Identifying a critical part to be produced with metal AM is only the beginning—and many manufacturers feel left alone to navigate the complexity of setting up a metal AM production unit for factory. Well aware that a project’s cost-effectiveness depends on the entire workflow from design to the final, Quality-approved parts, GF Machining Solutions and 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) bring their combined and legendary technical legacy to the customer’s doorstep. At Formnext 2019, the two manufacturing technology powerhouses bring the metal AM factor to life with a streamlined workflow, including industry-leading 3D printers, wire-cutting Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) and high speed milling machine, advanced 3DXpert® software, services and thoroughly tested materials.
Formnext 2019: GF Machining Solutions and 3D Systems bring an optimized, state-of-the-art metal AM workflow to manufacturers
2019-11-18 下午4:00Visitors to Formnext 2019 will discover how GF Machining Solutions and 3D Systems make mastery of metal Additive Manufacturing a reality today. Hall 12.1, Stand D19/D03 at the November 19–22, 2019 event in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, is the place to experience how these two world-leading manufacturing technology experts are uniquely positioned to help series part manufacturers realize the game-changing benefits of metal AM—immediately.
One partner, every step of the way
Bringing together their process expertise and multi-technology know-how, GF Machining Solutions and 3D Systems will take the stage at Formnext 2019 to demonstrate how they make it easy for manufacturers to integrate metal AM into their operations. At the same time, they maintain their part integrity, profit from a fast separation process and low running costs, and face the future with confidence that they have a scalable, Automation-ready solution. From expert consultancy and identification of critical parts all the way through to a full and optimized metal AM workflow—part design, preparation, printing and inspection to post-processing and separating the AM part from the build platform—GF Machining Solutions and 3D Systems help manufacturers overcome the technical and economic challenges of 3D printing.
To illustrate the benefits of their optimized metal AM workflow, GF Machining Solutions and 3D Systems will highlight two intriguing metal AM parts: a spinal fusion cage for orthopedic surgery and a lightweight bracket used in the aerospace industry for satellite technology. Formnext 2019 visitors interested in taking a deeper dive into the optimized metal AM workflow can register for exclusive guided booth tours at www.gfms.com/events/formnext-2019.
