Metal AM Technology - The Fastest Way to Make the Hardest Parts
Despite great interest, the use of metal additive manufacturing in production applications has been limited by high production costs, slow printing speeds, complexity, and quality issues. Current methods take too long to be practical, or require the use of dangerous materials, specialized hardware, and multiple complex finishing steps. Digital Alloys' patented technology Joule Printing metal additive manufacturing technology is a radically simple new process that uses inexpensive wire feedstock and high deposition rates to print the hard metal parts faster and at lower cost. This presentation will discuss how customers use Joule Printing; to produce parts at a lower cost than conventional manufacturing. The presentation also describes initial applications of the technology, which include the production of con-formally cooled tools for the automotive and consumer products industries, and the delivery of high-quality titanium parts for the aerospace industry.

3D Printed Tools for Manufacturing Environments
In this session we will cover how manufacturers today are using 3D printers to rapidly produce manufacturing tools, aids, and fixtures to maximize operational efficiency. Various 3D printing technologies will be covered as is relevant to their usefulness for common manufacturing use cases. 3D printing materials will be covered to help illustrate the right material for the right job. Finally, a 3D printing success story from a Cincinnati Incorporated customer will be shared.
