Additive Industries and Additive Assurance are partnering to provide in-situ process monitoring with Additive Industries’ MetalFab portfolio of laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) machines.
Additive Industries has been a leader in the production of L-PBF machines for over a decade, serving customers who demand high levels of scalability and automation. Their machines, particularly the recently launched MetalFab 300 Flex model, provide manufacturers with a flexible platform to make 3D printing of metal parts more efficient and accessible.
At a time when the productivity and build rates of 3D printers are steadily increasing, the need for continuous monitoring of the production process is becoming increasingly important. To ensure consistently high quality and repeatability, the integration of in-process monitoring has become essential. Additive Industries has recognized this need and offers an advanced monitoring solution through its partnership with Additive Assurance.
The AMiRIS system developed by Additive Assurance makes it possible to check the quality of components during production. This speeds up the validation process and ensures greater production consistency and improved yields. The integration of AMiRIS into the MetalFab series addresses the challenges of quality assurance through advanced in-situ monitoring, allowing manufacturers to identify and resolve potential quality issues at an early stage. This strengthens certification processes and increases confidence in the quality of the end product.
“Our partnership with Additive Assurance aligns perfectly with our commitment to advancing the capabilities of metal additive manufacturing. By integrating AMiRIS with our MetalFab portfolio, including our new MetalFab 300 Flex, we’re enhancing real-time quality assurance, offering our customers greater flexibility, and setting new standards in production consistency and reliability.” said Mark Massey, CEO at Additive Industries. “We are delighted to be working with Additive Industries to add value to their customers’ experience and to push the boundaries of what is possible with L-PBF AM,” added Marten Jurg, CEO of Additive Assurance.
This partnership is expected to increase the use of in-process monitoring for users of the MetalFab portfolio, contributing to the wider acceptance of the evolving L-PBF process in industrial production.
