial robots and solutions, hasjoined the太平洋西北航空联盟(PNAA), which aims to strengthen the manufacturing supply chain to provide lighter, more fuel efficient, and safer aircraft.

Acting as a participating member, KUKA will share its knowledge on automation at PNAA conferences and events, with the intention of bettering the aerospace industry. Steve Green, general manager at KUKA, explained:

“Technology in the aerospace industry is constantly changing, as are the requirements for the safety and comfort of the aircraft’s passengers. At KUKA, we develop fast, flexible, and customized products for our aerospace customers to make their jobs a little easier.”

“By joining the PNAA, we can share our industry expertise with others, as well as learn from other industry leaders’ experiences. We’re excited to be a part of the effort to spur innovations in the industry alongside some of the top aerospace companies in the world.”

别处,苯四苯,,,,a Russian3D printer and合成的材料制造商与中国材料公司合作聚合物开发具有新的化学和机械性能的复合零件。

As a result of this collaboration, Anisoprint will use its复合纤维共排骨(CFC)技术到process any plastic with a processing temperature up to 270°С as a matrix material. Polymaker will supply a wide range of engineering 3D printing materials, including PETG, ABS, PC, PLA, and PAs, to produce the 3D printed composite parts.

创建了由PETG和复合碳纤维(CCF)制成的乳制品生产线的3D打印的Clevis部分,作为该合作伙伴关系的概念证明。这部分被认为是对过氧化物的抗性,以及强度和轻量级。

探索金属添加剂制造

SLV Halle,,,,a non-profit, German research institute, has purchased anARC405metal 3D printer fromGEFERTEC。研究学院主任Steffen Keitel教授说:“这使我们能够推动研究基础设施的战略扩展,并使金属加工公司更容易整合添加剂制造流程。”

In Pennsylvania,太阳气氛,,,,a真空热处理服务提供商捐赠和安装一个实验室炉利哈伊大学’s Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science与宾夕法尼亚州的威廉和默特尔·琼斯基金会(William and Myrtle Jones Foundation)结合使用,捐赠的炉子(称为导师)将实现冶金生物的实验,尤其是基于添加剂制造业。

在软件中,Spatial Corp,基于科罗拉多州的子公司Dassault Systèmeshas released the 2019 1.0.2 toolkit with enhanced 3D modeling performance, improved diagnostics, and additional interoperability features.

Californian software providerDigiFabster,已引入Guadalajara-basedShift 3D,,,,as its Platinum Reseller Partner for Mexico. Valente Espinoza Contreras, CEO of Shift 3D, said, “We’re impressed by the software solution offered by DigiFabster. Having the ability to automate quoting, order entry and project management is a huge opportunity for our customers.”

威斯康星州技术开发商ADDerehas released awhitepaper在设计Laser Wire Additive Manufacturing(lwam)。

“The ADDere system has proven its capability in reducing time to market for products that would previously rely on casting processes,” said Scott Woida, president of ADDere, a division of中西部工程系统(MWES).

“在几天而不是几个月内交付相同的等级部分 - 我们正在谈论的零件可能是卡车变速箱或更大的零件。那是改变游戏规则的人。”

最后,全球标准开发人员国际ASTM将托管它Fourth ASTM Symposium on Structural Integrity of Additive Manufactured Materials and Parts从2019年10月7日至10日在华盛顿特区。该活动将为有关设计原则以及资格和认证标准的进一步讨论提供一个论坛。
