Wir klären auf: Wie unterscheiden sich Metallpulverbetttechnologien?

Für die additive Fertigung von Metallanwendungen stehen eine Vielzahl von Pulverbettfusionstechnologien (PBF) zur Verfügung. Während sie sich in der Art und Weise ähneln, wie Teile Schicht für Schicht aus Metallpulver hergestellt werden, bietet jede Technologie ihre eigenen Vorteile. Aber woher wissen Sie, welche Option für Ihre Bedürfnisse geeignet ist, und warum sollten Sie eine der anderen vorziehen?

Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, in dem  GE Additive sich mit den Besonderheiten von Laser-Pulverbettfusion (L-PBF), Elektronenstrahl-Pulverbettfusion (EB-PBF) und Binder Jet befasst und deren Vorteile vergleicht. Es wird auch erklärt, wann Sie sich für eine andere entscheiden sollten und welche Branchen bei der Einführung der PBF-Technologie für Metall führend sind.

GE Aviation garnered international recognition for the development of the LEAP fuel nozzle, the first jet engine part designed specifically for metal additive. Hundreds of thousands of the fuel nozzles have been produced since its introduction, ushering in the era of metal additive production.

But, what has been happening since the fuel nozzle was developed? Where has GE Aviation taken metal additive beyond the production of that single part and what have they learned from their experiences?

Join GE Aviation’s Benito Trevino and Chris Philp for this free webinar as they reveal how the early experience creating an additive production part has evolved into the industrialization of parts and systems using additive manufacturing across multiple engines. They will also discuss how enhancements to GE Additive’s M2 Series 5 machine have made it an ideal machine for aerospace production.

Unlocking the Mystery: Differentiating Metal Powder Bed Technologies

A variety of powder-bed-fusion (PBF) technologies are available for additive manufacturing of metal applications. While they are similar in the way parts are made layer by layer using metal powder, each technology offers its own advantages. But how do you know which option is right for your needs, and why would you select one over the other?

Join this webinar as GE Additive delves into the specifics of  laser powder-bed-fusion (L-PBF), electron beam powder bed fusion (EB-PBF) and Binder Jet and compares the advantages of each. The session will also explore when you may choose one over another and what industries are leading the way in adoption of metal PBF technology.

Join Kelly Brown and Nick Buhr to delve deeper into a recent collaboration between GE Aviation and GE Additive that converted four conventionally cast parts to additive and sliced up to 35 percent of their cost in the process. This game changing initiative, that took only 10 months from identifying target parts to 3D printing final prototypes, shows that metal additive can go toe-to-toe with conventional castings on price.

Additive manufacturing has long been recognized as a disruptive approach to maximizing design freedom and improving part performance. Metal additive has been evolving to become an alternative to traditional manufacturing methods. Meanwhile, metal binder jetting has increased the build rate by orders of magnitude, making it a viable replacement now for traditional manufacturing, in particular castings. The combination of Binder Jet’s technology advancements and innovative designs is helping to facilitate the leap to large-scale production.

Join this webinar and learn how designing a part for Binder Jet can build a winning business case and can lead to an effective way to produce parts for serial production.

Topics covered will include:
•    Examples of Binder Jet parts
•    Designing for the process
•    Advantages over casting
•    Material properties
•    Total part cost review

Binder Jetting Hard-to-Weld, Nickel-Based Superalloy RENÉ 108

The ultra-high strength of nickel-based superalloys with low ductility comes with the price of high susceptibility to cracking and a high residual stress state when processed with conventional powder bed fusion technologies. Binder Jet additive manufacturing is an interesting alternative to other additive manufacturing (AM) modalities, since it does not require melting to fuse powder material but selectively adheres powder with a binder. While there are several studies on the use of melting and other solidification-based AM technologies for nickel-based superalloys, limited literature is available on the use of Binder Jet for these materials.

This webinar looks at the advantages and disadvantages associated with using Binder Jet with RENÉ 108 as an example superalloy. Based on the study done by GE Additive, 'Ecole Polytechnique and GE Power, this session will examine the effects on the green, brown and sintered states of the part, looking at mechanical properties and deformation at all stages and applications related to Ni alloys.
