3D FABTECH
Learn how several organizations,
through collaboration, accelerated AM development to levels never seen before. The principles learned can be applied to all kinds of advances and provide a com- petitive advantage for organizations.
11-11:30 a.m. Presentation Showcase
Big Data Is the Next Frontier in Additive Manufacturing
Ludovico Camarda, chief business development, OR Laser
From cloud manufacturing to distrib- uted production environment, how can data generate additional value by empow- ering the end user? What synergies can be exploited? Carmarda explores these issues.
Automated Powder, Waste Handling in Laser-PBF System Renishaw Inc.
Booth B85
The RenAM 500M from Ren- ishaw Inc. is a laser-powder-bed fusion AM system designed for the production of metal components on the factory floor. It features automated powder and waste han- dling, enabling consistent process quality, reduced operator touch times and high system-safety stan- dards. Build volume is 250 by 250 by 350 mm. The RenAM 500M uses a Renishaw inhouse-designed and manufactured optical system and control platform.

Parts and Tools for AM Applications
Met-L-Flo Inc. Booth B63
11:30 a.m.-Noon Presentation Showcase
The Benefits of HIP and Heat Treatment for AM Components
Ron Adams, director of strategic busi- ness development-AM, Bodycote
AM components do not exhibit the mechanical properties required for robust service in industrial applications. But ther- mal treatments can improve their prop- erties, allowing use in demanding envi- ronments. This is especially true for two commonly used alloys, titanium 6-4 and Inconel 718. Data are presented on how HIP (hot isostatic pressing) and heattreat- ing can improve the mechanical properties of both alloys to achieve results very close to those of wrought-component proper- ties. Post-processing also is addressed.
2-3 p.m.
Feature Presentation
Optimization, Preparation and Simulation Software for Additive Manufacturing
Duann Scott, business development and strategy-additive manufacturing, Autodesk Scott provides an overview of some of the latest tools to optimize geometry, and build and process parameters for AM using simulation of part properties and
the manufacturing process itself.
Met-L-Flo Inc. will exhibit parts and tools for AM applications. Use of these AM parts and tools enables low-volume custom production of specialty products. Parts are applied for prototyping, tooling, quality assurance, and preproduction sales and marketing samples. Visitors can speak with company experts to learn how to advance their manu- facturing capabilities by engaging these technologies.

3D-Data Capture
Zeiss Industrial Metrology Booth B73
The Comet L3D 2 from Zeiss Industrial Metrology offers the latest sensor technol- ogy and project-orientated software for simple and reliable 3D-data capture. Users can map the 3D data of components quick- ly and accurately and gain increased scope for a multitude of measuring tasks. The unit’s high-performance software platform, colin3D, ensures an efficient and project- oriented procedure during the measuring process, according to company officials.
Applications include quality control and inspection, mold and model making, design, rapid prototyping, reverse engi- neering, and more.
