The metal additive world is awash in laser powder systems. They work great for highly detailed, precision parts – as long as they are on the small side. What if the part far exceeds the build volume of the usual
ADDere is known for 3D printing some very large things, as well as being able to weld very large things together, but what many don’t know is the process can also add to existing parts made through other processes. The
Here’s a video of our new coaxial head in action. The new head from Laser Mechanisms allows for step change controllability of the laser wire additive process that ADDere uses. Here, the system is printing material samples for an upcoming
Metal additive processes have been working their way into manufacturing for some time, the bulk of that movement has been through laser powder systems. These technologies can make finely featured smaller-scale components. What happens when a firm needs a much
The same process that is used to build giant metal 3D prints is also used to laser weld metals. When set up to do additive, the system puts down layer upon layer of material. When welding, the laser is used
In the June 2020 issue of the Fabricator, ADDere’s latest print, our massive rocket engine assembly is featured in a sidebar of an article about DED additive processes. In this article, the Fabricator gives a general overview of Directed Energy
Our latest part shows ADDere’s unique capability of printing not only a rocket combustion chamber and nozzle but seamlessly merging them into one full-size rocket thrust chamber assembly. The scale available with the ADDere laser wire additive manufacturing system provides
With most of our customers requiring the utmost secrecy, we really don’t have a lot of opportunities to show off our work. We do have clearance to show off this image. What you’re looking at here is a close-up of
Due to the spread of Covid-19, the SME group, the firm that operates Rapid/TCT has decided to postpone the show until 2021 when it will be held in Chicago, IL rather than Anaheim, as scheduled for this year. We here
Visit ADDere at Rapid+TCT 2020, Booth 3230, April 21-23 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA to see some of our large-scale 3D metal prints and an example ADDere system. We will also have technical staff on hand to
ADDere is a cutting-edge metal wire 3D printing process created for high complexity, large-scale industrial components.
