3D, Additive Manufacturing news, technology

In 2018, metal 3D printing technology company, 3DEO Inc., printed more than 30,000 parts for customers in medical, aerospace, defense, consumer, and industrial equipment markets. Having secured two additional customer production orders for 24,000 pieces and 28,000 pieces, 3DEO is more than doubling its production capabilities with its metal 3D printers.

“3DEO is rapidly expanding to fill a large void in the market of small complex metal parts. Customers are validating our technology across a variety of industries and we are either in production or quickly moving to production with many clients. Additive manufacturing (AM) is finally competing directly with traditional manufacturing, enabling significant volumes to shift over to AM,” says Matt Petros, CEO and co-founder.

VELO3D’s software advances metal 3DP, production

VELO3D’s Flow print-preparation software ensures predictable print outcomes while native CAD workflow controls performance consistent with the design intent, reducing print preparation time. Designed for VELO3D’s Sapphire laser fusion metal additive manufacturing (AM) system, Flow includes tools for part orientation, support generation, simulated print predictions, per-surface process application, slice composer, and process review. Manufacturers can print complex part geometries SupportFree, enabling volume manufacturing of parts that were previously impossible or uneconomical to print due to hard-to-remove support structures.
